The Legion Essay

1061 Words5 Pages

The Legion
An average movie but scores a lot on its ORIGINALITY!
The Legion is story about Michael- the only archangel who ignored the order of God to destroy humanity. As the movie points out, God has used a flood to wipe out mankind last time. Now the execution is to be carried out by the archangels. Everybody was expected to follow the order except Michael who still has faith and affection with mankind. Michael disobeyed the order and comes to earth to protect the last hope of humanity- a child.
Setting/Cinematography
The film’s setting for me was good but can be improve. I’ve watched the movie “The Book of Eli” first and the movie sets a very high standard in terms of cinematography and plot. The main location of the story was staged on the centre of the dessert- a temporary shelter for lost and exhausted travellers who once in a while struggled on their respective journey. The beginning of the movie was stimulating especially when Michael came down from the heaven to seek for the child who is yet to be born.
Movie Plot and Characters

Based on the scripts God is so sick of humanity and decides to exterminate it accordingly but instead of doing it in a blink of an eye he decided to send a flock of angels to do the job. I believe that God can never be wrong because he is perfect but in the movie, God is wrong, that is why rebellion is needed thru Michael- the rebellious archangel with intention of saving the mankind at the expense of dishonouring God’s order. In the end, Michael is redeemed by God in spite of his rebellion because according to him he gives him what he needed and not what he asked for on the latter part of conversation with

    The civil war redefined what it meant to be an American because the nation was divided. The civil war redefined to be an American because it changed laws and american’s were also divided over slavery. Nobody ever helped Sojourner Truth get into carriages,over mud puddles or even gives her any best place. Frederick Douglass told others that they would be free when you are twenty-one during the civil war, but he said that he is a slave for life. Paul Revere quotes said On a shadowy something far away,where the river widens to meet the bay,a line of black,that bends and floats on the rising tide,like a bridge of boats so it basically has something to do with the civil war or the fact that he feels bad for the people who are slaves and need help.

    The three movies – Platoon, Full Metal Jacket, and The Green Berets – are all movies based on the same historical event – the Vietnam war and US’s involvement in it. Yet, they all presented us with different and narrative point of view and authority figures in order to paint their individual values. The movies’ most obvious differences lie within the choice of their narrative point of view. The Green Beret, the earliest one, was directed by John Wayne and he also starred in the leading role. Wayne’s authority and influence in the 1960s was similar to the influence of Tom Hanks in the 21st Century.

  • A League Of Their Own Film Analysis

    995 Words  | 4 Pages

    The film I am analyzing, A League of Their Own, would be categorized as a narrative film about the growth of women’s baseball teams during World War II. It follows the dramatized story of Dottie Hinson’s time in her baseball league and their struggles to make women’s baseball be taken seriously; however, the film focuses more on Dottie’s personal goals and relationships. With the added personal challenge of Dottie’s increasing rivalry with her sibling, Kit, as well as the uncaring attitude of their manager, Jimmy Dugan, Dottie’s tale is filled with tension and emotion that is shaped to draw the audience in. To showcase the drama of the film and to help the audience become attached to the stories of the characters, the movie uses flashbacks, comedy, and interpersonal drama to manufacture the story of our main character, Dottie, more interesting and engaging to the audience. As is easily evident simply by the summary of the movie, A League of Their Own is a nonfiction, narrative film made for entertainment and drama, and uses the time period as the circumstances of the story relevant to the audience.
