Analysis Of The Movie ' The War Room '

The Hillary Clinton campaign for president in 2016 has been plagued by conspiracy theories that are used as attacks by Donald Trump supporters. For decades the Clinton family has been in the eyes of the public. Ever since some of the mysterious aspects of Bill Clinton’s presidency have come forward, the Clintons are never far from a conspiracy theory. Though some of these theories may be a little hard to believe, in most cases there is strong information to support these claims. There are different aspects of the Clinton’s lives that conspiracy theorists like to target. Some examples are the Clinton body counts, or the people supposedly killed by the Clinton’s, theories on the health of Hillary, and The Reptilian Elite. There are all kinds

The characters in the novel Tomorrow When the War Began (TWTWB) (1993) begin as very human, very believable and, very ordinary. Then their lives are changed in an instant and they are forced to respond, to change, to grow and to adapt.. The characterisation is so well done that Ellie, Robyn, Fi, Homer, Chris, Corrie, Kevin and Lee become real to the reader, and you find yourself relating to them as you would actual people. Author John Marsden creates characters based on Australia’s unique multicultural society in TWTWB. The novel is based on an Australian town where John Marsden uses stereotypes as the main characters. They start out as fairly stereotypical examples of teenagers, but they undergo a character metamorphosis as the story progresses. Characters such as Homer, first introduced as a very stereotypical law-breaking teenager often seen in todays society, undergoes a transformation into a strong leader as the story develops.

In the wake of the Watergate scandal, however, that dynamic changed completely. Bob Woodward’s and Carl Berstein’s single-minded pursuit of the real perpetrators of Watergate seemingly unlocked a new, aggressive form of journalism, investigative journalism, which completely change the way media interacted with the government (Streissguth, 2006, p.51). In Media Bias, Tom Streissguth (2006) explains that “before the turn of the twentieth century, political leaders were largely immune from personal attacks” and that “...their private lives and professional crimes held little interest for newspapers editors” (p. 47). One major revelation that the scandal introduced was how interested the public was in politicians’ transgressions. Shortly after Watergate, Congressmen Wilber Mill was involved in a drunken driving accident and after being torn apart by the media, he had to resign. But no politician got the full brunt of private-life attacks as President Bill Clinton, who narrowly escaped being trialed on “perjury and obstruction of justice” (Streissguth, 2006, p.53).

The Presidency of William (Bill) Clinton began in 1993 and ended in 2001 after two terms. There is no doubt that he President Clinton was one of the most likeable of the President’s. His ‘loveable rogue” image would be needed to help him through scandals that would occur throughout his Presidency.

The sex scandal involving president Clinton showed that a president would go to great lengths to cover up a scandal, even if it meant lying under oath. For a short time period the office of the presidency became a joke among many Americans, this event

Firstly, Clinton's disdain for Obama during their joint campaigning seemed more pointed and contained more animosity than any other candidate. In the beginning of the chapter it is noted that Clinton would privately criticize Obama for comparing his record to hers and other candidates, including Joe Biden, after her dominance of debates. "Am I the only one who sees the arrogance? Does that not bother people?" Our group found this aspect of Clinton interesting because she has a reputation for being arrogant and unrelatable. We believe that her scrutiny and disdain of Obama reflected her

In 1992, Bill Clinton became the Democratic nominee and during his campaign, he became the first candidate to use popular TV shows to reach black and younger voters. (Toner, 1992)17 Clinton appeared on The Arsenio Hall Show, popular among African-Americans, where he played his saxophone. With months left until the I1994 election, Clinton appeared on MTV’s Rock the Vote special. His appearances helped him win support in the African-American community and among young voters between the ages of 18-to 29. Clinton’s success came from the personal approach and engagement he used to reach voters during the election year of 1992 and 1996. Clinton entered the environment of his targeted audience, and in 1996 according to the New York Times, it helped Clinton win the African-American (83%) and young (43%) vote (New York Times, 2008)18 (see Figure 1.2). In the end, Clinton’s appearances made him appear as a normal, trendy, and cool

It was not only his actions during the Lewinsky scandal that deemed him as corrupt, it was his entire personality. According to Daniel Cohen (2000), Clinton gained a reputation as a womanizer early on in his career due to several different sexual harassment acquisitions and lawsuits (p. 55). The nickname never truly left him because it seemed that after one lawsuit cleared up, another one started. This made it difficult for Americans to trust that he had good integrity. Ann Coulter (2002) believed Clinton was corrupt because of White House coffees, a plan he formed with Terry McAuliffe, the Democratic National Committee finance chief, and Harold Ickes, his deputy chief of staff in order to obtain more money for his second term election. He plotted to give wealthy campaign donors the opportunity to discuss with him their ideas and concerns over coffee, breakfast, or lunch in order to coax more contributions out of them (p.214). Nothing seemed to be wrong with this scene, until a letter Clinton wrote to his secretary was found. In this letter, he explained that he needs to pursue all his contributors right away in order to persuade them to donate the amount of money he wants. This came off as deception because instead of actually being in touch with his contributors and really listening to what they say, he only wanted their

History has proven that when art is made, art becomes timeless. This is the reality with countless of classic films that have proven that when directors utilize various film techniques, they are able to create magnificent shots and scenes. In the film, “All the President’s Men”, the director, Alan J. Pakula employs various techniques that he effectively utilizes to make the political thriller an intriguing experience for his audience. As a political thriller, the film is based on the true story and events of the “Watergate Scandal” that the director tells from the perspective of two journalists that worked for The Washington Post. While Pakula’s film is excellent through the skills used to supplement the

I will be analyzing the article “Hillary Clinton's golden opportunities” by Kathleen Parker. In this article the author aims to symbolize the big bucks’ politicians receive for their unreleased speech transcripts, but at the same time fails to do so. Parker’s first “factual” argument is because of Clinton’s high-dollar rates; she is not in touch with the "real Americans" she tries to represent. This argument succeeds in convincing me of the familiar old news; Clintons move into the White House tore them off of the everyday society. Their lives as millionaires accompanied by chefs, chauffeurs, and Secret Agents only proves their disconnection from the everyday Americans. So how is she suppose to govern the country and people of whose interests

In the short film, “The Negro Soldier,” the whole focus was to get African Americans to join the military. With the use of propaganda, the U.S. government hoped to promote getting African Americans to want to fight for their country. It hoped to instill patriotism in them. It showed that Germany and the Nazis had no respect for them and considered them the scum of the earth. It also portrayed them being accepted as equals into the American society. It was used to make them think they were wanted and play a major role in the success of the war against germany. And to ultimately make Germany and the Nazis look like the bad guys (destroying their monuments) instead of the racist America they lived in. It also portrayed African American soldiers prior contributions in previously fought wars as pivotal moments in American history. It made it seem like they were the reason for those victories. It also explained how the African American soldiers were honored with tributes, memorials, medals and parades for their service in the military. In the ongoing WWII, it was said that there were three times the number of African Americans soldiers in WWII than in WWI. Also, many more were getting commissioned and attending West Point and OCS (Officer Candidate School). African American men that were once printers, tailors, entertainers are now soldiers in the Army as gunners, tankers, radio operators, mechanics, quartermasters, and infantrymen. They were now the backbone of

In order to better understand Bill Clinton and to get a better view on what may have led him down his path to infamy, it’s important to take a look into his childhood. Bill Clinton was born on August 19, 1946, in Hope, Arkansas under the name William Jefferson Blythe after his biological father. President Clinton’s father died just months before he was born. In order to provide for her new baby, his mother left him with his grandparents for two years to go to nursing school. His grandparents were very strict disciplinarians and all about education; they had Clinton reading books at the age of three. Upon his mother’s return in 1950, she married a man by the name of

All the President’s Men tends to make a huge deal about reporting, alter facts and leave out a few crucial people within the scandal investigation. With proper background knowledge and further research into the Watergate scandal, the viewer is able to tell that there are some brief exaggerations. Similar to the film’s reporters, in today’s world, news reporters are always trying to get the next best story. They will do anything and everything possible to get the truth behind a hot story. Many famous people now a days can’t walk a few steps without being bombarded by the media.

In the 1980's and 90's, the criticism of the private lives of public officials’ escalated quickly. Since the second that Clinton began office, charges of misconduct shadowed over him. In 1993, an investigation was launched into an Arkansas real estate deal. Known as Whitewater, Clinton and his wife profited greatly.

Father Comes Home from the Wars and the Royale are two productions that had a common theme which was freedom. Throughout both of the productions, they were numerous of racism moments that led the characters to find a ticket to freedom. Freedom was the main theme in the production because the main characters had a difficult time stepping out of their comfort zones due to the lack of confidence they had and both of the theaters had the proper lights and props to represent the characters.
