In the movie Glory the director was Edward Zwick and the genres were biography, drama, and history. This movie started off with the creation of a completely black army and they had to get trained and in shape, so they will be ready for battle. At first they don’t have anything, because no one thinks they deserve to have the good shoes, pants, coats and hats. After Col. Gould Shaw takes captain of this all black army he demanded for the head commander to give this small group nice uniforms just like all the rest. The group eventually gets asked to fight in a little battle against something like a militia. Following this battle they become the infantry unit to go in and distract the people inside Fort Wagner until back-up can arrive but this …show more content…
Trip or the actual actor of Denzel Washington. A few lines and scenes in this movie made Denzel very famous and will be remember for a long time. Denzel’s acting was absolutely phenomenal in scenes like when he goes against Col. Gould and at first they dont get along very well because of the different mind set between Denzel and Col. Gould Shaw based off of how they grew up.Denzel turned into his character and played his character role throughout the entire movie without being himself and ruining the character. The battle of Fort Wagner did not focus on Denzel as much as the times when they were in the camps and denzel was sticking up for all the blacks seeing that they had a similar childhoods and they know what they are capable of and how much fighting in this army means to them. When all the black me get their tickets and are about to go exchange them Denzel starts yelling “ tear it up, tear it up,” because he is trying to protest the lower pay that the black men are getting. He quickly get everyone on board and they all rip it up along with Col. Gould Shaw who also gets in on it as the captain of this squadron. This shows what an influential and powerful character he is playing that really leads this group of guys, hypes them up and gives them a fighting spirit. I think he was a good actor that never broke character, was dedicated and mentally engulfed in the film and loved his role in the movie based of off all the examples I
Glory The 1989 film Glory is a classic Civil War film based on the history of the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Regiment. The film focuses on the courage displayed by the first black regiment in the Civil War, also known as the “Fighting Fifty-fourth.” The regiment, headed by the admirable Colonel Robert Gould Shaw, Matthew Broderick, must overcome an enormous amount of adversity during the war.

The video MIDWAY a message from the Gyre: a short film by Chris Jordan gave me the chills and ultimately upset me. In the beginning of the short film the diretor shows us a glimpse of the seagulls that inhibit Midway Island, North Pacific Ocean, an Island that is more than 2,000 miles from the nearest continent. Jordan includes a clip of a mother gull feeding her baby gull before showing us snapshots of dead gulls with trash and plastic in their bodies. When i first saw these pictures I honestly thought that the photogragher arranged random pieces of plastic found on the isand into a dead seagull’s body. After the snapshots the director included a video of the photographer cutting open in a seagull’s body and taking random objects and pieces of plastic out. When I saw this my heart broke, I was in disgust and mad at us humans. The poor birds dying shown in the following clips were also very sad and graphic. These innocent birds are consumming
The events that were portrayed in “Black Hawk Down” drastically affected the U.S.’ foreign policy during the 1990’s. The U.S soldiers went into a country in East Africa called Somalia.

The mission was only supposed to take an hour, but it ended up lasting the entire night into the next morning. It was a short war that the U.S. never wanted to get into.
Music plays a huge role in todays society, as the music-in-film world progresses along side the improvements and changes in the musical industry we as viewers often underestimate the usefulness of music, in any form, can have over even the most unresponsive kinds of people. In almost everything we do and see music is involved in some form or another. Like a piece played at a wedding, a funeral, or even just a song played on the. Because of this, most great movies use music (or an absence of music) to illuminate the scenes and draw up the emotions the viewer needs to feel to make it a truly magnificent film. The 2003 Film Seabiscuit, which was based on the best selling book Seabiscuit: An American Legend by Laura Hillenbrand, is a famous film
Hollywood war movies are commonly based around heroic and courageous actions. These are major characteristics in the movies Saving Private Ryan and Black Hawk Down. Although the film Black Hawk Down is based on an actual event, it is all about common soldiers conquering fear and hardship to save wounded allies, despite seeing the deaths of friends along the way. The story becomes personalized and revolves around a few individual soldiers who give examples of heroism. In the movie, one soldier returns to base injured and later chooses to return to the front line to help rescue his allies that are more gravely wounded than him. There are also multiple instan...
Characters. The characters dynamics also helped the movie to become a success. For Phoenix and Spartan, they can be considered the perfect representation of the different end of "law enforcement": one is disrespecting the law (Phoenix) and the one who respects the law (Spartan). In the movie, we saw the impact of abusing the use of law to the point that it's not good for the subordinates anymore, and we also saw the impact of not following the law that harmed a lot of innocent people.

In Miller’s Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior, we find a post-apocalyptic world that is plagued with miserable living conditions and riddled with an unquenchable thirst for gasoline. This strange world’s currency is not based on a monetary system, but instead, it is based on deals and contracts. This kind of contract based world leads to discrepancies between characters and most of all these deals give us a look into how trustworthy each character is. Usually, if a character makes a deal that he knows he is not willing to keep, then that character is one of the least trustworthy characters in the story, and if a character follows through with his deal, then that character is usually a trustworthy person who will be noble throughout the story. As we delve into the bowels of this

The opening scene of the movie shows President Mandela being freed from jail and driving past a field of young boys playing soccer. All the boys start chanting the Presidents name and running to the fences to get a better look. This is the first scene, and an obvious show of support and following for Mr. Mandela. Throughout the movie there are many different styles and approaches of leadership shown. Not only is President
To choose an all-time favorite movie is one of great difficulty for me. I love several movies and would consider many of them my favorites. One movie that, for many reasons, speaks volumes to me would be The Wizard of Oz directed by Victor Fleming. The actors and actresses starring in the film, including Judy Garland and Frank Morgan have a way of bringing the characters of Dorothy Gale and the Wizard of Oz to life. I also applaud how, in the midst of the Great Depression, the movie industry was able to release a film that inspired hope and brought an element of fun to a struggling nation. The final element of this movie that I admire is the ways you are able to connect with the characters on a personal level and in many ways feel the same love and/or resentment toward another character.
