    History vs Hollywood: Gone with the Wind

    Gone With the Wind is a classic movie that has been loved by many Americans over many generations. In 1939, the film won eight Academy Awards. It is a great love story set in the American Civil War and the period of Reconstruction afterwards. Told from the viewpoint of the South, the Confederacy, it is more of a dramatic love story than a war movie. David O. Selznick produced the film and he hired two southerners as advisors for accuracy, Wilbur G. Kurtz and Susan Myrick. With their help, Gone With the Wind is accurate in its portrayal of life for civilians in 1860s America, events, and the background details, yet inaccurate in its portrayal of race relations.…

    Robert Guillaume – the Rough Ride of a Smooth Actor

    Actor Robert Guillaume is a man without regrets. Well, maybe one. "I always wanted to be able to play the piano & never succeeded. I was a total bust. I had an inability to practice, and when I did practice, no amount of practice made me play better or sound better. And I blame the Catholic Church for screwing up my sense of music." The Catholic Church? But isn't the Church known for its music? Guillaume elaborates.…

    History V. Hollywood In The 1920's

    History Vs. Hollywood: The Roaring Twenties was a time of jazz and flappers and good times, however, other aspects of the twenties life were arduous and troublesome. The youth of America was lied to by the government and their parents during the 1910s and World War I. With the reintroduction of the car, the youth rebelled against their parents and standards previously created. Other minorities also began to change. The women of the 1920’s wanted more rights, which they received when Congress amended 19th Amendment to the Constitution in 1920. When women gained the right to vote, they had more freedom than ever. Another aspect people do not think about in the Roaring Twenties was the innovation of the radio. The radio connected the disillusioned youth, women, and all minorities and the majorities together. The radio was enjoyed by nearly every household, and it also entertained them(Sterling). In 2002, director Rob Marshall combined the important topics of the 1920’s into the musical titled…

    Analysis Of Robin Williams No Matter What People Tell You, Words And Ideas Can Change The World

    According to Robin Williams, “No matter what people tell you, words and ideas can change the world.” The world may be a good place for some people while it can be not that good for others, it depends from the perspective of each person. Many people can find themselves really happy and satisfied with their lives. On the other hand, several people might agree that the world would be a better place for everyone if some factors were changed, maybe some services, governments, economy, etc. But, what is really interesting is that everything in this world is what it is because of the people in general. Humans are a huge and powerful group that is responsible for every single action that is going on. Considering this, another problem is originated,…
