Victory At Avalon Character Analysis

Films are necessary in our time period because the human eye can articulate the message intended through sight allowing visual imagination to occur. In the book, world 2 by Max Brooks, he creates a character by the name Roy Elliot who was a former movie director. Roy Elliot manages to make a movie titled “Victory at Avalon: The Battle of the Five Colleges” and some how it goes viral. Similarly, Frank Capra’s film, “Why we Fight” expresses a sense of understanding the meaning of wars. Films do not inevitably portray truth because they display what the film director views as important and beneficial for people to know.

Both victory at “Victory at Avalon” and “Why we Fight” were created to inform the population of what was happening during

that time period. “Victory at Avalon” was filmed in Claremont at the five colleges because “over the course of four month” three hundred students had managed to hold off ten thousand zombies. At the time of Elliot’s arrival the pupils and soldiers were fighting off the digital zombies and he managed to catch “ninety-six hours of raw footage.” The intended audience of this film was the people fighting because they were slowly giving up and desired to seize. In the same token, the “Why WE Fight” documentary was used as advertising during World War II and it was viewed as an invitation to recruit soldiers and a justification for involvement in the war. Both directors had an intended purpose that involved war. The central message underlying the “Victory of Avalon” was a call for action and a security of hope. Due to the Asymptomatic Demise Syndrome, “ a case of just giving up [and] not wanting to see tomorrow because [they] knew it could only bring suffering” caused many incident people to die. The film brought optimism that the zombies were being killed in great numbers and that prosperity was just around the corner. The effects that support the hopeful message are the decrease of the Apocalyptic Despair Syndrome because the cases dropped by fiver percent then again by twenty three percent. In addition, “Why We Fight” expressed to the viewers the significance of the United States’ involvement in the war. It shows the famous quote by Patrick Henry, “give me liberty or give me death”. The documentary’s purpose was a pursuit for freedom and the means by which the United States was accomplishing that goal.

All in all, deception is necessary at times to lure people into believing that they will be safe so they will continue to keep trying to survive and help the collective. Reality tends to shock individuals at times so films are created as a form of Pandora’s box that ignites the soul. The United States needed to intervene in World War II to aid the Europeans against Germany and allying was the only solution. In conclusion, depending on the perspective of the film people may receive a sense of encouragement or become depressed and will be willing to continue fighting or simply abandon the initial motivation for survival.
