reason why I chose this action film for my project is because it’s one of my favorite war movies and relates to numerous concepts learned from class like territory, conflict, and coercive power very well. The film begins with Captain Miller (Tom Hanks) and his troops successfully infiltrating the shores of Normandy and being given a new mission thereafter. Their mission was to find and send Private James Ryan (Matt Damon) home which is what the whole film revolves around. The reason Private Ryan

“Forrest Gump” was taken in 1993 in America. The movie tells that a person who is a congenital retardation acquire marvels in many fields though working hard constantly. Forrest is a hero in this movie, but this character is different from other heroes that appear in the past. He didn’t have some super abilities. He just put all of wisdom, confidence and courage together, and he just keep working hard. This movie give him many good qualities which are not usually gather in a person. For me, this

This is the story of Jerry Weintraub, a man who mastered the art of the schmooze and had an eye for talent like none other. Jerry Weintraub spent over half of his life in show business earning himself the reputation of Hollywood’s smooth talker, deal maker, and show headliner. By establishing legendary acts into mainstream media such as Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Led Zeppelin, John Denver, Brad Pitt, and films such as The Karate Kid and Ocean’s Eleven, Weintraub catapulted himself to fame and

Saving Private Ryan is a 1998 movie directed by Steven Spielberg about World War II Invasion of Normandy. This film, was nominated for 11 Academy Awards and won many other awards among the cast, picture, and so forth. Spielberg did a great job on getting a lot of things correct to what happened in real life. Although, the movie isn’t entirely correct with certain scenes and topics. At the very beginning of the movie they showed the United States Army invading the Omaha Beach. In this scene, they

“Run Forrest, Run”, is a quote that is extremely well known. Although a large number of people have heard that quote, not many have ever put more thought into it. What really is this quote symbolizing? What really is happening in this scene of the famous movie, Forrest Gump? Robert Zemeckis shows his audience how Forrest is able to find power from within while he is putting bullies behind him. The scene that I chose from this movie is when Forrest is being chased by bullies for the first time and

Although war is often portrayed as glamorous and heroic in Hollywood, the reality is a stark contrast to this ideology. Saving Private Ryan (Steven Spielberg, 1998) as a New Hollywood film challenges this traditional convention and sheds light on the brutality of war. Through the opening scene of Omaha Beach Assault of June 6, 1944, Spielberg utilizes elements of mise en scene and cinematography represented through the different point of view shots of a cameraman soldier, the German Panzerschrecks

Sant (2000), Finding Forrester was the film selected for this discussion, truth be told it selected me. At the conclusion of the film, with tears streaming down my face, it was a choice with no regrets. The storyline for the film centers around two main characters, Forrester and Lamar. Forrester played by Sean Connery, is an eccentric, reclusive, Pulitzer prize winning novelist, living in a high-rise building in New York city. Forrester has not left his apartment in over a decade. His life centers

For this project, I decided to revisit the story/movie of Forrest Gump. In the movie, Forrest Gump was portrayed as a young man with both intellectual and physical disabilities; these characteristics categorized him abnormal/less of a man. These disabilities made Forrest experience devaluation on various levels in different stages of his life. His mother tried to protect him from such acts keeping him isolated and close to home. Forrest Gump’s character was made fun of a lot, throughout the film

By now, most of the world and countless generations of people from all walks of life have seen the beloved film, Forrest Gump. For those who have not, Forrest Gump was released in 1994 and the film focuses on a man whom viewers watch mature from his stages of adolescence into adulthood, dedicating a lifetime trying to capture the heart of his first and only love interest, Jenny, all while battling his mental illness. Throughout his life, Forrest was a key factor in some of America’s most historical

Some movies involve a certain scene in which the significance to the film's key ideas is prominently displayed, and many will argue that the Omaha beach scene in Steven Spielberg’s Saving Private Ryan is a perfect example of one of these scenes. Spielberg uses many examples of both visual and aural techniques to allow the audience to help recognise the challenges faced by Captain Miller and his men. The scene takes place on a beach on the coast of Normandy in France, as US troops attempt to mount
