Similarities Between King George Vi And Erin Brockovich

Through revealing that actors had in fact portrayed Polley’s family, the film sets out to emphasise the reliability and truthfulness of the documentary as well as the recounts. Without notifying the audience that such archival footage was fake and placing this revelation at the end of the film allows the audience to really consider what the “truth” is. When asked about the making of the film, Harry Gulkin, Polley’s biological father, states that the truth is a subjective narrative, that these “narratives are shaped in part by their relationship to the person who told it to them, and by the events” (Stories We Tell 2012). Additionally, Polley states, “the way her mother’s story changed depended on who was going the telling” (Vulture, 2013). This point is what resonates from the film and its purpose – that the there are different sides to the truth; one truth to one person is false to another.

This evidence accurately demonstrates the choice that King George III made and how it was influenced some by his mental instabilities. Not only was this major choice influenced by his disease, but George III’s choice had also changed history itself

King George III and John Adams subdued those under their regime. King George III was the notorious sovereign ruler of Britain who sparked an insurrection in the thirteen colonies by thwarting the colonists from governing their own people. One of the numerous atrocities committed by King George III was the obligation of deployment. King George pitted competent men from the thirteen colonies against their own people by forcing them to enlist in the military and restrain their people. Likewise, John Adams oppressed women when in presidency. His wife, Abigail Adams, wrote him countless letters pleading with him on the unwarranted treatment of women. In these letters, one of the motives for opposing women in the United States was the ideology that

subject to the analysis of the writers and artists of the day. This is no less true in the context of Elizabethan England. Arguably the most famous of all of Elizabethan creatives, Shakespeare contributed vastly to this reshaping of the relationship between ruler and subject. Henry IV Part 1 in particular was a commentary on modern times, relating to and helping shape perceptions of Queen Elizabeth I, as the character Henry IV formed a direct parallel to Elizabeth. Both monarchs experienced the question of legitimacy and the resistance that went with it, but most important is the portrayal of Henry himself. He was feminized through Shakespeare’s description and use of language, and, to Elizabethan audiences, would have called forth an image of Elizabeth herself. Henry’s relationship with Hal and his subjects supports this theory because he was, in many ways, maternal, and Elizabeth often referred to herself in a maternal fashion; both rulers are mothers in their own way. Henry’s close association with Elizabeth proves the immutability of Elizabeth in the annals of English history and, in the end, legitimized her rule at a point in time at which many believed her to be the opposite.

I felt that King brought out the emotions of his audience. This too got the reader listening to his words. King was able to accomplish this by using the persuasive strategy,

Often when talking about a subject that many are unfamiliar with, the audience will react more strongly to hearing stories and seeing real people compared to statistics. A tactic often used in documentaries, that these filmmakers used, is to humanize the individuals before dealing with the issues in a more concrete way. Often addressing topics this way allows more individuals to relate and care about the content. For example though there may be statistics about how many LGBTQ+ seniors are often alone or about the treatment of Trans people as elders, seeing KrysAnne being so happy with her new body then watching her become sick made me respond more than any statistic could, while also allowing me think about how trans individuals are treated in hospitals and nursing homes. Also after learning Lawrence and Alexander's love story and all they have been through, how could one not sympathize with Lawrence's struggle to find appropriate care for his lover. Often when showing people's stories the audience has an emotional response as well as a thought provoking

There are many different movie genres that I enjoy watching such as action, drama, horror, and comedy are some to name a few. Recently however, I have been more entertained watching a certain type of movie, biopics, because they encompass from a variety of my favorite movie genres. The biopic Malcolm x, directed by Spike Lee, stands out to me the most. It is one of my favorite films because it features my favorite actor and director, it is based upon someone (Malcolm X) whom I admire, and the purpose of the film.

A set of practices concerning the narrative structure compose the classical Hollywood Paradigm. These conventions create a plot centering around a character who undergoes a journey in an attempt to achieve some type of goal (). By giving the

To begin with this essay, I will be focusing on two pieces of media. I had recently read a book named "The Scarlet Letter" by Nathaniel Hawthorne and watched a movie called "Easy A". People say that Easy A is a good portrayal of The Scarlet Letter. Don 't get me wrong, the movie shares some of the same themes and the movie is influenced by the book, but in reality, Easy A is not a good portrayal of The Scarlet Letter.

Being one of the world’s most popular art forms, it was inevitable that these archetypes would find their way into film as well. In this essay I will argue that the

Academy award winning film, The King’s Speech, is a motivational movie where voice and courage become a matter of life and death. Prince Albert, later known as King George VI (Colin Firth), stammers excessively and uncontrollably through his inaugural speech closing the 1925 British Empire Exhibition due to a speech impediment. After finishing such a disappointing speech, Prince Albert decides to give up on himself and accept his fate as a stammering heir to the throne. However, his wife, Elizabeth (Helena Bonham Carter), enlists him to see an Aussie speech therapist that goes by the name of Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush) whose “Antipodean methods are known to be ‘unorthodox’ and ‘controversial,’” (“The King’s

This documentary has a voice which is the most important part of any movie, furthermore, it has it own way of living and breathing and speaking to

In this essay, I will explain why a documentary is always more realistic than a fiction film. I will show my thesis by exploring elements that influence how realistic a film is: film editing and format, genre, and transparency. I will use the documentary of Armadillo (2010), by Janus Pedersen, and the fiction film of The Chronicle of Anna Magdalena Bach (1968), by Danièle Huille as examples.

Hollywood cinema is primarily subjected to telling stories. The inclination of Hollywood narratives comes not just from good chronicles but from good story telling. The following essay will discuss Hollywood’s commercial aesthetic as applied to storytelling, expand on the characteristics of the “principles of classical film narration” and evaluate alternative modes of narration and other deviations from the classical mode.

Throughout the term I have begun experiencing movies in a different way. The class has taken ideas of cinematography, theory, and film history and practically applied it to physically watching movies. By breaking down scenes and movies as a whole, the way I look at films in general has developed. A reflection on two of the films from this term, Casablanca (Curtiz, 1942) and North by Northwest (Hitchcock, 1959) will carry the bulk of the essay. Though, I will also be discussing how this class changed the way I saw a movie just a few weeks ago. Casablanca’s script and acting are of particular caliber, and North by Northwest unfortunately does not deliver with the dialogue and casting of lead actor Cary Grant. Though, overall, they both
