The first time I heard about the Mad Max franchise was the 2016 Academy Awards. I hadn’t seen it at that point, but all of my friends had loved it and thought it completely deserved the nomination. The skeptic in me thought it was weird that such a strange looking film was nominated, until I saw it myself. The world of “Fury Road” is huge, focusing on multiple characters and multiple classes of society in a post apocalyptic world that they live in. Once I saw “The Road Warrior” I immediately noticed

these movies are Braveheart (the best) and The Cat in The Hat (the worst). After struggling to recall all the amazing films I’ve been exposed to, I’ve 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

”(Douglas MacArthur). Soldiers are the people who are the most adamant in praying for peace because they are the ones that fight and die. These scenes of death and bravery and desiring peace are displayed in a film by Mel Gibson titled Hacksaw Ridge.

The Western motif is one that has been trivialized, heckled, idealized, “subverted”, and replicated exponentially throughout not only American cinemas but motion pictures world-wide.

Imagine audiences sitting in the movie theater trying to escape from the looming hardships of World War II. They sit and watch as the commercials begin to play when one of the most familiar tunes in animation begins. The commercial presents itself deceptively using the classic Looney Tunes curtain opening and theme music with the simple title of “Bugs Bunny.” The only hint at the true purpose of advertising at this point is the producer listing of the U.S. Treasury Dept.

In his essay “On the Duty of Civil Disobedience”, Thoreau expresses his discontent for the lack American people’s lack of action against the nation’s injustice after his imprisonment for refusing to pay a poll tax. He establishes his argument by first acknowledging that government will always be flawed because it is a human institution and declaring that people should follow their conscience rather than blindly follow any government.
