The Film Of World War II

Anne Frank’s diary has changed how people have thought of world war 2 for many years. There are many differences in how the story is told through a play and a movie.the story takes place in a secret hide out called the annex. It is mainly about the 2 years that Anne, her family, the Van Daans, and Mr.Dussel.

In the play “Anne Frank” they are located in Amsterdam July 6th 1942. They are in hiding in what is called the Annex during WWII. The people at the Annex are Anne Frank, Margot Frank, Mr.Frank and Mrs. Frank, Peter Van Daan, Mr. Van Daan, Mrs. Van Daan, and Mr Dussel, we know this because Mr. Frank gave Anne Frank a diary and she wrote in the diary a lot giving us this information.

Every war will have those who support the war and those who are against the war. In 1965, those who were against the Vietnam War made their views known by many forms of protesting such as forming organizations, rallying, and anti-war protest music. Anti-war protest music was an opportunity to put people’s perspectives into song to hopefully spread their message. Buffy Sainte-Marie wrote the song “Universal Soldier” in 1962 and her message was that “Universal Soldier is about individual responsibility for war and how the old feudal thinking kills us all” (Boulanger). The song “Universal Soldier” was used as a protest anthem during the Vietnam War and attempts to untangle one of the paradoxes of life that war never leads to peace through

American media can be said to have reached its peak during WWI due to the movies based off the battles and suffering happening in Europe.

Movies and newsreels used propaganda to help generate U.S. support for the war and to inspire assistance from the citizens. The government had the difficult task of influencing Americans to provide both monetary and physical support of the war efforts. Financially, Americans could buy war bonds which aided the government in purchases they needed to fight the Germans. Physical support was needed through volunteer work; men would sign up for the military and the women could lend a hand in the nursing efforts. Individuals bonded together in promoting their patriotism by aiding the United States and supporting their involvement in World War I.

Even though feature films aren’t all facts, they should still be credited because they portray the emotions of a historical time period.

During World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union allied together to defeat the Nazi’s and the Axis powers. The Soviets made significant sacrifices during the war, including losing a vast amount of its agricultural and industrial capacity as well as twenty million of its citizens (Roark, 692). Joseph Stalin, the leader of the Soviet Union, wanted to cultivate his power by creating strong borders in Eastern Europe to prevent future attack, and he wanted the Germans to take part in the Soviet’s economic reconstruction as well as their popularity across the world. America was excelling after the war in comparison to the Soviet’s anguish. Our losses were minor, and our atomic weapons and economic monopoly had helped us surface as the greatest power in the world. The two powers were fighting for the same cause, however, once the war ended, their postwar
