There's no one who did a bad job, but my favorite actor was Brad Pitt. Brad Pitt ( Gerry Lane) was the main character in the movie. He was the one who had to find a way to slow down or stop the zombie infection from spreading. He was my favorite, because whatever scene he was in, he acted like it was actually happening. There were three kids in the movie, Gerry's two daughters and a twelve year old boy who saves Gerry. The oldest of the sisters has asthma, this caused more problems throughout the movie for Gerry.

    World War Z was written by Max Brooks and published in 2007. Max has two other books that are also about surviving a zombie apocalypse. The general maxim about zombie apocalypse books is that they are for pure entertainment; however, his books carry hidden messages that pertain to modern society. World War Z is an exceptional book of entertainment and knowledge. The book was created into a motion picture starring Brad Pitt because of the much kudos that Max Brooks received from readers.

    One of the main products of this movie that popped out to me was the stars. They all seemed to be great actors even though I only knew one of them. For example, I thought that Ian Michael Smith did a great job portraying Simon Birch. He made the movie cute and funny all at once. I also thought that Joseph Mazello did a great job portraying relatable feelings in the movie. You could tell by his facial expressions what his mood was. All the actors did a great job and I can’t pinpoint one of them who did worse than the

  • Movie Analysis: Critical Analysis Of Racis And Dr. Gallo

    My favorite character in the movie is Dr. Francis; the reason being that he had the public’s best interest at heart and cared for those suffering from the virus. He could care less about the fame of discovering the virus, he just wanted to what was right for society, prevent the virus from killing hundreds of people, and educate society. Furthermore, one of my favorite moments of the movie was when the CDC stated that the virus wasn’t a political issue, nor a gay issue, it was a health and human issue, because from that moment on society began to work as a group to help find the cause of the unknown virus. On the other hand, my least favorite moment was seeing how so many people were affected and died from the virus. Additionally, my least favorite character was Gallo because he didn’t have the publics best interest at heart. He was more concerned with the fame and taking all the credit than putting an end to the outbreak. For instance, during a scene in the movie, Francis told Gallo that it should be them against the virus not them against each other. Moreover, I thought the patient that was case zero was selfish and wasn’t taking the virus seriously. He didn’t care to tell the people that he was having sexual intercourse with that he might have been infected. In fact, he continued with his sexual practices, knowing that he could be putting others at risk. During a segment of the movie, Bill, from the CDC, shows how up to forty-five cases of infected patients had been

    Throughout World War Z by Max Brooks, readers can see how the apocalypse begins. Some of these mistakes can be considered individual human error, but overall can be seen as the government failing to serve its purpose. For example, early in the book, China first discovered that there was a newfound disease starting to spread. Instead of taking the responsibility for this disease, they shrugged it off and redirected other countries attentions. This caused the disease to start as a small outbreak and eventually multiplied. This failure in government can be seen as somewhat of a selfish act in order to preserve the country’s secrecy. Because they did not take the initiative to tell anyone else about the disease, people were unable to take caution and prevent themselves from contracting the plague. Similar to the book Blindness, nobody understood that the disease was amongst them at first. People were suddenly beginning to go blind with many unanswered questions. However, there was never any real truth to be revealed to the citizens in Blindness as there was in World War Z.

    The cast of the movie was sensational. Playing the main character was famous musician and actor, Ice Cube. He is such a serious person that at first I was skeptical of his performance in a comedy. He has played in such movies as Dangerous Ground, Higher Learning, and Boyz 'N Tha Hood. Playing opposite of him was Chris Tucker who is one of the most gifted performers that I've have seen. He has stared in hits such as Rush Hour, The Fifth Element, and Money Talks. These two along with other big comics like Bernie Mac, John Whitherspoon, and Fazion Love bring big laughs to the big screen. Tiny "Zeus" Lester, Nia Long and Regina King do there part as well, to serve up laughs. It is so important to have a good cast that can play their parts well, and get along. If I watch a movie and it is evident that the actors are acting, then I lose interest very quickly. These actors and actresses did a very good job of making every character believable.

  • Night Of The Living Dead Research Paper

    1767 Words  | 4 Pages

    A zombie is a monster that has been a horror movie legacy for many years now. Zombie is defined as “a dead person who is able to move because of magic according to some religions and in stories, movies, etc.” Zombies haven’t always been the creature that we see today though. George A. Romero merged the old-forgotten zombie into the standardized version we see today. James Conroy writes, “With his 1968 film Night of the Living Dead, George Romero brought the concept of the slow-moving, flesh-eating zombie into mainstream American culture.” (1) Night of the Living Dead not only set an iconic image for zombies, but it also brought issues you would not normally see in a Zombie film, dealing with race and gender stereotypes.

    By far my favorite is the Hermit played brilliantly in a wordless performance by Jim Carry. He’s the most fascinating character and tragic character. He gives an entirely physical performance. You get a real sense of a fully formed character through the performance. Suki Waterhouse plays the films heroine. Like a lot of the characters in the film, she’s complicated. You feel bad for her because in the beginning of the film her arm and leg get cut off but on the other hand you can’t justify her actions. Strangely the character that might have the most dialogue is the character that doesn’t have that much screen time, Keanu Reeves is great as The Dream. In any other film he would be the bad guy, but he’s actually the best character on a moral level. He does not eat or kill people like some of the other characters. Jason Momoa plays one of the bodybuilding cannibals named Miami Man. Like Suki Waterhouse he’s a complicated character. In one scene he’s a good father and the next he’s eating someone. He’s very much the stoic badass type in this

    Imagine, it's 1939 and you're sitting at home with your family when you hear screaming outside, you open the door to see what is going on and, BANG! your dead. On September 1, 1939 less than one year after the Munich Agreement, Adolf Hitler invaded Poland. His goal was to eliminate all of the Jews. Britain and France promised to help Poland but Britain was too far away for their Air Force to help and France was too afraid to help because they were afraid of the Germans. Poland had very little Navy and Air Force to fight the Germans. Poland was also invaded by the Soviet Union at the same time so their military was too small to fight the Germans and the Soviet Union. The Warsaw was taken over on September 27, and organized resistance was over by October 5(O'Neill 268). This invasion started World War II. France, Russia, England, and the United States formed what was called the Allied forces to fight against the Nazis. Germany joined with Italy and Japan and they were the Axis alliance to fight against the Allied forces (Strahinich 16-17).

    2146 Words  | 5 Pages

    The Second World War began in September of 1939 and was between the Allies and the Axis. It began with Germany’s unprovoked attack and conquest of Poland, and involved Britain and France from the beginning. Its origins lay in German resentment at the terms of the Treaty of Versailles (1919), the economic crisis of 1929-30, which favored the rise to power of Fascist dictators, the failure of the League of Nations to gain international acceptance for disarmament, and the policy of imperialism adopted by Germany, Italy and Japan as a means of acquiring raw materials and markets. As a part of the Treaty of Versailles, Germany had to accept full responsibility for the First World War, which then led up to the outbreak of the Second. The reparations chapter of the Treaty of Versailles was universally condemned in Germany. Article 231, a proclamation of German guilt, had been inserted to establish Germany’s moral responsibility for the war and, therefore, her legal responsibility for all damage to property and persons and was disliked because of the War Guilt clause it contained. Germany, prepared for military conquest by Hitler, remilitarized the Rhineland in violation of the Locarno Pact. The League of Nations failed to react firmly either to this or to the conquest of Ethiopia by Italy under Mussolini. The Second World War was indeed one of the greatest conflicts in history. What started out as a European struggle, soon emerged to the level of worldwide warfare. The Prime Minister of England, Winston Churchill, American President, Franklin Roosevelt and Russian leader, Joseph Stalin were just a few of the leaderships that tried to bring their nations to victory. Although they all could not have “won” the war, these particular three men worked together to form an outstanding alliance system.

  • Commentary of The Book and Film: World War Z

    929 Words  | 2 Pages

    I had never intended to read World War Z before this class began. In fact, I did not realize there was a text version in addition to the film version. This collection of personal stories from different aspects of the zombie wars was a mixed bag for me. There were some recollections that pulled on my heartstrings, and others that I could have gone without ever reading. In times of great turmoil, people are shown to be exactly who they are, their true colors shining through all of the masks and deception they have created. The entire world lived in fear during the time period of this novel, and watching their loved ones disappear or become part of the army of the undead had to be terrifying. The author might have chosen this topic because the threat of zombies invading the world is a fear that is as real to some as the war overseas is to others.

    I liked the way Mary Elizabeth Winstead who played Wendy took her part so seriously and you could actually feel the fear she had after her premonition. Also Kris Lemche who played Ian McKinley acted the scene where they was at ‘build it’ really well because he was throwing everything Wendy says right back at her. When she tells him about ‘deaths design’ he then replies with “Ok. Ok, what if, for example, the last in line were to make the utilitarian choice. Kill themselves. Well, wow, that's pretty much gonna ruin any plan deaths put in motion. And even better, I think that's gonna save, five skipped lives. Any takers?” He says it so seriously that it made me think he was a bit tapped in the head.
