The housing, food, and living conditions were outrageous. In 1945, the exclusion order is repealed, and the Japanese are finally allowed to return to their homes.The United States grants an apology in 1988, by spending 1.6 billion dollars to the reparations for Japanese survivors. When the Emperor was Divine is a novel about a Japanese family who lives in Berkley, California during early 1940s.

Bowling for Columbine, a documentary written and directed by Mr Michael Moore in 2002 after the horrific shooting at Columbine High School, on April 20th 1999. Not long after the shooting, Americans were quick to blame violent video games, movies and heavy metal music artists. Mr Moore believes that this is not the reason, but believes that it was caused by America's relaxed gun laws. Through the use of technical, written and audio codes Moore did an excellent job at portraying his negative views about America's gun laws and how racist America is. In this documentary Mr More used an audio code known as a voice over, one example is where he showed us a film of buildings being blown up and saying over the top of this clip “and the president ordered the bombing of another country we couldn’t pronounce”.
Contrary to his unwavering independence in technique and style Spike Lee has taken on the challenge of film remake. Remaking a movie is always tricky, particularly when the original has an already strong following. The 2013 remake of the Past Chan-wook’s classic, Old Boy had Lee’s critics wondering why he engaged in such a dark film. When Chan-wook’s Old Boy hit theatres in 2003, it was praised for its unique structure, it’s magnificent and action packed fight scenes, and it’s visual flair, making Spike Lee a very bold choice to adapt the film for an American audience. It’s not a shot for shot remake of the original or the 2003 version, but like Chan-wook’s version, it’s graphic so don’t watch this on a fall stomach.
While many people may have thought that this film was just a beautiful love story between Rick and Ilsa, most did not know that its true meaning was much more significant than that. This was an early war film released in 1942 when citizens all over Europe were fleeing from the Nazis. At this time, most Americans were not too excited about the idea of entering the war to help the fight against the Nazis. Hollywood noticed this and they ended up making Casablanca, which was a pro-interventionist film to try and get Americans to support the war. Throughout this paper I will explain how Casablanca was a pro-interventionist film and how its main character, American nightclub owner Rick, changed his ways.
The classic anti-war film All Quiet on the Western Front (1930), directed by Lewis Milestone, has been restored by the Library of Congress Motion Picture Conservation Centre. Based on the best-selling novel by Erich Maria Remarque, the book and film tell the story of a group of German students who volunteer to fight in the 1914-18 War. It is not a story of heroes, but of ordinary young men trapped in a terrestrial hell; a bitter critique of war that resonates as powerfully today as it did before the next ‘war to end all wars’. All Quiet on the Western Front was not the only film inspired by the First World War. One of the most famous, Abel Gance’s J’accuse (whose title echoes the notorious Dreyfus affair of 1894) appeared in 1919.
bush is a bad frame, but it seemed he was so out of 'wack'making this documentary that it either made those who hated bush, hate him even more, and those who like him, support him even more. All it did was increase Americans feelings no matter what. Now most of what he said was true, the location of George bush at the time of 9/11 bombings, the relationship between his family and the bin ladins, the bombings the America's preformed on iraq and Afghanistan, all of this was true but it was the context that was not shown and how it was presented that created this film. The result of this just unsettled America and created more issues that solved anything at all, many articles and reports where written in hateful emotion towards Michael Moore such as, 'Michael Moore is a big stupid fat white man' by David t.hardy and Jason Clarke and many more where that came

Since Muslims and Arabs originally come from the Eastern countries Orientalism fits here. Orientalism fits importantly with China, Japan, and other oriental countries. If you look back in history and find that December 7, 1941 the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. Just as the few members of the extremists of Muslims who attacked the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, American's seem to judge the group as a whole as threats. We tend to forget that not all Muslim, Arabs or Asian's feel such animosity towards Americans.
In the poster it also sights how the ships are being sunk and destroyed. This propaganda was very encouraging to the civilians of the United States. It was encouraging because the propaganda displayed how the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. Also it laid out one of the most well known American cartoon. Since the propaganda became a no brainer to many Americans, Citizens immediately began to apply in the army.
The bombing of Hiroshima, Japan on August 6th 1945 had a phenomenal and generally good effect on the world. Not only did it bring an end to the most horrific war the world has seen, but it has had unexpected benefits over the next 64 years. Immediately after the bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, World War Two came to its conclusion more quickly and with less casualties than it were ever thought possible. Japan was a very patriotic and militaristic power, and the American generals knew that any sort of invasion would have been absolute bloodshed. Casualty predictions for an invasion varied widely, but were extremely high for both sides.
