Red Tails, Hacksaw Ridge,'

Improved Essays
The movies “Pearl Harbor”, “Red Tails”, “Alone in Berlin”, “Hacksaw Ridge” and “Saving Private Ryan” all have many historical events and historical people. Many people believe that the producers that produced these movies did an excellent job making these movies happen.
For example, “Pearl Harbor”, in my opinion, is the best movie that helps portray an important historical event that happened in the history of the United States of America. This movie shapes the important event of the attack on Pearl Harbor, it shows how the attack affected the American society and the American people. The next movie “Red Tails”, also known as Tuskegee Airmen, shows the very first African American air pilots, and their battle for others to accept the fact that

    Restrepo is a documentary that follows the journey of soldiers who were deployed to what was described as the most dangerous part of Afghanistan; it was named after “Doc” Restrepo who was unfortunately killed while being deployed. Watching this film put into perspective a lot of the documents we have previously read. For example when Dan Kearney stated that the equipment that was supposed to protect them has numerous bullet holes. Having an image of the location and what the soldiers went through and putting a face to those recounting the stories made it very significant. The immediate reaction these soldiers expressed when first landing was pure fear.…

    I chose the film Gettysburg because it provides a great overview of the battle of Gettysburg. Gettysburg is a 1993 American war film. The film tells the story of the battle between the Union and confederate armies during the Civil War. The movie made sure to capture each day of the battle, which lasted three days. I was kind of confused at first because the film had no clear protagonist and antagonist.…

    Al Gore’s film An Inconvenient Truth, making the argument that global warming is real and humans are the cause for it, but we can also do something about it. On the other hand you have Michael Moore film, Bowling for Columbine, who is trying to make the argument that the gun violence in America is in large part due to the fear that is present in our daily lives in America and that is why we have more gun violence than other countries. Although they both did a job in presenting their arguments, Gore’s, An inconvenient Truth did a better job in opinion in making his case than Moore. After watching both of these films, Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth did a better job in convincing me of his argument, throughout his film he used facts, appealed to our emotions, and he was consistent throughout the whole film. He appeals…

    If a solid story, and am favorable with the subject content, I tend to enjoy a good period piece film. In a way it's the closest thing we have to a machine that can go back in time, that we can actually see events unfold for ourselves. Researched thoroughly, it's contents can not only be entertaining, but a learning experience as well. Unless if based on a conspiracy theory, then all bets are off.

    My favorite film is Remember the Titans. The film is about a football team and their struggles with integrating an African American high school and a Caucasian high school. Taking place in Virginia in 1971, the film shows the racial tension of the community using techniques to make it cinematic. One of the ways that allows the viewer to understand the tension in the movie is with camera angles.…

    Orson Welles’ film Citizen Kane (1941) is significant in the movie world because of the innovations it made not only in technique, but also in how films were conceptualized. It planted seeds for the film noir movement that was to come, and popularized lighting, angling, and transitioning methods filmmakers still use today. But Welles’ greatest legacy in Citizen Kane lies in his ability, through casting, plot, and cinematographic choices, to paint a man whose life is corrupted and ultimately destroyed by an unwavering lust for fulfillment of the “American Dream” through fame, fortune, and power. One technique that Citizen Kane has come to be known for is the use of deep focus shots. These shots required a careful balance of lighting and composition,…

    Looking at the three films that covered some degree of adapting or questioned culture and changes in the norm. I was able to see the full depth of transition and cultural identity that Japan had at the moment. Through these three movies and especially the ones set during World war two I was able to see the Japan trying to grow to fit a new world with new ideas and standards. It was also clear to see the different expectations and realities that all the different players were seeing or working with. Starting off looking at Hiroshima and a Bridge to the Sun, both of these films really led me to see a Japan that was holding on to its traditions and values while failing to see how it was hurting itself.…

    Historical events serve importance due to the process used to evaluate the significance of certain events, people, and developments in the past. Mario Van Peebles, the director of USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage depicts his film based off patriotism and cynicism (motivated purely by self-interest). Even though the film never truly depicts all the catastrophic events that happened with the sinking of the USS Indianapolis, there seems to still have a presence of interest in making sure that the world never forgets about the brave men who floated at sea for days before being rescued. Furthermore, undergoing a top-secret mission for the president to have certain supplies delivered for the atomic bomb (Little boy) that would fall upon thousands of innocent people in Hiroshima. The film…
