Mainly, the narrative follows Jyn and a team of rebels set to retrieve the plans for the Galactic Empire’s ‘Ultimate weapon’ called the Death Star that has the power to destroy an entire planet for the Rebel Alliance (Rogue One). In this manner, the film represents the general formula for a heroic venture. Although critics have referred to Jyn’s character as a weak lead since she

It was a cold autumn evening, colder than normal for Germany around this time. Franz looked at his pocket watch, it was about quarter after 11. The swastika was worn proudly on Franz’s left upper arm. He saw the animals within the barbed zoo, striped like zebras. Hanz was enjoying a piece of bread his wife prepared for him this morning, but his face had a look of discomfort. “Might I try a piece?” Franz asked politely. Hanz broke off a piece and handed to him. “Why this is delicious, how can you

The goal at the beginning of the movie was to go to the Rebel base with the information that Princess Leia gave to R2D2. This goal was met after they had escaped the Death Star and reached the base. Then another problem arose, the Death Star had tracked and followed them creating another problem from the rebel base. With the information in R2D2 they were able to find a way to destroy the Death Star. This is when the ultimate boon

Decades ago, in an epic “Beowulf”, Beowulf has slain the fire dragon, the creature that terrorized all the people who lived nearby where the dragon lives. The winter in Sweden was not as bleak as it was in mid 17th century. The blizzard was as disastrous as could be. The dragon’s body was covered in pure white snow on the pinnacle of the highest mountain. Not even the slightest bit of ice were melted through the rough skin of the fire dragon. Decades have passed, and out of a sudden, a bolt of arcane

A theme that has permeated throughout time, and even to contemporary epics is friendship. Friendship plays a powerful role throughout the original Star Wars trilogy and the Buffy the Vampire Slayer television series. Both of these tales involved friendships that had important implications in the story and reflected the cultures of the times in which these films were made. Whether it was a pre-existing friendship, one between their mentors, or just amongst the people the main character met in their

One of the most important friendships in Tolkien’s Fellowship of the Ring is the friendship between Samwise Gamgee who become pivotal to Frodo’s survival and Frodo Baggins. Tolkien creates through Sam a character in which Frodo can put his trust completely, and by doing so makes Sam one of the most important characters in the progression of the story. At the beginning of Frodo’s journey, there is the interaction between Sam and Frodo where Sam tells Frodo, “It’s just something Gandalf said... He

With that in tow, Han felt worse. Admittedly, things were looking a little bleak on his end but what else could he do? The reality was that he had put up a front again — and look where it got him. Inhaling deeply, Han decided to go with his proven, most effective method in communicating with anyone: get straight to the point, be blunt and be unambiguous as possible. Never once had it been a difficult concept for Han; at the same time, Han never once met someone like Luke Skywalker before. “So

Star Wars is a poor epic because its supernatural elements are unconvincing and mundane. In the beginning, lightsabers are talked about quite a few times as Obi-Wan Kenobi tries explaining them to Luke. Despite all the talk, they only use the weapon in battle once. The entire story leads up to the lightsaber fight between Darth Vader and Obi-Wan Kenobi and the viewers are left unsatisfied and in contempt after this battle. Instead the story focuses mainly on aircraft even though the lightsaber is

Star Wars vs. Star Trek The question has long been asked in the science fiction community: which is better - Star Wars or Star Trek? The answer is most definitely different depending on who you ask. Some fans might claim “the force” in Star Wars is better a better weapon than any Federation firearm out there.

In the usual, but artful style of the archetype art-house Taiwanese film, as filmmakers like Tsai Ming Liang, Hou Hsiao Hsen and Edward Yang established it, Thanatos, Drunk tells the dramatic story of three men and the role that alcohol and death (thanatos is the Greek word for death) play in their lives. Rat is a constantly drunk youth who makes a living by selling vegetables at the local market and petty crime. Eventually he meets a young mute prostitute and saves her from a violent client. His

13,952. That is the unbelievable amount of people who were killed in the siege of Sarajevo during the Bosnian War. Naturally, people were shocked when the Bosnian-Serbs began an unprecedented attack on the city of Sarajevo, capital of Bosnia-Herzegovina, as a result of starting an ethnic cleansing of Bosniaks (Bosnian Muslims, who are part of the monotheistic religion, Islam). Zlata Filipović, author of Zlata’s Diary, was a young girl unfortunately residing in Sarajevo on April 6, 1992, when the

Cultivation theory also known as Cultivation hypothesis it was originally proposed by G Gerber, but later expanded on by Geber and Gross, this theory proposes that when someone is exposed to the media for certain period of time the individual tends to view the world from the point of the media.

The tense battle between the triple entente and the triple alliance may have been blamed on Germany alone but really there are quite a few more details that came into play when starting this terrible fight. One little argument between two countries turned into a full out world war that ended with 38 million casualties The underlying causes of WWI include the forming of alliances across Europe, the quick ride in military and supplies, each country 's intense love for their nation, and the fast imperialization
