I always liked movies based on true stories, because it helps me learn even more about American history. The movie was most interesting to me seeing as though it was something I had never really knew to much

Atwood structures her novel through the flashbacks of the main character, Snowman, who survives a horrific virus created by his best friend Crake. She creates a dystopian future where all economic and political power is held by avaricious corporations, which militaristically monitor their employees. Many of these themes and issues which Atwood explores are based on contemporary themes and issues that are relevant in today’s world. Therefore there’re many significant comparison’s drawn between the items in the futuristic world of Oryx & Crake and in, the contemporary world as we know it. Through skilful characterization and techniques Atwood engages the reader’s mind, resulting in a chilling realisation that is not easily forgotten.
The movie Old Glory by Vane Scott was a very education experience for me; I learned many interesting facts from the movie. For example I didn’t know we had 27 flags for the United States before we came to the official one and the variety of flags with their designs was incredible from the imagery and symbolism they had provided. With all the stories Vane Scott had provided and the vivid description it almost makes you feel you were actually their fight for our freedom. My reflection on the movie it was greatly done and well organized with Vane Scott providing his humorous jokes about the flag it really took some of the boring times to the best. Another thing I learned from the movie was how many people and troops contributed to what we have today and how the flags were coming to be.
These documentaries have a great effect on the whole society. They help us to understand our Planet better, respect the jobs of other people and be up to date with technologies. Not to forget the reportages that can be seen on the History channel. These have different themes and are suitable for people above the age of 12 (usually). These reportages are useful for students, as they teach us about history and because they are respectable means of information.
They used this understanding very effectively to engage the audience and tell their story. The plot of this multi-award winning movie was created as a whole. Aristotle believed that these series of events should have a beginning, middle and an end. What he really meant was that each event should flow into each other to make a complete hold. Therefore there should be no abrupt or unnecessary event.
I personally thought the film “The Secret Garden” was great although they could have made it a little more exciting and less boring. A beautiful scene in the film was when Colin Craven the weak little boy actually started to walk with the help of new friends. I would recommend this film to people of all ages and people who like adventure. “Ice Age” is a very funny movie but the opposite to the film the “Secret Garden” because the Secret Garden is about adventure although it does have something in common like
Advices from others are more realistic and reliable yet personal experience enhances your maturity. However, I think that learning through personal experience is preferable because experience is more memorable and indispensable in life. Advice from family and friends are more realistic since it is what they have been through and it helps you to predict the result. Family members such as your parents’ advices are considered valuable because they can give you proper and sincere guidance on every aspect in life through their experiences or common sense. For instant, my parent told me not to play with fire.
“The World’s Fastest Indian” (2005) is an insightful movie directed by the world renowned director, Roger Donaldson. A character I enjoyed in this film was Burt Munro. I enjoyed this character because of his high, uplifting spirit of determinat ion. Burt Munro is important because he reveals the ideas of ‘Manawanui (Perseverance),’ ‘Realising Your Dreams’ and ‘Overcoming Obstacles.’ These ideas are seen through the film techniques: dialogue, lighting and types of camera shots and angles. Burt Munro is a character I enjoyed because of his total dedication and wholeheartedness towards his dreams, living a day at a time.
