Have you ever wondered what it would be like to fly in space or work on the crew at NASA that helps the astronauts get home safely? These two jobs both use many of the laws of physics. In fact, almost everything they do involves physics. Apollo 13 is a movie that epitomizes what those jobs are like and how much physics is required. The three main laws of physics in the movie were Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation, Newton’s First Law, and Newton’s Third Law.

In the film ‘Crash’ directed by Paul Haggis in 2004, several lives cross paths because of an adage, ‘it’s a small world’. The characters come from different backgrounds and social class, consequently, there is an underlying tone of race, which is a cause for concern. In today’s current tension infested race topic, stereotypes tend to push the notion that one’s perception of race, gender and class must be the reality. The question becomes, where does an individual develop these notions and perceptions, furthermore, does the blame belong to media and film. The movie ‘Crash’, nominated for over 100 awards and won 3 Oscars; impeccably depicted the intertwining of gender, race and social class that one would assume that the movie’s a depiction

The movie “Gravity” starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney was about a medical engineer Dr.Ryan Stone(Sandra Bullock) on her first shuttle mission with her commander Matt Kowalsky(George Clooney) and it is his last flight to space before his retirement.

Until only one of them can survive and that one is Ryan.Matt floats off to space with little oxygen and eventually dies. Ryan is left all alone, she is running out of oxygen and the shuttle of fuel. She soon realizes that it is time to go home, the shuttle goes through

The movie Before Night Falls directed by Julian Schnabel offers viewers a glimpse of how the homosexual community in Cuba was being mistreated under Fidel Castro’s regime. The true story is told in the eyes of Cuban poet Reinaldo Arenas. The film depicts Arenas life in Cuba and all of the awful experiences that he had to deal with as a homosexual. Eventually he was arrested for false accusations of being a molester, however, he was actually under arrest for being a homosexual. Between the 1930s and 1990s, the Communist Cuba was abusive to the LGBT community as shown in their actions of harassment towards homosexuals, imprisoning the homosexuals, or sending them to re-education camps.

The general and widespread acceptance of Sir Isaac Newton’s models and laws may often be taken for granted, but this has not always been so. Throughout history, scientists and philosophers have built on each other’s theories to create improved and often revolutionary models. Although Newton was neither the first nor the last to bring major innovations to society, he was one of the most notable ones; many of his contributions are still in use today. With the formulation of his laws of motion, Sir Isaac Newton contributed to the downfall of Aristotelianism and provided a universal quantitative system for approximating and explaining a wide range of phenomena of space and the physics of motion, revolutionizing the study and understanding

When you educate a young girl, she has fewer children, she takes better care of her children, she marries at an older age, and she also contributes to her country's economy. Therefore, why is the education of women so greatly underestimated in many parts of the world? This is a question that has caused many individuals to take action against the act of prohibiting a woman the right of receiving an education. To begin with, education enables parents, and the rest of society, to see the value of a girl. As stated in the film Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide, "Educate a girl, and she can change the world around her." Education acts as a safe haven for many young women and as an opportunity of having an advancement

Interstellar is one of my favorite films of all time. It's a bit different for a Christopher Nolan film, in that, it wraps up everything with no loose ends or ambiguous conclusions. Yet something about it kept it in my head long after the credits rolled. Maybe it was the Hans Zimmer's wonderful soundtrack. Or Nolan's masterful directing. Or the cast of amazing performances. Whatever the reason Interstellar stands out as one of the best Si-Fi films out there. So for Christopher Nolan and his team, how do you follow up a movie like Interstellar?

Shoot the Moon Shoot the Moon is a movie about a married couple struggling in their marriage and through the process of divorce. Faith (Diane Keaton) and George (Albert Finny) are a liberal-minded couple who carry-out very traditional roles. George and Faith are distant emotionally, physically and communication between the two is very sparse. The movie begins by George appearing to have inner-turmoil about leaving his wife to be with his mistress.

The appeal to ignorance is the fallacy I chose to use and compare to scenes from the movie I am writing my paper on, titled “Under the Same Moon.” The definition for appeal to ignorance, found on Wikipedia.org is, “An argument from ignorance, also known as the appeal to ignorance, is a fallacy in informal logic. It asserts that a proposition is true because it has not yet been proved false.” An example in which the appeal to ignorance is applied is the argument such as, “There is no proof god exists, therefore god does not exist.” This is an argument in which someone completely denies a something because it has yet to be proven. Another similar example is, “The class has no questions about what was covered in class, therefore the class is

"Gravity" is a film in which the main character changes, this film is directed by Alfonso Cuaron, is about Dr. Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock), who is in space on a mission but she has to face many obstacles during the movie and the director, Alfonso Cuaron says that for him it is a "drama about a woman in space" and it is an Oscar winning movie for visual effects, sounds, film editing and directing. The protagonist Dr. Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) is an engineer-astronaut and Matt Kowalski (George Clooney), he's an astronaut as well and the commander of this mission. In this essay, the main themes that I'm going to discuss are the danger of space, loneliness, the effect of loss and survival. The plot unfolds with our two main characters in space.

Giant is a serious picture about accepting the differences of others, be they outsiders, members of one's own culture, or even members of one's own family. It reflects social concerns in America at the time as well as predicting, in a way, the challenges of the civil rights movement to come. The film also contains the idea that people who have prejudices must change to accept and respect others, regardless of their race, background, and circumstances.

The movie Falling Down portrays many examples of the movie reflecting, influencing, and changing society. The movie reflects society's many flaws such as inflation of prices and unneeded budget spending. The movie also influences others to point out society’s flaws by using force. Finally, the movie changes society by showing the movie in the point of view of a person that is classified as a realist.

Isaac Newton was the first person to realize that “the force that makes objects fall to the ground is also the force that Keeps the planets in their orbits around the sun” (Lafferty, 32). As we’re learned in science, gravity is what makes our planet and others more around the sun. But, gravity also is a part of what makes a ball drop to the ground (Mullins, 11). Newton’s first law of motion says, “Any moving object maintains its velocity (speed and direction) on less a force (a push or pull) is applied to it” (Gardener, 33).

The video that is linked above is the eulogy speech scene from the 1998 film Without Limits, which follows the running career of Steve Prefontaine. Prefontaine was an Oregonian and a distance runner, and one of the famous names that can claim credit for the running boom in the 1960’s and 1970’s. He at one time held 7 American records, all in long distance events from 2,000 to 10,000 meters. His short career peaked with his appearance at the 1972 Olympics in Munich, where he placed fourth, though he might have won if not for his front-running strategy. In the world of distance running, leading a race is not advised in the least, since the leader tends put forth a monstrous amount of energy compared to that or other runners. This strain on the leader’s strength tends to destroy them in the end, as they are usually passed in the final stretch of the race, if not before. Predictably, most runners prefer to draft than to lead. This is because it does not compel the drafting runner to push themselves, as they may just wait and dust their competition with a swift final kick. Prefontaine despised this running strategy, and many believe that is the reason why he failed achieve a medal in Munich. Had he lived long enough to see another Olympics, he might well have become the best in the world at the 5,000-meter distance. Unfortunately, Prefontaine died on May 30th, 1975 when he flipped his car after a night of drinking. He only lived to be 24. Yet his running style and
