The film “Frontline: The Wounded Platoon,” was an extraordinary film that gave excusive insight into the psychological and social affects the young veterans face due to their service in the military. I found it interesting that one of the veterans chose not to open up to someone who could possible help him because he thought that she would not be able to understand so he did not tell her what was happening. When a soldier was able to open up and talk about the issues, he was not taken serious or seen as a bad soldier. I find the filmmakers’ arguments convincing because at one point a solider stopped loading his gun and he knew he was having problems even though his psychologist thought he was fine. It’s understandable what was said about the

Out of frustration, Marji replies that it is difficult being Iranian in Vienna because everyone associates her as being a violent bloodthirsty savage.

Marji is struggling to be away from her family because they are the only people that are able to provide her with the proper guidance that she needs as a young maturing girl. Only at this scene after the bar in Vienna was the film able to portray the importance of identity through the lens of the grandmother as she played as Marji concession without actually being there. The video is able to express how identity is better displayed as an important value in the film than in the

"Raiders of the Lost Ark" is an out-of-body experience, a movie of glorious imagination and breakneck speed that grabs you in the first shot, hurtles you through a series of incredible adventures, and deposits you back in reality two hours later -- breathless, dizzy, wrung-out, and with a silly grin on your face. This movie celebrates the stories we spent our adolescence searching for in the pulp adventure magazines, in the novels of Edgar Rice Burroughs, in comics -- even in the

In 2006 a movie called United 93 was released in theatres all over the world. It was directed by Paul Greengrass, who is from England. The theme is terror and is about what happened to the fourth and final hijacked plane on 9/11. This movie tells the story of both what went on inside the plane with the passengers and the terrorists, and what happened “behind the scenes” in the FAA and in the flight control towers all over USA.

I don’t think so. How can it be disrespectful, when he asked for permission to make this film from all the
