The Imitation Game, starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Keira Knightley, is a World War 2 film, based on a true story of how those of the British Intelligence cracked the codes of the Enigma, an advanced German coding machine. The film was not bashed for its historical accuracy, but some of that ease on the criticism may have been because Alan Turing has finally been given justice after 60 years. The historical inaccuracies were not major, although added up, they play a key role in the interest…

all the good elements I’ve mentioned with an interesting and new plot. This hasn’t influenced my thinking whatsoever and hasn’t changed anything about my previous thoughts or beliefs. The only thing I learned from this is that I finally know what Mel Gibson looks like. I haven’t gained an any more understanding of people than I did before because it’s a completely fictional movie and no one can be sure how the world would react if aliens invaded. If this movies goal is to entertain its audience…

To be general, any movie made in Hollywood with a budget in the millions will be geared in one direction: to make money. Take for example, the film Apocalypto, written and directed in part by Mel Gibson. This type of ‘crafted’ history is ill suited for study, for these films merely warp an already general understanding of the events they describe based on little narrative history to base it on. The film Apocalypto is one of those films: visually attractive, brash, gory and above all, degrading…

Though I am not a huge fan of symphony like music, I am a fan of movies. One of my all-time favorite movies would be We Were Soldiers, starring Mel Gibson. This movie is based on the book We Were Soldiers Once…and Young by Lt. Colonel Harold G. Moore. Both the book and movie are based around the first battle of the Vietnam War and depicts the soldiers, and battle, from both the Americans and Vietnamese point of view. I chose this movie because war movies are usually full of suspense, and…

In the Franco Zefirelli's film version of Hamlet Mel Gibson plays Hamlet and portrays him as being intimidated and not as confident when going into the fight with Laertes. Before the fight begins the king is portrayed as anxious and on edge waiting for Laertes to kill Hamlet and win the fight when he stabs Hamlet with the poisoned sword or if and when Hamlet drinks from the cup which the king has poisoned. Either way the king and Laertes want revenge and plan on getting it through a series of…

While this movie is one based to historical, I found that is it also just as thrilling and action packed as The Dark Knight was. This one also features an all-star cast, like Mel Gibson, Heath Ledger (Yes, he is in both!), Jason Isaacs. At the beginning of the film Benjamin Martin, in the midst of the colonies gaining their independence from the King and Monarch, is suddenly dragged into a war he never wanted to have to fight in…

On the last year everyone in the class needed to pick a branch that they wanted to serve in. Moore graduated from West Point on June 5, 1945 and he was…
