Analysis Of The Movie ' Hawkeye ' By Robert E. Lee

At a very young age of eight, David Fincher’s passion for cinema grew when he was inspired by the movie Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969). Born in 1962 Denver, Colorado, David Fincher moved to Ashland, Oregon in his teens, where he graduated from Ashland High School. During high school, he directed plays, designed sets, and managed lighting after school. One summer, he and a friend attended the Berkley Film Institute’s summer program, where he hoped to learn film as a true art form but instead was taught the technical production. Either way he was happy to engage is this and as his early film industry career started, he was a production assistant at his local television news station. Years went by as he directed propaganda films followed by becoming a well-known music director until his first movie feature debut Aliens 3 in 1992. However, the American director David Fincher didn’t become a modern 21st century visionary until his creation of the film Se7en (1995). The huge success from this film started Fincher’s popularity in the film industry. From there he continued to make ironic movies we know today such as: Fight Club (1999), Zodiac (2007), The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008), The Social Network (2010), Gone Girl, and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

“War is hell, but that’s not the half of it, because war is also mystery and terror and adventure and courage and discovery and holiness and pity and despair and longing and love. War is nasty; war is fun. War is thrilling; war is drudgery. War makes you a man; war makes you dead.” (80)

The Patriot. A person who is willing to fight for their country against enemies. The Patriot begins in the year 1776 in the colony of South Carolina. Mel Gibson plays a planation farmer who fought in the French-Indian war named Benjamin Martin. A War was about to begin and Benjamin wanted no share partaking in the soon-to-be American Revolutionary War. He was more concerned about his two eldest sons who wanted to fight under General George Washington. The beginning of the movie starts out with Benjamin Martin peacefully living with his kids whom no longer have a living mother. Benjamin’s oldest son, Gabriel, joins the war without permission from his father. As the rest of the family are at home one afternoon, Colonel William Travington burns the Martin Plantation to the ground and his second oldest son was killed immediately for interrupting Travington’s plan. Benjamin finds a way to seek revenge because of the rage he experiences after his family is hurt. He begins to realize that he needs to fight for his children and he will not do it alone. Both Benjamin and his oldest son, Gabriel, decide to join the militia as a way of showing what they are capable of. Throughout the film, Benjamin Martin becomes a soldier whom others respect and admire. He shows the militia what it means to truly care for not only his men, but also for his family. As the film progresses, a turn of events take place that show Benjamin’s continued want of revenge against General Charles Cornwallis. The Continentals and the militia soon commence the battle at Cowpens. This is when Benjamin Martin meets his enemy, Travington, who murdered his two eldest sons. After a drawn-out battle, Benjamin stabs Travington in the neck and kills him for the sake of his children. It is then that General Cornwallis retreats his forces and the rest celebrate. Even though some portions of The Patriot aren’t as accurate as we perceive, it is a film full of war and despair, but also a film that contributes to the importance of dignity and the love for one’s family.

The last of the Mohicans is an adventure novel about Native American interactions with English, French, and frontier settlers during the French and the Indian war in 1757. The background of the novel is based on the French, and the British army who are fighting against each other and both have Indian allies to assist them. Nature, as itself, is introduced to the reader as a character among all the other characters which the author explains in good detail. Of all the characters in the novel, Hawkeye and Magua play an important role, Hawkeye as the hero who saves the day and Magua, as the villain whose appearance brings fear and terror to the reader. The story changes its pattern as soon as Magua appears on the scene and executes his evil ambition and plans.

Kindness is no doubt a virtue, yet in a state of conflict, it may be viewed as a hinderance as it is only possible for violence to exist when the idea of kindness is corrupted or eradicated. In Timothy Findley’s novel The Wars, the character of Robert Ross undergoes the transformation and corruption that embodies the effect of war on the human spirit. Initially, the idea of violence and conflict is viewed as a concept that is unthinkably cruel, yet as Ross personally experiences the cruelties and insane nature of war, violence becomes an act that is crucial to one’s survival but detrimental to one’s spirit. The only way Ross is able to preserve his humanity and his sense of justice, is through an enduring perception of hope and kindness in

In the short story Chickamauga the writer, Ambrose Bierce, uses his words to depict the gruesome reality of war and to put at rest the false dreams of heroism and glory that so often come packaged with war. Ambrose describes war as a “heritage” and that ordinarily one could not “curb the lust for war”. Describing the lust for war as being not able to be curbed makes it seem like an illness, unable to be stopped. The soldiers here are depicted as “desperate, stricken men” and are shown to be incapable of doing anything “naturally”. The soldiers being “desperate” and “stricken” are a direct result of their time at war. Similarly, Ambrose uses his words to discourage thoughts that battle is a glorious thing to partake in. The protagonist is “as

War is seen as a way for countries to gain power, but what about the people in it? For those people, war is a curse that causes regret, war is a curse that stays with someone even after the war, and war is a curse that makes someone do the unthinkable. One example how war is a curse is that it causes regret. In Ambush from The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brien, the story is about a veteran that faces his regret when his young daughter asks him if he has killed anyone. Later in the story he says, “Sometimes I forgive myself, other times I don’t. In the ordinary hours of life I try not to dwell on it, but now and then, when I’m reading a newspaper or just alone in a room, I’ll look up and see the young man coming out of the morning fog” (O’Brien 2).

James Fenimore Cooper’s book The Last of the Mohicans, takes place in the frontier of western New York during the French and Indian War. The book is about two daughters getting escorted to see their father, the hardships that come with it, and the events afterward. While telling the story, I will tell you about two characters and how they either changed or resisted change. The characters that I will discuss are David Gamut, who changed, and Cora Munro, who resisted change.

The Last of the Mohicans is a movie in which a young white man, who also happens to be adopted by a Mohican and his son, set out to save the two daughters of English leader, colonel Munro; who have been kidnapped. Along the way the men run into trouble when they come across a war between the French and the Indians.

On top of all of the chaos, Hawkeye believes that he has found love with one of the daughters of colonel Munro.

War forces young soldiers to grow up quickly. In Stephen Crane’s Civil War novel, The Red Badge of Courage, Henry Fleming is no exception. He is faced with the hard reality of war and this forces him to readjust his romantic beliefs about war. Through the novel, the reader can trace the growth and development of Henry through these four stages: (1) romanticizing war and the heroic role each soldier plays, (2) facing the realities of war, (3) lying to himself to maintain his self-importance, and (4) realistic awareness of his abilities and place in life. Through Henry’s experiences in his path to self-discovery, he is strongly affected by events that help shape his ideology of war, death,

Jamyra Thomas Ms. Draxl English 102 15 April 2017 Minorities can Achieve Academic Success In the short-stories, “Robert E. Lee Is Dead” and “Snakes” Caucasians view African-Americans, such as Crystal, and mixed-race people, such as Tara, as minorities. The main characters, Tara and Crystal, both undergo some form of racism, and it does not affect their dedication to achieve academic success. Gaining an education was a challenge for Tara and Crystal because of racial stereotypes; however, they decide to get a full education and not let society limit their academic ability. The racial stereotypes that Tara and Crystal experience inspire them to strive for more than society believes they can achieve.

James Fenimore Cooper's, The Last of the Mohicans is a novel about the racial divide between the Native American people and English colonists. Cooper suggests that interracial mingling is both desirable and dangerous for the characters of the novel. Cooper uses historical events, such as the unique friendship between Chingachgook, Uncas, and Hawkeye, the love affair of Cora and Uncas and the changing idea of family to demonstrate the idea that interracial relationships played a key role in unifying people from two very different societies.

Throughout James Fennimore Cooper’s novel The Last of the Mohicans a common theme of interracial friendship and love and the difficulty it takes to overcome such an obstacle, is shown strongly in the work. In the novel Cooper shows how the America people of European decent treat those that are native, by showing how negatively they treat the Native Americans. Chingachgook and Hawkeye have a friendship that is genuine and deep, bypassing the normal relationship between that of a white man and a Mohican Indian. Interracial love and romantic relationships are condemned in The Last of the Mohicans, for example when, Cora, the older daughter of Munro, is approached

The movie The Patriot takes place in South Carolina in 1776. The colonies were tired of paying taxes and all of this from England. They decided to go to war and fight for independence. This movie is mainly about how a farmer named Benjamin Franklin lived in South Carolina and the British brutally murdered his second oldest son right in front of his family then later the same person Col. Travingston kills Benjamin’s oldest son Gabriel. Due to this he joins the militia in order for justice of his sons. At first he wants nothing to do with it but once his sons were murdered he wanted revenge. The Patriot was about the American Revolution, the Patriot militia fighting against loyalists in the south. The film was mainly about Benjamin Martin’s family and fighting for liberty against England. They did show us about the war and them fighting in it but it was mainly about Martins’ life. They did show us them fighting in the war and how they would line up and fight in the war but they didn’t show us enough.

In Captain America: Civil War there is a very large problem that divides the Avengers. The issue is that the Avengers who have so far been checked only by their own moral codes and limitations are being asked to sign the Sokova Accords which would require the registration of heroes along with the subsequent monitoring and delegation of their actions. This is explained to the audience very well in the scene where the Avengers team as it stood then are talking about the accords and if they will sign them or not. The two sides of the movie are drawn here, with Steve Rogers/Captain America saying that the Avengers would then just become lackeys for the government who would them use them to further their own agendas, while Tony Stark/ Iron Man believes that signing the accords would benefit everyone and greatly increase the accountability of the Avengers. In short, this debate scene is introducing the theater audience to the issue and trying to get us to pick whether to support the accords or to not, this essay will analyze the appeals used by both parties.
