Analysis Of The Movie ' Lawrence Of Arabia '

In history many things have happened and there has been movies made to recreate things of the past. For example, the movie Jarhead by Sam Mendes, is a recreation of the Gulf War. Also Jarhead is about a Marine named Anthony Swofford who enlists as a Marine under a sadistic drill instructor.He then takes on a sniper class and by this time this is when the U.S. gets involved with the Gulf War. So he's sent to fight but never gets to shoot anyone and this gets him mad. But how accurate really is this movie?

The role of Bertrande de Rols in the film “The Return of Martin Guerre” is a firm representation of the way in which women of this time subscribed to clear gender norms. She was a dutiful wife who stayed behind while her husband went off to war and to travel the world. She was willing to submit to him (or Arnaud, the man who ended up being an imposter of Martin) and settle down to have children upon his return. And when it came time to stand up him, she played her role in that process too (even though it wasn’t her husband for whom she was initially testifying). She doesn’t have the leeway in which to create her own path in life, and seems to constantly bend to the whim of others. Bertrande is the quintessential example of how women throughout history kept the home fires burning while their men explored the world, and then were forced to take back whatever iterations of their mates they got back (which in this case, wasn’t even the same man).

The film and writing industry go hand in hand, as they often inspire one another. As a result, the translation of many novels into movie format and vice versa vary in success. For instance, many people prefer the film format over the novel since it is usually less time consuming and requires less active participation. However, films tend to overlook significant details which aid the viewer's understanding of the story. Therefore, the two separate forms of media have too many differences to portray the same work of fiction accurately, as they both have their strengths and weaknesses that appeal to different types of stories and plots. Numerous changes in the movie adaptation of the novel, A Separate Peace by John Knowles, affected the viewer’s

This film was extremely influential during a very crucial period in American history. It greatly influenced society’s impression of intervention during World War II, and it also impacted our standpoint on the interference in future foreign affairs as well. The movie led to a series of American intervention in several upcoming troublesome and demanding foreign conflicts and or struggles. America could no longer remain neutral and detached while other countries were crumbling at her feet. Justice and democracy had to be maintained and defended whether it was on our soil or our enemy’s. This film defends that objective and builds support for the United State’s new game plan for constructive meddling in foreign affairs. And as a result, our country would soon become the defender of justice for the entire world. For instance, this meddling came about during the Cold War.

Psychology 1077 Written Project Assignment By Mikhail Sidorenko The film that I have chosen to analyze is Dunkirk (2017). It visualizes the “miracle” evacuation of British and French forces during early 1940.

Lawrence of Arabia bolstered the Allied Powers through the capture of Damascus by reinforcing General Allenby’s forces and in the process he demonstrated his innovative leadership. Wanting to advance north against the Turks, Allenby required assistance from the Arabs to attack the Fourth Army of the Turks east of the Jordan River. “To accomplish that, Allenby needed Lawrence, who seemed to be the only person who could get the Arabs to fight in an organized way” (Korda 379). Considering Allenby’s request, Lawrence altered the proposed strategy to have the Arabs attack Ma’an and the southern railway. Instead, Lawrence believed it would be best to attack the railway from the north of Ma’an. (Korda 379). Furthermore, knowing that the Turks would

Conflict is something that cannot be avoided. There is always going to be a point in time where you would have to endure a conflict that can either make or break you. The film, Battle of Algiers, documents certain events that occurred during the Algerian War which lasted from 1954-1962. This film helped to display two types of conflict: intergroup conflict and power conflict. Intergroup conflict focuses on how groups interact with one another and how these groups are usually at odds with one another.

This film is definitely multidimensional in purpose. It was informative as to the historic events that took place yet motivational and celebratory in honoring our ability and capacity to dream. They did an excellent job of communicating this purpose. If we live “to die in the exercise of your passion”, that is a life well lived. This film had such profound moments of wisdom, passion and inspiration that I do not typically connect to in other

The film The Battle of Algiers followed Ali La Pointe in its attempt to recreate the conflict among the occupants of Algeria in the decade preceding the country’s independence. The battles fought in Algiers, as depicted in the film, were no case of Washington crossing the Delaware; there was no glory. The battles in Algiers were the struggles between the ubiquitous and the unseen; there was no brave heroes, only a series of terror. In writing this response, I hope to rationalize the murdering committed by the FLN and French paratroopers. While the former saw killing as their only grasp on hope, the latter saw it as a necessary evil.

It’s important to be able to recognize reliable sources to learn from and watching this movie is not a reliable source to be educated about The Battle of Thermopylae nor the groups of people it symbolized. It is a good movie just to enjoy because of the action and violence that many viewers like but it does give the correct facts of

The Battle of Algiers, directed by Gillo Pontecorvo, was released in 1967 and is a documentary regarding the post-war struggle of Algerian Nationalists to free themselves from French rule and the cruelty of the French to maintain their state of affairs. Between 1960 and 1970, there was a transition of black and white to color television broadcast worldwide and most directors showed their film in color; however, Pontecorvo keeps the black and white theme to enhance the documentary formulating a realistic feeling for the viewers. The film also masks the French brutality against the Algerians during the post-war. The film balances and connects these two themes through cinematic techniques to shroud what occurred during the revolution and capture

Important characters such as Sir William Wallace, Murran (actually named Marion), Robert the Bruce, Isabella of France, and more were all real people that the basis of Braveheart takes place around. Nonetheless, there were many inaccuracies. For example, it is believed that Wallace was born an aristocrat and had been knighted much earlier than the feature depicted. Marion and the hero did not, in actuality, meet until about the time that Marion aged 18. Robert the Bruce did not take advice from his dying father, but instead was motivated by “omens” such as that of a spider swinging from rafter to rafter. Isabella of France could never of had an affair or warn Wallace of anything due to the fact that at the time Braveheart takes place, Isabella was merely a toddler. Analyzing the events of the film indicate that Wallace did lead the rebellion against English rulers in 1296, win at Stirling Bridge, lose at Falkirk, was captured, tried and executed as depicted. However, there were many details of each place that were changed. For one example, the movie did not even have a bridge at the battle of Stirling Bridge. The setting of Scotland and England were as portrayed, but, as aforementioned, were over-exaggerated for the sole purpose of cinematic appeal. All in all, the historical value of this film is just above absolute trash, but that does not distract from the sheer perfection of this 5 star

The movie tells more of truth than fiction, therefore it is a good historical movie. The movie Hidden Figures portrays reality in many forms. The majority of the setting, time period, clothing, location, characters are real. The roles of the main three characters were true.

T.E. Lawrence demonstrated his innovative leadership by subverting the Ottomans through altering the strategic direction of the Arab Revolt and by depleting the Turkish defenses at Aqaba, therefore bolstering the Allied Powers. With his revolutionary approach to command, Lawrence bolstered the Allied Powers during the attack on Aqaba as he altered the strategy for the port. “In the early stages of the Revolt, British and French military advisers urged the Arabs to capture the Turkish stronghold at Medina and to cut definitively the [Hejaz] Railway which was the Turkish supply-line running south from Damascus to the [Hejaz]” (Wilson). Lawrence condemned the continuing practice, used by both his British superiors and the Arabs, of attacking the

The four films that we have watched are all centered around the theme that Africa has more than just a “single story”. Africa is full of diverse people from all kinds of backgrounds. While the Battle of Algiers, Sembene!, Welcome to Nollywood, and Timbuktu have shown many different stories, they have just barely scratched the surface of the millions of “single stories” that can be found in Africa. The Battle Algiers tells the story of the French and the Algerian National Liberation Front during the Algerian Revolution. It covers both sides of the Revolution that eventually began the movement against the French Colonial rule in Algeria. Sembene! tells of the life of Ousmane Sembene and his journey from ordinary man to “father of the African cinema”. This film talks about some of the different films he has made and why he continues to make films. Welcome to Nollywood follows three of the directors in the Nigerian film industry and talks about not only the film industry as a whole but of the effect it has on west Africa. Timbuktu tells the story of many different people all effected by the Jihadists in some way. The Battle of Algiers and Timbuktu tell actual historical stories while Sembene! And Welcome to Nollywood are documentaries that talk about specific directors and the stories they aim to tell. These films all speak to each other in numerous ways. I will be focusing on Sembene! and Welcome to Nollywood because they are both documentaries that tell the stories of
