There were multiple different type of characters in the movie. The characters played important roles, they were needed. P.T. Barnum was the leading role of it all.

The economical and societal conditions and their changes during the film had a dramatic affect on the story. The movie starts off with James J. Braddock, in the twenties which was a great economical time, and it shows when he comes home, with a bundle of cash from the boxing match he has just one, to a beautiful house that is filled with nice objects in a nice suburbia neighborhood. This shows the audience the wealth of this time period and how many people could do no wrong and buy whatever they want. During the twenties unemployment was low and the stock market was up. This scene also points out where the Braddock family is now because it all changes in the very next scene. The next scene flashes forward to the thirties during the Depression and the setting changes to a small dim apartment located in the Bronx. During this time Braddock’s kids are not playing with any fancy toys or anything but his daughter has what looked like a home made doll. The significance for the movie to do this is to show the audience the hard times and the living conditions of the Depression. People did not have a lot of money. Braddock gives his meal up to his daughter when she says she is still hungry after she finished hers. He had to give up his...
The play is so relatable to viewers because the characters are the kind of people everyone knows. Steve Brand is the sensible character. He, alone, is the person who keeps level-headed throughout the entire ordeal. He addresses each development rationally and tries to keep everyone together. Charlie starts out as a friendly neighbor, but soon turns into the leader of the witch hunt. He even kills someone in his pursuit to find a scapegoat. He and the rest of the people on Maple Street become dangerously defensive once they?re willing to hurt another human being.
Mallory is about to have her baby. It really brings them all together to get over their difference and help Mrs. Mallory give birth and Doc Boone sober up before becoming the medical lead on the birthing. This tightens the community and makes them more centered to each other cause now they can all relate to something that happened on the trip that was intense. This also brings more in common with Peacock the whiskey salesmen because he’s a father of five wanting to get back to his family in Kansas and has been through raising children and birthing many times. His wisdom and kindness to the situation brings him to have more of a fatherly figure stance. Lastly in the movie they all are attacked by the apache’s kinda how their all attacked in a way by the original western town they came from, because of drinking, pregnancy, prostitution, crime, embezzling, gambling. “Two people save from civilization”, like Doc Boone said although it’s kinda like almost all of them were making them the center of the
The changes of all of these characters was highly important in terms of the plot of the movie. The film shows how all these completely different people changed so they could come together and fight for a cause that they all believed in, and it shows how they underwent that change. This shows us how it is possible for people to come together, no matter how different they are, and fight as one for a cause they all truly believe in.
There were not many major characters in this movie, but all played an important roll to the subject matter. Jimmy Morris was the main character, a young man, about 30 years old with a wife, three children, and a career as a chemistry high school teacher and baseball coach. His high school baseball team was the inspiration to him helping to achieve his goal of wanting to be a major league baseball player. Lori Morris, Jimmy’s wife, Hunter was his only young son who adored his father, and two young daughters Jessica, and Jamie. Jimmy’s father who was a military man played a minor part in the movie but, was the reason for a major controversy in the main character’s life.
I think the directors wanted to express through this film on how to move forward in America by looking at the actual facts of how it started. The key issue discussed in this film was how slavery was headed to freedom at an early point of time until it hit a “downward spiral" that lasted for over 200 years and continue its spiral into different ways (such as segregation, racism) to Africans or Black Americans. The theme of this film is to look deeper at the facts and understand the true history. The film chose this specific theme and issue because it shows what is wrong with how America teaches the history in grade schools. This is because throughout grade school I was taught to look up to men like George Washington as he was the first president and did so much for the country. Or Christopher Columbus a man I was taught in grade school who “discovered America". It wasn't until in college they start teaching the true facts behind all these “great men ". I now know of the people that created the infrastructures before George Washington's time. I learned that Columbus didn't discover America because there were people already on this land and all he did was cause pain towards Native Americans. This film not only shines a light on the truth, but it tells us to seek the truth and not give in what is told to

The main theme in the film is that of transition, the change from the traditional silent films to a scene where there was sound in the movies is introduced. Don who plays the role of Gene Kelly intends the movie to be a talkie; Don who has a great voice is intended to play the main task. However, the screening is not as good as they intend. Thus there is a second transition where the Don ends up making the film musical. In the film, he sings and dances much better than he talks.
The movie is all about the Joad family and their pursuit to find the American dream. They are a very poor family who lives during the great depression. They decide to leave their home that gets demolished and move to California in order to hopefully get some work, make some money, and eventually one day own land of their own again. The main themes of this movie were the pursuit of the American dream, and how it can be completely different depending on the people. The Joad family when compared to Jay Gatsby or The Buchanan family. They did not want everything, they just wanted to be fed and have a place to call their
All the character in the story symbolize something but the ones that standed out the most were Jay Gatsby and Daisy. They are the main characters of the story and they represent something true about being wealthy. They both kinda have the same symbolize the same thing in way. The strange thing about it is that in the story they had a thing for each other.
The Great Gatsby explores themes of love, social changes, and irony, creating an image of the Golden Twenties that has been described as the tale of the American Dream. Although there was glamour in the party scene, it was highly impersonal. The characters in the movie seemed as if they were trying to mimic the ones in the book. The characters in the movie didn't really bring their personalities to life.
Alistair Deacon from As Time Goes By once said that, “The people in the book need to be people.” The main character in a story or in a play always has to be somewhat likeable or relatable. Who doesn’t like to feel like they can relate to their favorite character in a story? In many cases the authors of stories or books always try to make the reader feel like they are not the only ones with problems or going through a crazy situation. Wanting the reader to become engaged in the characters' conflicts is what they aim for. In Arthur Miller’s play, Death of a Salesman, many people were gripped by Willy Loman’s, the main character, problems because they too struggle with many of the conflicts that Willy faces. Willy could not keep his life together, failing to see reality and pursuing the wrong dream, with a wrong viewpoint, ended up causing others around him and himself to hurt.
Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy were people from history that did some good for this country. Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy have very much in common, yet they also have things that are different things also. They were both people from the past that did so many things and that had to go through so much. While Abraham Lincoln did things that are very common with John. F Kennedy, yet they also did different stuff in their own way to be successful.
There are three main characters in this film. The first is Andy Dufresne. He starts off as being the newbie who is thought to be the weakest of the bunch but turns out actually to be one of, if not the strongest characters in the film. Andy adds tension because the audience expect him to be the new guy. When it turns out he isn’t, a whole new impact is put on the film.
The timing of this film was a significant factor in the story line. In the middle of the Great Depression unemployment and poverty were a major
