Film Analysis Of Guns, Germs, And Steel

The first movie which was entitled “Guns, Germs, and Steel” talks about how one land had so much advantage over the other. This already caught my attention and it got me thinking to the different possible answers to the statement. Why was indeed one land able to develop complex societies and civilizations over the others? Maybe it’s because people in those developing areas, like in the United States, were vastly educated, hence they were able to gain knowledge on how to manage things like plant and animal domestication for a much more stable food access and production. Food is the most basic need of humans, therefore once food is stable there is prosperity and development. However, my answer in mind is only partly true. The part of the movie

Unlike the first movie which talks about the geography of Earth, this movie talks the universe outside Earth. It revolves about Kepler’s passion for the geometry and astronomy. The most unforgettable parts that I remembered so well was when Kepler suddenly stops in the middle of his math lecture and had a vision of the Solar System from the geometry he has drawn for the class. In his vision, each of the six planets of the solar system was held by one of the perfect solids. By using the tools he have, he tries to create model of his vision and failed to do so because the solar system is not held by a perfect solid. As the movie goes on, Kepler finally achieved and unlocked some of the universe’s mysteries by the help of Tycho Brahe’s accurate planetary observations. As what the title would explain, the movie reveals how Kepler’s brilliant mind explained the harmony of the planets by planets by his planetary laws. The first law states that planets travel around the Sun in elliptical orbits with the Sun at one focus. The second law states that a line from the planet to the Sun sweeps out equal areas in equal times. The third law states that the square of a planet's period in years and its distance cubed are proportional. By applying these laws and calculating some examples, I was able to prove that indeed Kepler’s laws are true. Among all the three laws he created, the third one is what I like best because I can apply it and can easily relate to it. Although there is a little error in our theoretical calculations from the actual value of the cubed distance of a planet in a squared period the laws, the error is so small that it is considered as null. I l also noticed that during Kepler’s time, astronomy must really have great impact in the people’s lives because for they have named a disease and a calamity after one of the planets. Astronomy is the trend in his time
