When I started making films I made a promise to myself and an investment in my future. I don’t ever want to repeat myself, I don’t want to continue stories or repeat genres. The promise I made had been intended to exercise myself, while I have accomplished a breadth of unique shorts and may be in a position to expand upon my finest works and Ideas I want to fulfill one of my new idea that I've been chasing for some time.
My concept for the ten-minute film is essentially a meditation on what it means to be a being. At its core, the movie will play with the thought that every being is the center of its own universe. We as people, the most community and language driven beings in all known existence are as trapped behind the walls of our own individual flesh as much as any other being. We urge to reach beyond our worlds and touch another, whether we're driven by love or passion to explore. We all die alone, a concept irrelevant to a less social existence. The concept of the lonely universe of our owns life perspective is a big concept big enough for a feature and probably too big for a short but before I explain how it will work let me first expand upon this problem by

Soldiers at the Alamo defended the fort knowing they would forfeit their lives for a loss despite haven the chance to exit. Many examples by soldiers throughout history brings up the question of what motivates a decision that leads to a certainty of exstegwished being. Parents sacrifice for children, slaves worked the cotton fields when they could have rioted, modern Americans accept a certain level of political and corporate corruption, American society allows for privatized incarceration. Why do humans consistently rationalize their own personal harm, how can we ever rationalize given that our universe we live in is a lonely one occupied by only ourselves? Why do we sacrifice for people or ideas if we always die

When life is hard,never give up on what you want because in the long run,it will pay off. At the Battle of the Alamo,Mexico and Texas fearfully fought a 7 tough day battle. While Texas fought for there freedom,Mexico wanted to conquer Texas for its own so they could become better and tougher than ever. Even though Texas lost this battle,they never gave up and came back more robust as ever at the Battle of San Jacinto.
Everyone knows what the Alamo is and most know the story of it, how the Texans, led by William Travis, James Bowie, and Davie Crocket, had to try and fend off the Mexican soldiers led by Santa Anna. Being outnumbered all the Texans rebels had to fight for was for the pride of Texas and that is what they did and from that some famous myths about certain things were created during the fight like Travis’s line in the sand or Davie Crockets willingness to fight to the death. Randy Roberts and James S. Olson are able to relate the well-known story of the Alamo to the readers and really get into both the Mexican and American perspectives. In “A Line in the Sand the Alamo in Blood and Memory”, Roberts and Olson are able to separate what really happened

The three movies – Platoon, Full Metal Jacket, and The Green Berets – are all movies based on the same historical event – the Vietnam war and US’s involvement in it. Yet, they all presented us with different and narrative point of view and authority figures in order to paint their individual values. The movies’ most obvious differences lie within the choice of their narrative point of view. The Green Beret, the earliest one, was directed by John Wayne and he also starred in the leading role. Wayne’s authority and influence in the 1960s was similar to the influence of Tom Hanks in the 21st Century.
Their life on the war was pretty traumatic. Although, they aren't always tense and on guard like other movies. Just like the movie's name, the bond between one soldier and the other are like brothers'. It is really hard to imagine to see someone we're close with die everyday, just like what the soldiers experience. You would never know when there will be an attack, fear will be your best friend.
All Quiet on the Western Front tells the story of Paul Baumer, a German young man who is drafted into the army with some of his high school friends. Unfortunately, he and his friends have unrealistic ideas about what they are going to face while serving. The movie shows the tragedy of war through the emotional connection characters have, and focuses on the experiences had by the newly enlisted group of friends. I both enjoyed and did not enjoy the movie All Quiet on the Western Front. The parts that I enjoyed included the detail and historical accuracy which could be lined up with the information we have been learning in class.
In many historical war films, the directors attempt to represent the war as it was taken place in the real world. In the film, Flags of our Fathers, real events are represented throughout the entire film. The director of the film, Clint Eastwood, depicted three soldiers, John Doc Bradley, Rene Gagnon, and Ira Hayes, who were praised to be heroes from a photograph. Joe Rosenthal captured this most famous photograph in history during the Second World War, at the Battle of Iwo Jima. After having a look at this photo, the American citizens found it as a big accomplishment for the army, and the government took this as an advantage to send the flag raising survivors on war bond drive based on propaganda, knowing that the war needed lots of added
One of the most significant conflicts little known in history is the Battle of San Jacinto and is considered the most critical dispute of the Texas Revolution (Williams, 2014). On April 21, 1836, General Sam Houston launched a surprise attack against the Mexican army. The event took place near present day Houston, Texas and only lasted a total of eighteen minutes. The Mexican army was led by General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna. The Texans thoroughly routed the superior Mexican force at the Battle of San Jacinto and captured hundreds of Mexican soldiers including Santa Anna.

Lance Gross, he acts as her high school sweetheart and her husband. There is the Kim Kardashian who played Ava, Vanessa Williams as Janice, Judith's boss.
The movie sends out a positive and influential message to those who aren't confident in
How does this film portray stereotypes and fears? How does technology play a role in the film, and what does it all mean? As cliché as it may sound, the underlying theme of this movie is greed. Not just financial greed, but greed in pride and the greed one may have for knowledge.
Films are a great way of communicating a message to the viewers. One of the most controversial topics conveyed is politics and for this reason, Mr Smith Goes to Washington is a movie that explores the American political system through the life of Senator Jefferson Smith a newly elected politician. He comes out as a radical after realising that he cannot serve the interest of those who elected him to the government. The director of the film explores a radical sense ideological spectrum through a character who maintains integrity in the midst of harsh criticism in the political system. The director is radical trying to anger the political class and then win acclaim from the public.
The Patriot Sadness, hope, war and freedom The movie’s name is “The Patriot”. Mel Gibson plays the role of Benjamin Martin who is an American farmer in the 1800th century. Benjamin has the lead role in this movie. There are a lot of characters in the movie such as his son Gabriel (Heath Ledger) and his six other siblings.
In the film 12 Years a Slave the editor, Joe Walker, makes use of a couple of techniques and styles that adds to the film in its own way. Long shots – Joe kept the long shots as long as he thought was necessary to add to the subject matter and the feeling he wanted to bind with the story. At the end of the film there’s this extremely long shot where Solomon is practically staring at the camera for about a minute and a half. The timing of that shot is so perfect because it’s not too short so you don’t have enough time to think about what just happened or too much time to overthink the situation. Closer to the end of the shot he lets the sound fade slowly and rapidly gives you a wakeup call when the next shot starts off where Solomon and the rest of the slaves are busy working in the field.
