Synopsis: When the USSR hockey team took on the United States in the 1980 Olympics, more than just a gold medal was on the line. Probably one of the most political games in history, this particular game symbolized one of many “battles” of the Cold War. In the, movie Miracle, this story of the underdog is told over, with a strong focus on American coach Herb Brooks and his relationship with his team. The movie highlights the extremely hard work done by the team and the demanding Coach Brooks unrelenting passion to win no matter what. The crux of the movie lies within the game with the Soviet union and those stomach wrenching moments before the game even started, as players knew that at this point it was make it or break it.

When it comes to the film industry, entertainment is the tool used to acquire what is desired, money. The main goal for filmmakers when they create a film is to attain money in addition to the money spent to make the movie. Therefore, in some films that they like to base off of true accounts, it is somewhat necessary to dramatize or embellish the story to really tug at the heartstrings of the films audience. They achieve this goal by the use of dramatic music, ambient lighting, and a small amount of tweaked diction. The Fighter is an excellent example of this dramatization in action because throughout the film the characters are faced with a multitude of decisions that must be made. The choices they make require the characters to choose

Bordertown by Gregory Nava is about the brave story of a journalist, Lauren Adrian who risks her life to save Eva’s life and investigates the murders of young women in Juarez, who are in a modern type of slavery, which makes people work long periods of time without proper remuneration. The director brings to the screen the immorality and inhumanity occurring in Mexico to these young women. In addition, his message illustrates how democracy in Mexico is not being taken as serious as in other democratic nations and how the American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) has disadvantages. For instance, rich and powerful families exploit poor individuals with the government’s consent and with the help of United States through NAFTA. From what I have seen in Nava’s movie, I agree with his message.

Assumptions are the beliefs that we don’t feel the need to question because we speculate that they are accurate. They can be the ‘truths’ that one may take for granted. For the most part, I feel my choices, as well as my classmate's choices, seem to parallel each other’s. In my case, with the limited amount of people that will be living after the end of the world, what was important to me is rebuilding our society. I chose people who were young and/or fertile that would be able to repopulate the world. I also felt that it was important to include people that had something to contribute to our reformulated society. Just by reviewing what everyone posted for the ‘survivor game’, I can assume that we have the same ideas about how to go about

The movie in which I chose to do my movie analysis on was not one from the list provided. However, it is one of my all-time favorite movies The Band of Brothers a miniseries by HBO. I chose to do this one over the other because not only is it very entertaining and keeps you want to watch more, just to see what happens to everyone invaded but also because of the history be hide the story. The fact that they used real life experiences to help make the film just made it that much better. I watch The Band of Brothers at least a few times a year so I was happy to do this assignment.

The film Big Hero 6, is about Hiro, a 14 year old boy who creates an incredible invention called microbots to achieve his dream of enrolling into the San Fransokyo Institute of Technology. The microbots are tiny robots that are linked together through any way, shape, or form, through a neurotransmitter. However, trouble strikes as someone steals them, but Hiro and Tadashi, his deceased brother’s medical assistant robot Baymax save the day along with the other multiracial four heroes who were his Tadashi’s friends at the institute as they capture the villain. Big Hero 6, in particular, made me witness how Disney had began to endeavored taking a technological path, opposed to other films intended for children. I believe that Big Hero 6 stands out from all the other movies intended for kids, as from my analysis the movie made me see that it’s characters were mostly all centered around intellectual human-beings. But Disney still used a well-known cliche as they still put at least one unintelligent character in the movie, mostly due to comedic purposes. However, in Big Hero 6, there were some weaknesses that could’ve made this movie even better. The first weakness, was that the directors could’ve added more insight/backstory on how the Hamada household came to be. I felt like starting off with that to go along with the bot-fighting scene would connect must smoother to the movie. Giving the audience some insight/backstory to Big Hero 6, might specify maybe how their aunt became
