Only because he is homosexual, he has to feel this pain and he died 7.june 1954. Just before one moment he is hero, and now he becomes a criminal.

    However, the level of historical accuracy in the two films varies. Patton, which is a biographical war film about General George Patton during World War II, generally portrays the events and characters in a relatively accurate way. However, it does take some liberties with the timeline of certain events. On the other hand, The Imitation Game, which tells the story of Alan Turing and his work cracking the Enigma code, takes more liberties with historical facts. The film simplifies and dramatizes certain aspects of Turing's life and his relationship with his colleagues.

  • Moral Vigilantism In Alan Moore's V For Vendetta

    723 Words  | 3 Pages

    Alan Moore brings forth a morally ambivalent protagonist in V for Vendetta, wherein a mysterious hero by the name of V exhibits moral vigilantism to combat the bigoted and totalitarian government that has overtaken London. According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, a hero is a “person admired for achievements and noble qualities” or “one who shows great courage,” a definition redolent of V’s valiant actions to overthrow the oppressive Norsefire regime, which serves as the villain that “opposes the hero.” To achieve his means of freeing society from the villain Norsefire’s tyranny, V makes a series of ethically equivocal decisions, including murder, torture, and revenge. However, despite utilizing violence in his endeavors, V is indeed a hero due to his vigilantism opposing corruption and recalcitrant actions responding to Norsefire’s breach of societal obligation in properly administering a justice system. Moore’s characterization of authoritative figures within Norsefire advocates their role as villains due to their immoral motivations behind being officials; V’s opposition and movement to end their reign brings him forth as a hero and insurgent of society.
