Abraham Lincoln was born in a log cabin on February 12‚ 1809 in Hardin County‚ Kentucky. Much of his childhood was a struggle; his mother dying when he was just ten years old‚ and with his father being a frontiersman‚ money was scarce. He had to strive for a comfortable living‚ and he spent his days working on a farm and keeping a store.

more than he expected. A reoccurring theme that Stone threaded throughout the film was greed. Stone uses Gordon Gekko as a vehicle to symbolize greed‚ corruption‚ abuse of power‚ and the evil in society. In one of the rising action scenes in the movie‚ Gekko gives a speech about how greed is good and how greed is essential to making America a successful country. As a viewer what resonated with me the most was the statement “greed is good”‚ which is really thought provoking because greed is a subjective

He no longer sees his patients as real‚ even as he’s saving their lives; he no longer sees his and son at all. More than perhaps any movie before it‚ The Doctor captures the styles and attitudes of contemporary physicians‚ especially surgeons: the cool scientific bravado‚ the gallows humor‚ the abstracted sense of ’’caring’’ that allows some doctors to view their patients as subtly inferior

Film Analysis - Macbeth (2006) For my film analysis‚ I was fortunate that there many different adaptations of the play Macbeth by William Shakespeare. Most of them are set in the period of the play‚ like Roman Polanski’s 2002 version‚ which I also viewed and found to be disappointing at best.

Analysis Before entering his second presidential election‚ Abraham Lincoln addressed a war torn nation to persuade the North and South to come back together‚ while regarding the South’s fault.
