After watching the movie Spartacus (1960) and doing some research I found the movie to be both historical accurate and inaccurate. But I’m not going to nitpick the hole movie instead I would like to talk about some of the major details that are fairly well known; like how the Roman army fought in battle.

McFarland is a movie based on Coach Jim White‚ a track coach. It showed him as he created‚ then coached the McFarland Cougar’s cross country team to victory.

Deaf Culture Film Analysis 1) I personally found the film on deaf culture extremely interesting because it made the deaf community easier to understand by portraying people who are deaf simply as people of a different culture‚ and showed the deaf as real human beings who have opinions and deserve rights which is important because we live in such a hearing dominated society in which our world is filled with so many misconceptions about the deaf. I enjoyed the film because it gave me a deeper understanding

Two documentaries take a stance in the debate about food‚ Farmland represents the humble farmer working daily to be a caretaker for the ecology of the farmland. The other film is Food Inc. which marches through various industries to reveal the corporate side of food production and examine practices that consumers may object to.

Many of these studios are around today such as Warner Brothers‚ MGM‚ and Universal Pictures. Most of the studio’s longevity was based off of their involvement during the height of the studio era commonly referred to as the “Golden Age of Hollywood.” Throughout this essay I will decipher a film from 1930 to 1952 and discuss the major
