Says/Does Analysis Essay In preparing for this essay, I came across a great website called American Rhetoric. It includes some of the greatest speeches from many popular American movies including The Shawshank Redemption, Shindler’s List, Remember the Titans, and Rocky Balboa. However, one movies on the list that immediately caught my eye was Steven Spielburg’s famous war-drama Saving Private Ryan(1998).

Title: Challenging the Law of Courage and Heroic Identification in Tim O'Brien's If I Die in a Combat Zone and The Things They Carried Author(s): Carl S. Horner [(essay date spring-summer 1999) In the following essay, Horner maintains that O'Brien challenges conventional ideas about courage and heroism in If I Die in a Combat Zone and The Things They Carried.] In his autobiographic text, If I Die in a Combat Zone: Box Me up and Ship Me Home, and in his novel, The Things They Carried, Tim O'Brien questions the presumed sanctity of the oldest male law. Courage and masculinity, so-called "professionalism," the "old order" (If I Die 192), grace under pressure, or the collective male psyche could, O'Brien writes, blind a man into stupidity during the Vietnam War. Not that he could always rely on published information or even rationally determine a wise course in the call of duty, but a citizen had the obligation to discover whether business leaders, politicians, and military officers had moral, legal, and therefore truly evident causes for sanctioning violence in Vietnam. Blind or obsessive duty for the sake of honor, God, and country might be bravery to a fault, or nothing more than "manliness, crudely idealized" (If I Die 142).

That's when Darth Vader (imagine James Earl Jones' voice) tells Luke Skywalker: "No. I am your father." Of these various points, the most important by far, and the one that can be taken to stand for the whole, is that Lucas decided only at a relatively late stage that Darth Vader is Luke’s father. The "I am your father" moment—which will play a large role in this review, and which has analogues in many fields, including law—is one in which Lucas took Star Wars on a fresh narrative path, one that fit well (enough) with what had gone before, but that cast an entirely new light on it, and that was essentially unanticipated by Lucas himself. So how does this mesh with constitutional law?
