Defeat's Uncovering Depicted In The Movie Jaws
My overall impression of the events is that I think what all the crew members and captains had to go through was really hard and miserable. They had to go through times when they could have gotten eaten up by a big shark or died of thirst and hunger. The way how Hunter Scott used the movie Jaws when Captain Quint tells the story of the sinking of the Indianapolis was just a cool way to learn about the sinking. Hunter Scott had a good imagination when he wanted to start the project and the interviews. Captain Mcvay’s life after the sinking was really hard and not necessary for him to get hate messages in the mail about how it was his fault that a lot of the crew members died.

When the SOS messages went through the boss shouldn’t have been drunk so that he could call for rescue boats to go out and find where the crew was. Captain McVay shouldn’t be blamed for the sinking of the

When the survivors had a reunion to talk about all their lives and how they have been doing over the past years which was a long time ago. After 20 years after the sinking Captain McVay commits Suicide because of all the hate and Christmas cards that he receives in the mail which are filled with letters of hate. On the journey to clear Captain McVay’s name Hunter Scott gave a speech about his testimony and how he was brought to the subject of the Indianapolis which persuaded the senators and was really persuasive. I think that the Captain shouldn’t have got accused for the sinking, if they didn’t accuse him then he wouldn’t have killed himself. When the Captain was exonerated for the loss of the ship and the loss of the crew made everyone feel like they were not having to deal with a lot of stress if he would be guilty or not. The sinking made me feel like I was on the edge of my seat the whole entire

    The sinking of the USS Indianapolis was a horrible event, which killed hundreds of soldiers, and left hundreds floating adrift in the sea with swarms of sharks circling around them. Captain McVay, the captain of the Indianapolis, was charged with negligence. Truly, Captain McVay did his job with what he had, and should not be the scapegoat for the navy. Generals, Lieutenants, and Commodores are all partially responsible for the sinking due to negligence, miss communication, and important top-secret intelligence. Captain McVay did nothing wrong, and did a great job as Captain with the knowledge and information that he was aware of. Inconsistent communication and information that were out of McVay’s control are…

    “I felt such sympathy for the real life Antwone Fisher”, says John Stone, as he speaks for most people. This story hits home for a lot of people, and after the fact they realize that this was based on a true story. Despite being a true story, John Stone points out the movie has “aimless pace, wooden acting and is emotionally exploitative”. “The movie suffers from its pacing and ambitious reach”, states Mr. Stone, and he goes on to explain it was “predictability timed and {had} cut flashbacks” even though the movie was moving. John Stone was simply wrong whenDenzel Washington was “unable to summon that creativity and imagination to serve his direction”. Denzel Washington played the part of a strict senior officer that’s highly educated and well respected.…

    According to Corporal Harrell (Phillips, 2017, August 20), two torpedoes struck the ship in the night, the explosion created a power outage, and fire was the only source of light. For four and half days the crew was floating in the ocean trying to survive. During the four days, crewmembers would lose their lives in the ocean. Some died from drowning, dehydration, starvation, or sharks. The crew tried to stay together floating in a group but throughout the day, sharks would eat them. The life jackets lacked buoyancy so the crewmembers consistently swam until they drowned. Hunger and starvation made crewmembers hallucinate until losing their lives searching for food or water under the ocean. Finally, on the fourth day a U.S. military aircraft on a routine mission saw and reported the crew in the ocean. Eventually, the destroyer, USS Cecil Doyle and the aircraft rescued the USS Indianapolis (CA 35) crew. Now that the sacrifice and service of the crew has been discussed, this paper will now discuss command…

    The level of detail that is included is incredible, and although there is no traditional 'story-line' to keep the reader hooked, Hal doesn't even try to dress it up - it's a very well-written, factual overview of the situation, getting a lot of details across very quickly. I like this style of writing, as there is no drama involved with it, its just very accurate and to the point. The list of 'important' personnel is very interesting, and I have already bookmarked it - I'm sure it'll be very, very useful later on.…

    This horrible situation could have easily been prevented from happening if the authorized personals had used the critical thinking skills while making the decisions. If the crew members of the Exxon Valdez had adopted critical thinking, they could have prevented the accident from taking place. Similarly, if the procedures were followed and the equipments were issued and properly maintained with the appropriate crew size on board, the accident would never have taken…

    Analysis of the film Jaws

    • 2872 Words
    • 12 Pages

    The beginning of the film Jaws starts of with the first attack. This scares the viewer from the very start and excites them, wanting to know what happens next and who else will be victims. The first victim, a girl, is attacked at night, so this would mean it would have been dark. This is done for two reasons, one the dark is scary to everyone as no one can see what is coming for them, or what it out there, and that links into the second reason, so we don’t see the shark, leaving a sense of mystery. The camera shot changes from being at eye level with the girl to the point of view of the shark. Being at eye level with the girl makes the person watching feel as if they are in the film itself, and can make the person feel more fear as they also know that there is something fast approaching because the shot keeps changing to the point of view of the shark, looking up at the girl swimming. When the shark attacks the girl it keeps the shot at eye level with the girl making the viewer feel as if it could be them. Then the girl is dragged under the water right in front of the camera, making it feel as if it is close to the viewer but also confirming that the girl defiantly has gone under the water. Then in the next part of the movie where they find the body one the beach, the viewer is the last to see the body. This holds suspense and makes the viewer want to see it more as they see everyone else see the body of the girl and reel back in horror, but also makes them not want to see it, as they can see it will be gruesome. When the report is being filled out for the death there is a close up shot of ‘shark attack’ being typed, this is the first time there is some confirmation that it was a shark that killed the girl, and also it makes the viewer look out for a shark in all the other scenes to come.…

    "Cast Away" is a fantastic film that has many hidden meanings beneath the surface. Before being analysed, it seems like it's simply about a man who experiences an adventurous journey after his plane crashes into the Pacific. After more thought was put into it, many symbolic meanings that demonstrated his human nature, mainly consisting his drive of survival, faith, hope, and morals, was revealed. I am able to arrive at the conclusion that yes, I do agree with the quote, "Cast Away delivers a strong message of fear, survival, faith and hope."…
