Olympus has fallen essay

“Olympus Has Fallen” written by Creighton Rothenberger and Katrin Benedikt, and directed by Antoine Fuqua is an action movie about terrorism attacks from North Koreans to Washington and the White House. Starring Gerard Butler, Mike Banning is a guard for The President Benjamin Asher played by Aaron Eckhart. There are 3 important points to discuss. Within the theme in the movie, there is an advantage and a disadvantage; the good one, as the first point, is that it shows the abilities and strategies to attack and to survive. Also, it exposes the loyalty and betrayal that people can have. The bad one, as the second point, is that it can cause fear to the people because a war between United States and North Korea is something that is about to happen in real life. Outside the theme, as the third and last point, the movie has good music, sounds, visuals, and great acting. Within the theme of the movie, there are too many great things. There are good strategies by North Korean, and the way they cornered United States; everything was planned without anyone knowing. They have their own signs to do the next steps and a lot of them are dressing like normal people. But the guard’s abilities, courage and even more important, loyalty, are the only hope to save the president and United States. The movie shows how these qualities are enough to fight when they are made with a good intention. However, there’s one disadvantage in the movie: the fear in real life. Unfortunately, a war between North Korea and United States is about to happen or at least that’s what they want us to think. The violence and the murders in the movie cause fear to the audience because right now Americans are very sensitive about the threat from North Korea. Obviously that is not the way the terrorists would attack because it is too perfect and planed; and in “Olympus has fallen” no one threated anyone. The effects in the movie are good; not the best
