I believe that National Treasure is one of the best movies released to the world that teaches many people the history of America at a young age. It is a movie that encourages people that if they believe in something, to go ahead and search for the answers.

This secret of gold was hidden during the Revolutionary War by the Founding Fathers. As a little boy, Ben’s grandfather tells him the story of how the secret came to be, “What was the secret? A treasure. A treasure beyond all imagining. A treasure that had been fought over for centuries by tyrants, pharaohs, emperors, warlords. And every time it changed hands it grew larger.

1. I think the place of the movie is very important because even though World War 2 was happening it wasn't happening everywhere. I think that the setting of the movie was supposed to mean something to people of other countries, especially in America. If it had been set in America, it wouldn't have made much sense or as much as an impact because World War 2 wasn't a huge thing to Americans yet. The culture was also so different as well and I think it makes people look at that differently as well.

...im decides to tell Long John everything he did to try to ruin his plan to find the treasure he spares Jim’s life even though the other pirates want him dead. Long John also decides to stand by Jim even though he has a feeling his crew is going to take him out of his captain position. Jim shows a lot of courage and that he’s a man of his word when he is given the opportunity to run away but instead he decides to stay because he gave Long John his word that he will help him through his trial. Jim is taken to where the treasure is believed to be but when they dig up the area there was no treasure. The treasure is later discovered at site where Ben Gunn has hidden it. The reasons I mentioned earlier steers Jim in the right direction of the treasure because of him not trusting Long John but instead using his smarts and his very high maturity level to find the treasure.

Money, money, money, and the love of money is the root of all evil. Money, has led the characters of Treasure Island to kill, lie, cheat, and put themselves in great peril to acquire it. The Squire Trelawney, the good Doctor, and Jim really have no cause to go in the search of the fortune that they did not earn or place where it rest. Wealth, whether found, earned, or inherited does not automatically speak well of the owner. The test of one’s character should be more than economical success.
The main characters in the movie were all made up characters, yet most were based loosely on historical figures. For example, George Clooney plays Frank Stokes, who is based on George Stout, the founder of the Monuments Men. Stout was an expert at art restoration and enlisted in the navy in 1943. Originally, the historic Monuments Men simply provided information to the Allies about areas and buildings they should not bomb in order to preserve art. Later, they began the more rigorous work of actually going out and rescuing the artwork.

The movie has left an unfavorable taste in my mouth with the unfortunate loss of Tom and Huck’s hunt for treasure. Huck and Tom were on a trek for treasure like pirates use to. They end up at a haunted house where they find Injun Joe and his partner discussing the location of a big sum of money. Huck and Tom listen intently with hope of finding the money. The first clue they used led them to a room in a tavern where Injun Joe laid passed out and drunk. Realizing the treasure isn’t located in a place but an area, they continue the search. Tom and Becky get lost in a cave while on a trip and eventually get rescued. Tom and Huck are about to give up when they realize the treasure is in the cave and retrieve it. The adventure and search of the treasure was an essential scene that should have been in the movie because, it shows how the treasure was found and its ties with Injun Joe.

Benjamin Franklin Gates, played by Nicolas Cage, comes from a family of treasure hunters. When he was young, Gates found out that his family’s job is to guard a treasure hidden by the Founding Fathers. The hidden clues lead to the whereabouts of the country's currency and a crucial clue can be found on the back of the Declaration of Independence. The only problem is that the clues are highly cryptic and are scattered all over the country. After an initial clue from Gates’ grandfather, he heads to a sunken ship, the Charlotte, in Alaska where he believes the treasure is. He is disappointed when it only leads to another clue located on the back of the Declaration of Independence. To make matters worse, Gates has found out that one of his partners, Ian Howe played by Sean Bean, is going after the treasure as well. In order to protect the treasure, Gates decides to warn the proper authorities of the planned robbery. When nobody believes him, Gates is forced to steal the document with the help of his sidekick Riley Poole played by Justin Bartha. The movie’s motto helps describe this situation perfectly by stating “In order to break the code, one man will have to break all the rules.”
Anyway, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a significant film for me which taught me a lot and helped me with my mood, I saw many things open and felt better than before. It is lucky for me to watch such a philosophical film when I was lost and
