And indeed he was successful and he was able to tell his team what to do and his team followed. There were a lot of fight scenes as he tries to win against the bad guys and despite of many obstacles he remained calmed, always thinking of the next step and never giving up hope. The president was indeed a remarkable leader because of how he handled the situation.

    This is a movie about the Battle of Mogadishu or commonly known as Black Hawk down. It started on the 3rd of October with what was supposed to be a quick “snatch and grab” operation. The operation was only to last thirty minutes. Under the command of Capt. Mike Steele they were to insert soldiers to capture two top lieutenants of a warlord Mohamed Farrrah Aidid. Things went terribly wrong when a black hawk was shot down by an RPG (rocket propelled grenade). It then became a rescue mission to save the soldiers from the crash site. The next thing they knew there were hundreds of Somali gunmen. They were now fighting for their lives. In the process of fighting their way to the crash site another black hawk was shot down. Now Rangers and Delta Force were fighting their way to two crash sites. In the process they secure the first crash site and are blocked in almost every direction. At a certain point in time two Delta Force snipers volunteered to cover the second crash site until a convoy could help get the downed pilot CW4 Michael Durant and in turn gave their lives defending him. They fought through the night facing thousands of militia, women and children. On the morning of the second day they secured the second crash site while the pilot CW4 Durant was captured. Then was the move to get out of the city alive. A convoy made up of UN and 10th Mountain Div. were to extract the injured soldiers. With not enough room in the vehicles the remaining soldiers had to get out of the city on foot. Running through the city running low on ammunition and energy they made it to the stadium in the UN Safe Zone.…

    However, in contrast, Oliver Stone once again neglects to include another important element into his movie The World Trade Center. With two hours of dialog and one shot of a falling building, not once is there to be seen an American Flag before or after the collapse of the Twin Towers. The film is more like watching a script from "All in the Family" because more time and attention is given to the police officers personal lives and families than any details of showing the gripping horror and effects of 9/11 on all of New York City. One would have anticipated, at least, that there would have been that touching, heartfelt, and solace moment from the famous photograph of the three firefighters raising the American Flag on Ground Zero to have been included in the movie but sadly, it was not.…

    American Sniper Review

    • 527 Words
    • 2 Pages

    “The American Sniper” by Chris Kyle is an account of the deadliest American sniper ever, called “the devil” by the enemies he hunted and “the legend” by his Navy SEAL brothers. From 1999 to 2009, U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle recorded the most career sniper kills in United States military history. The Pentagon has officially confirmed more than 150 of Kyle's kills (the previous American record was 109). Iraqi insurgents feared Kyle so much they named him al-Shaitan (“the devil”) and placed a bounty on his head. Kyle earned legendary status among his fellow SEALS, Marines, and U.S. Army soldiers, whom he protected with deadly accuracy from rooftops and stealth positions. Kyle presents the gripping and unforgettable accounts of his extraordinary battlefield experiences through paper and pen and now ranks to many people as one of the greatest war memoirs of all time but to few a man representing immorality and death. Chris Kyle was a native Texan, born in Odessa, Texas, and was the son of a Sunday school teacher and a deacon. Kyle started his passion for shooting after his father bought him his first gun at 8 years old, a bolt-action .30-06 Springfield rifle. Later on and after school, Kyle became a professional bronco rodeo rider, but his profession ended abruptly when he severely injured his arm. After his arm healed, he went to a military recruiting office, interested in joining the United States Marine Corps (USMC). A Navy recruiter told him about the Navy SEALS. Kyle signed up, but was rejected because of the pins in his arm. A little while later, he received a call and he had the chance to go to BUD/S (Basic Underwater Demolition SEAL school), and finally joining the United States Navy in 1999. After 9/11, he was thrust onto the front lines of the War on Terror, and soon found his calling as a world-class sniper who performed best under fire. In comparison no military organization could operate if it respected human moral independence, that is, the…

    32 minutes before the attack, on American Airlines flight 11, hijackers used their weapons to control the plane. 9 minutes from the disaster, the only meaningful response to the hijack was from a Boston Air Traffic controller, who immediately bypasses noble protocols and contacts the military directly. 3 minutes from the event, authorities were struggling to find American Airlines flight 11, Betty Ong was struggling to pass information to those on the ground, yet that all went nowhere. Only seconds from disaster, air force colonel Bob Marr scrambles to send two F-15 fighter jets, but it was too late. Due to the National Command Center not responding in time, four hijacked planes were crashed and killed…

    Lincoln Movie Review

    • 641 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The movie Lincoln, directed by the infamous Steven Spielberg, is based on the life of Abraham Lincoln and his efforts to pass the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which would abolish slavery completely. With the assumption that the Civil War would end in one month, however, Abraham feels it it is imperative to pass the amendment by the end of January, thus removing any possibility that slaves who have already been freed may be re-enslaved. Radical Republicans believe the amendment will be defeated, due to the support of it not being completely assured, since they prioritize the issue of ending the war. Even if all of them are ultimately brought on board, the amendment will still require the support of several Democratic congressmen if it is to pass. With dozens of Democrats having just lost their re-election campaigns in the fall of 1864, some of Lincoln's advisers believe that he should wait until the new Republican-heavy Congress is seated, presumably giving the amendment an easier road to passage. Lincoln, however, remains adamant about having the amendment in place and the issue of slavery settled before the war is concluded and the southern States reintegrated into the Union.…

    Oliver Stone’s JFK (1991) does an excellent job depicting Jim Garrison’s breakdown of what he thought happened during the assassination of JFK. The scene itself incorporates Garrison’s narration (played by Kevin Costner), fictional reenactments of the JFK assassination and real footage to bring home the logic Garrison was arguing. Through aspects of continuity editing, audio continuity, and complexity editing, Stone makes sure that all the pieces fall in line to create a coherent 4 minute scene.…
