concluded that the best film I’ve ever seen was Braveheart. The film was directed by the iconic Mel Gibson, who also plays the leading role of the legendary thirteenth century Scottish hero William Wallace, alongside the talented Sophie Marceau and Brendan Gleeson. In the film, after suffering both treachery and personal tragedy at the hands of English soldiers, Wallace rallies the Scottish against the monarch

would have preferred to see the movie Moby Dick instead of its inspiration. We start the story with Herman Melville the author of Moby Dick played by Ben Whishaw (Skyfall, Cloud Atlas, Stoned) as he makes his way to the home of Tom Nickerson; Brendan Gleeson (The Company you Keep, Edge of Tomorrow, Green Zone) who is now the last living survivor of the Essex. Mr. Nickerson, nor any of the other survivors for that matter, has never told the events that happened while stranded out on sea and with good

Other significant actors include Erica Bana, Brian Cox, Julian Glover, Brendan Gleeson, Siri Svegler, and Diane Kruger. The film was directed by Wolfgang Petersen and primarily produced by the Warner Brothers, Helena Productions, and Latina Pictures, thus making the film an American Hollywood production. Troy was indeed filmed

second one is the Catholic Church. Calvary opens with the line from Augustine, “Do not despair; one of the thieves was saved. Do not presume; one of the thieves was damned.” John Michael McDonagh attempts to tell a story of Father James Lavelle (Brendan Gleeson) in tension and in darkness. The story starts in a confessional, where Father James hears the voice of an obscured penitent about his story. A priest had raped him since he was seven. Now he is going to kill Father James at the beach one week

Environmental effects of mining Mining is the extraction of expensive minerals or metals from the earth. The economy cannot function without minerals and the products made from mining due to the fact that many of our daily used objects are not organically grown, but are man-made. Everything we rely on depends on mining minerals. Our homes are made out of foundations made of concrete. Water, electricity and gas are conducted though copper and steel wires.

Kingdom of Heaven argues that the human psyche plays an important part in the duty of people. At the beginning of the movie, Balian’s wife commits suicide which and the priest seeks to punish her father by cutting off her head. Later, Balian kills the priest in a fit of rage and decides that he has to go to Jerusalem to seek redemption. Such a case illustrates that the psyche influences Balian who decides to go seek redemption for his sins. While Balian was reluctant to follow Godfrey to his crusades

THE GANGS OF NEW YORK, written by Herbert Asbury, was used as the basis for the movie GANGS of NEW YORK, a gangster film directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Daniel Day-Lewis and Leonardo DiCaprio.

In my response I am going to compare Homer’s Iliad with Wolfgang Petersen’s film Troy. The points I am going to compare are the fight between Paris and Menelaus, the role of the gods, the death of Patroclus and the fight between Hector and Achilles. The Iliad is an epic poem consisting of 23 books by Homer, which focuses on 50 days in the ninth year of the Trojan War, whereas the movie Troy directed by Wolfgang Petersen tells the whole 10 year story of the myth.
