The movies that I liked the best was Unbroken,Black Hawk Down,The Patriot,
Gladiator. I liked these movies the most because all interested me. The one like I liked the most out of all of these was Unbroken, because it was over a true story. Then my next favorite movie would have had to be The Patriot because it showed us about the war in that time period. It I had to choose three of the movies that I have learned from this semester I would say that my three movies is Unbroken, Apollo 13, and Selma.

Then when they start to charge, and the Fort Wagner troops begin to shoot cannons at the 54th. The cannons are so powerful men start dropping like flies.

    Black Hawk Down

    This is a movie about the Battle of Mogadishu or commonly known as Black Hawk down. It started on the 3rd of October with what was supposed to be a quick “snatch and grab” operation. The operation was only to last thirty minutes. Under the command of Capt. Mike Steele they were to insert soldiers to capture two top lieutenants of a warlord Mohamed Farrrah Aidid. Things went terribly wrong when a black hawk was shot down by an RPG (rocket propelled grenade). It then became a rescue mission to save the soldiers from the crash site. The next thing they knew there were hundreds of Somali gunmen. They were now fighting for their lives. In the process of fighting their way to the crash site another black hawk was shot down. Now Rangers and Delta Force were fighting their way to two crash sites. In the process they secure the first crash site and are blocked in almost every direction. At a certain point in time two Delta Force snipers volunteered to cover the second crash site until a convoy could help get the downed pilot CW4 Michael Durant and in turn gave their lives defending him. They fought through the night facing thousands of militia, women and children. On the morning of the second day they secured the second crash site while the pilot CW4 Durant was captured. Then was the move to get out of the city alive. A convoy made up of UN and 10th Mountain Div. were to extract the injured soldiers. With not enough room in the vehicles the remaining soldiers had to get out of the city on foot. Running through the city running low on ammunition and energy they made it to the stadium in the UN Safe Zone.…

    Dane Zamperini In Unbroken

    In the movie Unbroken, there were many life challenges to be faced and the main character, Louie Zamperini, was the one who had to face most of the difficult challenges. Louie was a very tough man not only mentally but physically in some ways. The way he dealt with everything so positively even if it had been a bad situation, showed in the end how willing he was to overcome things. Therefore Louie was known for having an “Unbroken” spirit. Louie started out in the war at a very young age, he was faced with many unruly and painful situations, for example when he had to go to the camps with all the other soldiers and he was beat by the Chinese camp mentor many times, he never gave up.…

    Boyz-In-Hood Analysis

    Off the top of my head, one movie that had a impact on me was Boyz-In-Da-Hood. The film was about a young man who had made an agreement with his mom...that if he kept getting in trouble he had to go live with his dad. Upon living with his father, he was exposed to things he didn't see living with his mother. His father was quite the intelligent man, and was able to keep him out of trouble. Some of the lessons his father taught him stuck with me to this day about how to be leader, He spoke on Gentrification in a clip in the film.

    Unbroken By Laura Hillenbrand: Movie Analysis

    Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand recounts Louis Zamperini’s struggles in early-life, the Pacific Theater, and post-war life, as well as his persistence to triumph over such obstacles. Hillenbrand’s novel has also become a major motion picture, which also goes by the same name. Although, both the film and novel contain key struggles that Louis had to overcome, the film focuses more on Louis’ experience while the novel delves deep into Zamperini’s story and takes into consideration many of his friends and foes.…

    Disney's Cinderella Analysis

    Films that I particularly favor are thrillers. One reason Thrillers become so enjoyable for me, a sense of diversion is created making the viewers more indulge in the movie all the way to the ending. The plots are usually twisted, climatic, suspenseful and intelligence is often use far as the writing perspective to result in an ecliptic viewing of the movie. A really great thriller will usually bring a shock factor by the climax, then the movie will receive a better understanding from the beginning to end. Another genre of films I enjoy are Musicals they are fashionable and express emotions through singing. I am really into lyricism so I enjoy comparing the actual expression of the each character's individual story and the progression…

    Good Will Hunting and the Catcher in the Rye

    In both the Gus Van Sant directed film Good Will Hunting and J.D. Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye, the antagonists are trying to find the true value of life. While the film is not by any means the visual for the novel, the two are often compared most typically because of the antagonists. Both Holden Caulfield and Will Hunting are both capable of exceeding in the world, but their cruel living styles act as setbacks to whatever beholds in their respective futures. Fortunately for both of them, there are people who show compassion toward them and understand their complexities and also want to help them succeed in life because they find potential in them.…

    Forrest Gump Movie Analysis

    I choose Forrest Gump as a historical movie. The movie was about a young man with a mental disability that goes through this major event in the 1960 – 1970s not only that but it was kind of romantic. Though out the entire movie, Forrest seems to be going along with the time line in his life looking for his first true love Jenny. Mean while she is living it out as a hippie tagging along with the wrong crowd and as for Forrest he maintains hope that one day she will love him. Not only that but the events that he lived in leads him to become a war hero and a billionaire. In the end he realize that life keeps on going as a “destiny or floating alike a breeze”.…
