Florence Nightingale Film Analysis

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the movie, however, I did have some small issues with the film. The movie was entertaining with a fun plot line and quality

Florence Nightingale was an immense impact on nursing, who “became famous for her revolutionary work as a nurse during the Crimean War” (Kent 30). “She dedicated her life to improving conditions in hospitals, beginning in an army hospital during the Crimean War,” (3 Registered). Her actions were then used by “concerned individuals, rather than by professionally trained nurses” during the Civil War, (Registered 279). Many of Nightingale’s ideas were brought into modern times, but with the improvement of technology and licensed nurses. With the influence and patience of Florence Nightingale, nursing has evolved into an outstanding career.

Florence Nightingale was born in Florence, Italy. Her parents named her after the city she was born in. She was born on May 12,1980, she was raised mostly in Derbyshire England. Many people when they hear Florence Nightingale think about her as a nurse and for her fight for better hospital care. Florence did a lot more in her life than achieve better hospital conditions, and become a nurse. She was a brilliant mathematician, and used statistics to apply them to achieve her reforms. Florence was a well-educated woman in a number of fields other than math;

During the Victorian time period roles regarding gender, education, the work force, and politics were all set and rarely had any changes made to these predisposed ideologies. By conducting an analysis of the time period using a variety of genres, it became apparent that Florence Nightingale’s role in breaking social norms was a starting point for the revolution of women. It is also evident that her actions are still influential in today’s society. Using two different sources, I compared both themes and techniques used to portray the purpose of the article and video. The first genre typography, is used to present the role that women during the Victorian time period, ranging from education to prostitution. While the video’s iconography genre’s purpose was to educate about Florence Nightingale’s role and what she accomplished in her lifetime. By using several types of genres I compared the roles of Victorian women to Florence Nightingale and her counter actions of the time period, and the impact made then and its relevance today.

The sounds and music in this film are very realistic, and to the point. There is not anything abstract or out of place, and everything is very appropriate. The

The sound effects were much better than what some people thought they would be. The sound effects were especially good in the scenes where there was lots of action involved. Places in the movie were very well laid out and the extra details in the outdoors made it that much better. Where they shot the movie was very close to what I pictured in my mind from what the book had described.

Katherine Paterson did an excellent job in the novel Of Nightingales That Weep, to show what Takiko’s appearance, thoughts, speeches, and actions were, what other characters thought and said about her, and the narrator comments. One way she showed how Takiko looked like is by having another character explain both her excellence in the Japanese instrument ,the Koto, and her beauty. A direct quote from the story says, “They say,” Kira Continued, “that your music is as beautiful as your face.” (Katherine Paterson, pg.49) Katherine Paterson shows Takiko’s thoughts, speech, and actions by letting the reader understand what's happening in Takiko’s perspective. One example quote is, “The Emperor was wide awake now, his head forward, listening intently

The movie uses split screen techniques to spice up the presentation, but at times it comes across quite amateur. Generally speaking, though, the documentary flows well and creates a good combination of humourous and thoughtful moments. The conclusion isn’t all that satisfying since the story doesn't have a true end, and no major declarations are made, but I suppose a subject matter like this can be infinitely spoken and had to wrap up at some

     The actors are believable in their roles. Steven Martin who acts as George Banks is outstanding in his role, he acts very well, so the audience knows his feelings, and feels sorry for him. The stars are not the main reason for me to see the film, but the title is.

Nightingale said, “The very first requirement in a hospital is that it should do the sick no harm”. The history of nursing initially begins with Florence Nightingale. Before her era nurses had a tarnished reputation (Glasper, 2017). They were poorly educated and incompetent people. Nurses such as Mrs. Bedford Fenwick wanted to change the image of nursing. They did this by leading a campaign for professionalism. Which led to the culminated Nurse Bill receiving is royal assent in December 1919 (Glasper, 2017). July 27, 1921 was the official opening of the nursing register, there are currently 688,927 nurses registered with the Nursing Midwifery Council (NMC) (Glasper, 2017). The NMC code has four themes of professionalism, “Prioritizing

Comment: I found this film very tough going- it is undoubtedly a well made film and has some clever and quirky moments. However I lost interest around halfway through the film and could not engage with the film and its clunky style. A lighter touch would have made a huge difference to the viewing experience. Perhaps as an artistic statement it deserves more than three stars but as a movie going experience it was only a little bit better than average.

Florence Nightingale, a well-educated nurse, was recruited along with 38 other nurses for service in a hospital called Scutari during the Crimean War in 1854 . It was Nightingale's approaches to nursing that produced amazing results. Florence Nightingale was responsible for crucial changes in hospital protocol, a new view on the capabilities and potential of women, and the creation of a model of standards that all future nurses could aspire towards.

Florence Nightingale was born in Florence, Italy, she was named after the city of her birth. Her mother and father had her when they were vacationing in Italy. She was born on May 12, 1820. Her parents were William and Frances (also known as Fanny) Nightingale. Her father was a wealthy landowner and inherited an estate in Derbyshire, England. Her mother and father both committed themselves to the rush of active social lives. She had a sister, Frances Parthenope Verney,Florence would call her Parthe, Parthenope was also named after her birth place.

Theory and practice are said to go hand in hand. Theory is shaped based on practice and insight, while it also gives shape and foundation to practice. Florence Nightingale is acknowledged as the founder of modern nursing and a theorist. She believed in the patient’s capacity for self-healing which is reinforced by the nurse’s ability to create an environment conducive to health (Smith &Parker, 2015, p. 50). Her philosophy of nursing is that one should put the patient in the best position for nature to act on him or her. This paper will identify the five essential components of her theory to draw out an appropriate plan of care for Mrs. Adams in the case study. In addition, discuss the applicability of Nightingale’s

“Fade far away, dissolve, and quite forget What thou among the leaves hast never known, The weariness, the fever, and the fret.” (Keats) In “Ode to A Nightingale,” John Keats is the narrator who is in a state of drowsiness and numbness when he sees a nightingale and then goes on to explain his encounter with the bird. Although the surface level meaning of the poem is a man expressing his thought to and about a bird, there is a deeper meaning that can be seen when you investigate the literary devices used. Keats uses imagery, tone, and symbolism to display the theme of pain and inner conflict between life and death.
