Neville Ashworth

Our film was an adaption of I Am Legend by Richard Matheson. We had three parts in the film, the introduction to the world, Neville meeting Ruth, Neville and Ruth having dinner. My main contribution was through the editing and I also directed the chase sequence. We chose I Am Legend because it was fresh in our minds and we’d seen three adaptions of the book already. We decided that Neville and Ruth’s relationship would be the easiest to portray on screen since we only needed two actors. The group originally wanted to do just the meeting scene but it was decided to tack on the dinner scene for length and to flesh out Ruth more. In the introduction, we mainly used a montage and voiceover narration. However, the first 30 seconds is done through…

The Munich Agreement was derived from a conference that occurred in Munich, Germany and signed on September 30, 1938 by Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, Édouard Daladier, and Neville Chamberlain. This agreement ensured that Hitler would be able to collect the Sudetenland he believed belonged to Germany without the use of violence. The Munich Agreement is an example of British and French attempts at appeasement because according to Overy’s definition of appeasement, this agreement gave Germany…

This seemed like a good thing to the leaders at the Conference because it created peace with Hitler, but that was not the case. On October 5th, 1938, Winston Churchill addressed the House of Commons with his speech called, Policy of His Majesty’s Government. Churchill, who was a Conservative in the House of Commons, was strongly against Neville Chamberlain’s appeasement stance with Hitler. In the speech he stated, “I will begin by saying what everybody would like to ignore or forget but which…

On the Nazi Invasion of Poland Analysis From 1937 to 1940, Neville Chamberlain reigned as the British Prime Minister. On September 1, 1939, Chamberlain gave a speech to the House of Commons regarding the Nazis’ recent actions hours prior to the speech. An attack on a German radio outpost on the German-Polish border was staged by the Nazis, and was used as the Nazis’ excuse for the invasion of Poland. Chamberlain had spent many years previous to this invasion trying to prevent another world war…

After the signing of the Munich Conference, Chamberlain claiming that he had secured “peace for our time”. Many that were British believe that what Neville Chamberlain did was a cowardly move and that standing up to Hitler’s military and large demand for territory was a better…

In what must have been a line meant particularly for Neville Chamberlain, in the same speech he announced that, “in my view, the rape of Albania is to the Anglo-Italian agreement what the destruction of Czechoslovakia was to the Munich agreement.” Attlee and the Labour party viewed the invasion of Albania and Czechoslovakia as “the end of the attempt to make peace by disregarding moral issues.” Labour party rhetoric was as pointed as ever, attacking Chamberlain’s policy of appeasement and…

For one reason, it provided them with a cushion, it gave them the upperhand on Germany if they were to attack. It provided the Czech’s with higher terrain; therefore, the German’s would be quite literally fighting an uphill battle. However, Hitler did not care what the Czechoslovak President thought, he wanted back what was originally Germany’s land. Tension was mounting, it looked as if Europe was heading off to another World War. The Prime Minister of England at the time, Neville Chamberlain…

The idea of Modern warfare was something that according to “” Neville Chamberlain would inflict much horror on civilians” (Lualdi, 252). Neville was not aware at the time how true his words would become so much the truth (Lualdi, 252). It seems once the war had begun there were those that seemed to be the target of the fury of Hitler (Laualdi, 252). It seems that what came of this horror that Hitler put citizens through was the Final solution. The Final solution was a system of camps that seemed…

The Munich Agreement and the Anglo-German Declaration For some European powers at the time, The Munich Agreement and the Anglo-German Declaration was considered to have achieved peace in our time. Unfortunately, the great claims of Neville Chamberlain did not come true. These agreements only delayed the evitable between the great European powers and allowed Hitler to gather more territory with relative ease. This document between the powers of Germany, United Kingdom, France, and Italy outlined…
