The Patriot Movie Vs Movie Analysis

971 Words4 Pages

In this essay I will be analyzing the overall attitude and movie of two movies. Both movies deal with the issue of the American revolutionary war. First one, “1776” a broadway musical transfer to the big screen, directed by Peter H. Hunt and realeased on 1972. Second one, “The Patriot”, more “popcorn” type movie, directed by Roland Emmerich, and realeased on 2000. We discussed 1776 is darker, almost pessimistic movie. Why is it? Because while John Adams and Bejamin Franklin tries to persuade American colonies to support resolution on independence, which is not very successful, in that time Thomas Jefferson is having a hard time with writing the Declaration of Independence and George Washington sends depressing letters, which tell about one millitary disaster after another. And despite all those things slave holders, landowners stands in the way of indepence, when a single “nay” vote can end the question of indepence, Caeser Rodney weakens because of his cancer and has to go back to Delaware leaving his vote for anti-independence George Read to represent Delaware. On the other hand, The Patriot is a bright movie, filled with vivid colors and action. The first reason why is this, because it 's a …show more content…

In both movies a big role plays colors. In 1776 most dominant colors are grey, blue green, they create depresing and pessimistic mood. In The Patriot dominates bright, vivid colors like yellow. Weather plays another big role, in 1776 most of the time it 's raining, sky is grey and you hardly see a sun. In The Patriot most of the days are sunny, weather is nice and warm. The third one, but obviously not the least, is soundtrack. Soundtrack makes a big difference in every movie and creates a mood of the action. The Patriot 's soundtrack is war motivating, uplifting, rich with wide sounds and does solid job to create a mood. Soundtrack in the 1776 is more pessimistic, lyrics reflect how things go in a bad direction and don 't show any

    “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”. Perhaps the most famous line from the Declaration of Independence, written on July 4, 1776. 1776 by David McCullough is about just that: the year 1776, though it does mention events in previous and following years, in American history. McCullough’s purpose for writing the book is very clear: to educate readers about the details of the American Revolutionary War from the view of both sides in and around 1776. McCullough achieves this through mostly logos, but uses ethos and pathos just as well.

    Nathaniel Philbrick, author of Bunker Hill: A City, A Siege, A Revolution, successfully enables his readers to grasp the significance behind Boston and its neighboring cities during the rise of the Revolutionary War. Most Americans have a vague understanding of why events like the Battle of Bunker Hill are relevant and how this particular campaign played a pinnacle role in leading up to the Revolutionary War, but Philbrick does a service to Americans by beautifully illustrating these events from cover to cover. Not only is each occasion intimately detailed, but Philbrick records these instances in a precise and memorable rhythm.

  • The Green Berets Movie Analysis

    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.

  • The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance Film Analysis

    976 Words  | 4 Pages

    Classic western films dominated the screen in the 1960s, with major productions such as The Good, The Bad and the Ugly (1966) and Once Upon a Time in the West (1968) directed by Sergio Leone, The Magnificent Seven (1960) directed by John Sturges, and what is considered a well-known western produced in this area, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962) directed by John Ford and starring John Wayne and James Stewart as the main characters. While The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance meets all the criteria to classify it as a classic western, that being set in a culture structured around codes of honor and personal justice and gunslingers in every scene of the movie, the film lacks many characteristics to classify it as a well-rounded film. Set in the late 1800s, a senator by the name of Ransom Stoddard visits this town in the middle of nowhere with his wife to attend the funeral of one of his old friends Tom Doniphan. Many question the reasoning for the appearance of Ransom because not many know who Tom Doniphan was. With the local newspaper harassing him for answers as to who Tom Doniphan was, Ransom gives in and tells the tale through the use of flashbacks.

In the movie you can see the kind of person each character is like if they were nice or mean. Also in the movie you could see the pain in a slave’s face after they were whipped or if the got their finger cut

    After Jefferson completes listing off his complaints he goes back to painting the colonists up as the victims of the British Empire. Jefferson dictates that “in every stage” of Britain’s oppressions they have asked “in the most humblest of terms” for a repeal of their laws and acts. He uses the image of the colonists as innocent people with the image of Britain as a “prince whose character” is corrupted. This comparison works well to have the reader sympathize with the colonies. Throughout the last section of the declaration of independence Jefferson plays with point of view.
