    Liam O Flaherty's The Sniper

    War has no boundaries like age, family, and time of day. In the story,”The Sniper” by Liam O’Flaherty a sniper is stationed on a rooftop near O’Connell Bridge and is tasked to “take out” any hostiles. While staking out, the sniper got shot in the arm by a fellow sniper and is faced many challenges in order to survive. Despite the Sniper’s skill, the sniper is realizing how war shows no mercy. When O’Flaherty wrote,“He paused for a moment, considering whether he should risk a smoke. . . He decided to take the risk . . . Almost immediately, a bullet flattened itself against the parapet of the roof.” Because war waits for no one, the sniper had to consider the consequences of smoking before he smoked. This shows how brutal war is, someone can’t…

    American Sniper Film Analysis

    Clint Eastwood’s critical, box office and Academy Awards juggernaut tells the tale of Chris Kyle (Bradley Cooper), a prolific, er, American sniper, and his endeavours on and off the battlefield during the Iraq war. It’s a heavily lethargic adaptation of a heavily controversial book about a heavily divisive ‘American Hero’. Not to say that the flick itself is wildly patriotic – though the ending tries its best to disprove that – but nor is it an anti-war film, as director Eastwood haplessly attempts to argue. Which is where American Sniper’s greatest fault, among many faults, lies; it’s a film that is too afraid to carry any political heft, any commentary that would make the viewing experience worthwhile. As a result, the whole point of the film is rendered null.…

    The title alone sums the movie up perfectly and drawing out all suspicion or notions that this is not just some war movie, instead more of noble story of America's own navy SEAL Chris Kyle and one of the us military's most deadly sniper with a confirmed kill count of 160 souls and over 200 claimed kills .

    My Men are My Heroes

    This book is about 1stSgt. Kasal’s life leading up to his most honorable moment while in the battle of Fallujah. The book starts out by telling how 1stSgt. Kasal grew up in Afton, Iowa. He grew up on farm like most other families in his hometown. But with farming becoming obsolete in the shadow of large corporations, Brad Kasal already knew by junior high that he didn’t want to slave on a farm to barely scrape by like his father. He already had the Marine Corps in his sights. January 1984, Kasal left his hometown of Afton, Iowa and got a plane destined for MCRD, San Diego. Kasal shined right away and became a squad leader and was meritoriously promoted to Private First Class by graduation and instructed that he was going to indeed be a grunt like he wanted. After graduating as the honor graduate in School of Infantry, Kasal was stationed on Camp Pendleton with 2nd battalion, 1st marine regiment. He was a PFC in Weapons Co. as a Dragon gunner. Two months after checking in with his unit, Kasal was again meritoriously promoted. Kasal’s first deployed to the Western Pacific on a Marine Expeditionary Unit in June 1986. Shortly after he would win an NCO of the quarter award and once again get another meritorious promotion. Kasal throughout his career would consistently pick up meritorious promotions all the way to Sergeant Major. By March of 2003 when Operation Iraqi Freedom started, Kasal was 1stSgt of Kilo Co. 3d Battalion, First Marine Regiment. While still 1stSgt of Kilo, they were part of the second attempt to take back Fallujah in November of 2004. The mission was to take back Fallujah by getting rid of any insurgents left in the city.

    300 by Frank Miller

    300, which was based on the graphic novel by Frank Miller’s, is a film that still has many anxious people awaiting to see it. It was directed by Zack Snynder and is considered by many a spin off of Dawn of the Dead. This movie contains nonstop action with so much blood that it may be to much for someone to view in one sitting. 300 can be characterized through a suffering plot, unrealistically portrayed strength of warriors in battle, jaded dialect, and it’s mind-blowing graphical images.…

    Citizen Kane by Orson Wells

    By many, Citizen Kane is one of the greatest films ever made. Orson Wells, at age 25, directed, produced, and starred in this film. Citizen Kane is a memorable film for countless reasons. The film brought about controversy because it fictionalized the life of William Randolph Hearst, a powerful newspaper publisher. The film draws remarkable parallels with his life and his relationship with his mistress. There is also speculation that the film is loosely based on Wells' life as well. This movie tells the fascinating story of the life and death of Charles Foster Kane, a narcissistic newspaper runner, politician, and a wealthy millionaire. What makes this movie spectacular is not only the acting of the actors, but the symbolism and cinematic effects. The techniques used by the cinematographer brought this film to life. This is what sets Citizen Kane apart from other films.…

    Big Hero 6, By Don Hall And Chris Williams

    Throughout time, people have often looked at ancient Greek stories as the embodiment of the traditional “hero’s journey,” and by doing so, we often forget that most books, TV shows, and movies around us today are still centered around the traditional Greek tale. In 2014, a film directed by Don Hall and Chris Williams was released: Big Hero 6 (“Big”). This film is a prime example of how the traditional hero’s journey is still used in modern culture. Big Hero 6 is a futuristic film about a boy named Hiro in a town called San Fransokyo. It follows his journey as he leaves a life of bot-fighting to apply for a nearby robotics college that his brother attends.…

    Unforgiven By Clint Eastwood

    Clint Eastwood’s Unforgiven juxtaposes the beauty of the western frontier with the carnage the people living inside cause. Eastwood conveys the beauty of the west through a series of breathtaking establishing shots throughout Unforgiven most notably to begin and end the film. In doing so, Eastwood conveys the ability of nature to contain the carnage inside of William Munny (Clint Eastwood). In theory, the isolation the beginning and ending establishing shots convey protect the world from the violence Munny’s capable of expressing. Therefore, the lack of human interaction outside his family keeps Munny from being the killer he used to embody; Eastwood allows the beauty of nature to soak up Munny’s sins to protect the western frontier from his…

    Desperation by Stephen King

    Desperation, a recent Stephen King novel, is not just a book, but an experience that leaves the reader frightened, paranoid, and questioning his moral beliefs. Picture, if you will, a lone, crazed Nevada policeman who pulls over vehicles on a lonely desert highway and forcefully takes away their occupants. Whichever of them he doesn't kill immediately, he locks up in the jail of the small desolate town of Desperation. Among those captured are the vacationing Carver family, whose RV is sabotaged on its way to Arizona. Already incarcerated is Tom Billingsley, a once well-known member of the now slaughtered community of Desperation. They are soon joined by formerly famous, currently old and overweight writer, Johnny Marinville, who is riding across the country on his Harley-Davidson gathering material for a book of short stories. How to escape Desperation isn't the only unanswered question, though. How could and why would one man single-handedly murder the population of an entire town? How does he have such control over the minds of the animals? Why are they locked up when he could have killed them like every one else? Whatever it is that possesses the body of officer Collie Entraigan can't last forever, though. After several days his body is falling apart at the seams, and he is bleeding from every orifice. Weirder yet, he is growing several inches a day and is bound to burst soon. Will he? Or are the occupants of the local Desperation jail just backup bodies that the possessor will use when it wears out its current one? If so then what is it? More importantly, who's next?<br><br>An intriguing aspect of this book is that there is no real protagonist. King leaves the reader in constant suspense. Frequently changing views, the story follows one character or group of characters for one chapter and then in the next chapter, follows another, often intertwining the time sequences. The overlapping action is interrupted only by flashbacks that allow the reader to sympathize…
