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.

The Battle of Little Bighorn in 1876 was perhaps the greatest victory for the Native Americans against the white European settlers. The Battle of Little Bighorn is also known as Custer's Last Stand and it was a fight between the Lakota, Cheyenne and Arapaho tribes against the 7th Cavalry Regiment of the United States Army. The Native Americans were led by "Crazy Horse" and "Sitting Bull," while the 7th Cavalry Regiment was led by General George Armstrong Custer. Custer's orders were to locate the Sioux camp in the Big Horn Mountains in Montana and wait for back up to arrive and help.

With Hollywood producers jumping all over the idea of making historical wars and battles come to life on the big screen, many times fabricated and over-the-top details are added to enhance the overall plots. Keeping this in mind, I analyzed the movie Gettysburg, directed by Ronald F. Maxwell, for historical accuracies. The battle of Gettysburg was the bloodiest battle in American history, many movies have been made to re-enact the horrors that unraveled within those days; however, many of them are incorrect. The movie Gettysburg, directed by Ronald F. Maxwell, seems to be mostly accurate with the historical events. The defense of Little Round Top was a pivotal moment within the battle of Gettysburg, the winner of this skirmish would decide

As a child, I have always been intrigued about the vast traditions and the colorful histories of various Indian Tribes. I choose Dee Browns “Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee” in order to be further educated about the Native American nations. I was familiar with the piece long before I even knew it was a book by watching and love the HBO special on “Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee”.

On June 25, 1876 the “Battle Of Little Bighorn” took place.  The battle it self took place by Little Bighorn River in Montana.  Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse along with the Sioux, and the Cheyenne were all there at Little Bighorn not wanting to return to the reservations without a fight.  When George Armstrong Custer went down to the area he was unaware of how many Indians were actually there.  So due to that Custer underestimating

The Battle of Little Bighorn, also known as Custer’s Last Stand, is one of the worst military failures of the United States. Early Americans tried to force Indians into reservations in order to steal their land. They then proceeded to invade the areas set off for Indians in a search of gold. The greed of Americans forced the Natives into a defensive position; they could no longer trust the intruders. They fled from the reservations and were soon ordered back.

Dances With The Wolves and Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee have similarities and difference. Dances With The Wolves is similar to Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee because each movie had it where one person from the opposite side understood the Indians. Dances WIth Wolves understood the Indians like no other white man could he was willing to get to know them and give them a chance. Charles understood the Indians even though he grew up as a white he still loved his Indian family and understood them even when no other would give them a chance he still tried convincing people that they needed to be treated fairly and like whites. With both movies they also had one person that switch over. Dances With Wolves was a white man before switching to a Indian and trying Final to live with them.

The Engagement of Little Bighorn –also called George Armstrong Custer ’s Last Tie-up –marked the most decisive Native American victory and the worst U.S. Army defeat in the long Knit stitch American-Indian language Warfare . The gruesome fortune of Custer and his manpower outraged many white Americans and confirmed their image of the Indians as wild and bloodthirsty. Meanwhile, the U.S. authorities increased its attempt to subdue the kin . Within five yr , almost all of the Sioux and Cheyenne would be confined to

First, and foremost, the battle between the white man and the Indian Nation is a poignant historical portrayal of what took place at the Wounded Knee Massacre. It was all set in motion in the “Moon When the Deer Shed Their Horns”, a Sioux moon of December. The Sioux were so distraught about the assassination of Sitting Bull; they could not muster an uprising. The Ghost Dance was their only hope to eradicate the white man.

In the late 1950s in Mississippi 45% of the state's population was African American, but only 5% of that population was registered to vote. Alabama was the most racist states in the Confederacy. Which started the Civil Rights Movement in Selma, Alabama. Four innocent girls pay the price for an act of cruelty, in the sixteenth street Baptist church. Later on, the SCLC( Southern Christian Leadership Conference) led the first two marches to Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama, which were unsuccessful because of the brutality shown by white police.

Movies have a lot of work put into them in which us the audience tend to not really pay attention to. In the movie Laid in America (2016) directed by Peter Vass uses editing, Cinematography, and sound to grab its audience so that they can enjoy the film. These elements in film are combined to portray two of the characters Olajide Olatunji’s character (Duncan) and Casper Lee’s character (Jack) in which their dilemma starts off by them coming to America as foreign exchange students in which their ultimate goal would be for them to get laid before they return back to the U.K. While this is there mission they run into a bit of trouble when they use an app to get girls and find themselves getting kidnapped for faking that they have money in order

The main ideological battle that the film discuses is split between living by Sharia law versus the typical Islam law. The extremist group wants Sharia to dominate Pakistan, having its supporters willing to sacrifice their wealth, freedom, and lives for the sake of Allah. The religious laws of Islam indicate that when these laws cannot be implemented peacefully, then force must be used, which leads to destruction of property that goes against what Islam believes. This group uses madrassah to train children to memorize the Quran as it is believed that when the entire Quran is memorized, they will go to Heaven, wear a special crown, and be able to bring ten of their relatives

This paper will prove that due to political aspects in both countries America and Vietnam, the Vietnam War occurred leading to devastating political consequences for their nations, both positive and negative. Which Oliver Stone showed very well through his Vietnam trilogy films called Platoon (1986), Born on the Fourth of July (1989), and Heaven and Earth (1993).

The film Dogtown Redemption has given me new insight on a community that I have lived only twenty minutes away from my entire life. The film displays a vast number of struggles of displaced homeless community members within West Oakland. Each story is very eye-opening and allows outsiders a deeper look into the everyday challenges that these individuals must face on a daily basis. One character in this film that I found particularly interesting was Landon. I was especially intrigued by Landon’s life story and his ability to overcome immense obstacles in his life. He shows great perseverance and a desire to better himself as well those around him in the film. Landon demonstrates many categories within the OTPF Domains and he could absolutely benefit from working with an occupational therapist to progress his life goals even further.

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.
