    Analysis Of The Movie Searching For Bobby Fisher

    Searching for Bobby Fisher is based on the true life story of Josh Waitzkin, a seven year old boy, who fell in love with the game of chess. Although this film isn’t just about Josh’s life, he’s always being compared to the chess genius Bobby Fisher. For many chess players Bobby Fischer is as much a rule model to the game of chess as Roberto Clemente is to the game of baseball. Josh Waitzkin is faced with multiple challenges that he must over come to become one of the best chess players of all time. Just like in reality everyone is faced with challenges that they must overcome, within this movie I find that Josh Waitzkin and I have many similarities and also many differences.…

    Unbroken Movie Analysis

    In the movie Unbroken directed by Angelina Jolie, there are many obvious differences from the actual factual events that took place. A lot of important details about Louis Zamperini’s life were left out in the movie. There are many reasons for this, which are arguably very important. The three biggest things that were left out of the movie are, the realization that Louis came to about his faith in God, Japanese guards actually treated Louis very well when he first was captured, and Louis actually came face to face with Adolf Hitler. All three of these things were left out of the movie for specific reasons, which Hollywood thought would boost ratings and amount of viewers.…

    Amistad Film Analysis

    Amistad, directed by Steven Spielberg, displays the fierce determination of 53 African abductees and their compelling desire to return home. Led by Cinqué (or Sengbe), a man longing to see his wife and son in Sierra Leone again, the men aboard the ship La Amistad rebelled against the Spanish slave traders who guarded them from escape. Using sugar cane knives stolen from cargo aboard the ship, the Africans defeated the gun-wielding Spaniards.

Even as the native Africans adjusted to an entirely different life in America, their African identity still remained apparent throughout the film.…

    I was very hesitant about going to see the play Steel Magnolias. I had previously seen the film, and I did not feel the play could live up to the expectations to the movie. My ideas about the play dramatically changed after I saw the production. There were a few main points of the play that I found to be important and paid special attention to. The play itself, the set, actresses, and the reaction of the audience were the topics I felt were the most important.…
