Operation Fast And Furious Analysis

In the Last Stand, written by Nathaniel Philbrick he discusses a big leader in the Civil War, George Armstrong Custer and how he led his troops with reckless courage. Philbrick wrote this book which can be viewed in many ways: a bloody massacre that is a big part of American history, or a tale of crazy arrogance and even unmatched bravery. One way that this book can be viewed as is the Last Stand being viewed as an account of a well-known battle that encapsulates the treatment of Native Americans during the “Indian Wars.” The next option is that the Last Stand is a retelling story of a history that does not glorify the United States Army in the Indian Wars, but shows the hubris and reckless of the leaders and army. Finally, the Last Stand can be viewed as a double meaning, both the last stand for Custer and the Last Stand for the Sitting Bull and the Lakota Sioux. In this essay, I’m going to discuss the ways in which Custer leads his troops and how he was a powerful leader during this time.

So it was with one of this president’s earliest embarrassments, “Operation Fast and Furious,” designed to help the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) dismantle drug cartels operating inside the United States and disrupt drug-trafficking routes. Instead, it put into the hands of criminals south of the border some 2,000 weapons, which have been used to kill hundreds of Mexicans and at least one American.

I’m proud of ‘Black Hawk Down’ because I think it told a provocative story and it was honest. It could have had more opportunity to tell both sides of the story, but I’m still proud of it.” (Josh Hartnett). This quote overall proves that Black Hawk Down is a valuable book for teens since, it provides the truth of what happens during war and if you are not prepared and it provides advanced vocabulary terms. In the book Black Hawk Down there is a lot of advanced vocabulary, certain styles of language and a ton of military terms. During this essay I will be talking about how Black Hawk Down is valuable for the teens of Morongo unified School District. This story ties into academic, social and patriotic.

Die Hard, a film directed by John McTiernan, successfully utilized several aesthetics, which offered viewers various meanings throughout the duration of the film. Although the diverse meanings grasped by viewers may differ, it was clear to me that McTiernan effectively applied elements of cinematography and mise-en-scene that resulted in viewers being allowed to interpret a range of different meanings or functions of the elements.

In some cases, the production of a certain television series is genuinely poor and lousy, however, that is not always the case. Sometimes the producers intentionally compromise the standard and the quality of an episode in order to generate profit for the network. This compromise is evident in the “pilot” episode of the series called Lethal Weapon. Fox network used what has worked in the past, as a result, the series is a typical comedy genre cop show with a bitter-sweet relationship between the two main characters, Roger Murtaugh and Martin Riggs. In addition to comedy, the produces have also used violence, sex and vulgarity in order to achieve high profits.

For a film that director George Miller claims is “Not overtly” feminist, Mad Max: Fury Road is pretty overtly feminist. From the central story of the Wives escaping an evil man to the badass female action hero Furiosa, the entire film seems to revolve around female empowerment and the destruction of the patriarchal structures that keep women in chains (or in the case of the film, gaudy chastity belts). After the film’s release in 2015, it garnered heaps of praise from the public and critics alike, including detailed breakdowns of the visual effects and comparisons to the film’s predecessors but with definite discussion of the feminism in the movie as well. But the film’s female empowerment appears to fall short in a few areas. In many ways, Mad Max: Fury Road is a snapshot of current feminist theory, succeeding in areas that are widely agreed upon and highlighting issues that have yet to be fully resolved.

Sound and music have long since been staples of the gangster genre, used both to add more tension in suspenseful scenes, or to immerse an audience in the time period of the film. These examples and many like it are most notably used in the 1990 Gangster film Goodfellas by Martin Scorsese, who uses these to set the atmosphere of each scene, and reinforce the running narrative of the film. Goodfellas retells the story of American born gangster Henry Hill, and the rise and fall of him and his way of life from the ‘50’s through the ‘80’s. I picked Goodfellas as the focal point of this essay because of it’s use of music and sound to set it’s story’s atmosphere both visually, and through auditory means.

Every day the U.S. border patrol has to constantly keep an eye out for the smuggling of drugs by Mexican Cartels. There has been much violence due to this drug problem that has left many people near the border killed and is allowing more criminals to obtain these weapons. A lot of this attention goes to the U.S. because many of the weapons utilized in the “drug war” are U.S. made and is interfering with trading relations amongst both the U.S. and Mexico. With this current violent situation in Mexico this has transformed the flow of weapons to an even larger scale.

Action-packed and highly-rated, Mad Max: Fury Road is a critically-acclaimed film about a journey of survival through a post-apocalyptic wasteland. There is no doubt that post-apocalyptic films are becoming increasingly popular among audiences as seen with movies such as the Hunger Games. However, Leggatt (2012) describes another variation in the post-apocalyptic genre, one that has been dubbed post-9/11 after a string of patterns prevalent in some post-apocalyptic films. Leggatt’s definition of post-9/11 apocalyptic films are ones that have a pessimistic tone towards the future of a society. As the world evolves and progresses, many new issues overlap and outgrow previous issues that have plagued the world before - though this transgression, the film industry follows suit in order to invent stories and media that is thought-provoking and relevant to changing society. Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) is a film that encapsulates many elements of Leggatt’s post 9/11 apocalypse film genre through the apocalyptic setting, derailment of redemption, and societal obsession with apocalypse over utopia.

The action film Mad Max: Fury Road written and directed by George Miller features many strong, complex female characters, something that is unfortunately rare for the genre. Also unusual for action movies, Mad Max: Fury Road is filled with depictions and messages about the struggles that the women in the movie face. Not only is there Furiosa, a tough woman looking for redemption, but there are also the much less talked about Wives of Immortan Joe who are just as important. The Wives serve as a representation and critique of all of the terrible things that women are forced to endure all over the world in our real life society. Like many women, the Wives are only valued for their unsullied beauty, treated as property, only useful for their ability to provide Immortan Joe with children, and in addition, have a total lack of choice over their bodies. These are problems that many women in the real world face every single day, and are the most i
