    Facing hardships, problems, or obstacles shouldn’t discourage one from completing their task or job. Many of authors usually put their characters through tough complications to show the reader that no matter what happens; anyone could pull through.

He meets General Zaroff and gets thrown into a huge hunting game, where his life is on the line.

  • A Summary of The Hunt for Red October by Tom Clancy

    674 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Hunt for Red October takes place during the Cold War, causing much distrust and deceit. Marko Alexandrovich Ramius, a Lithuanian submarine commander in the Soviet Navy and son of a prominent Soviet politician, intends to defect to the United States with his officers on board the experimental nuclear submarine Red October. The Red October is a Typhoon-class vessel equipped with a revolutionary stealth propulsion system that makes audio detection by sonar extremely difficult. Immediately evident to Jack Ryan, a high-level CIA analyst, and the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Red October is a strategic weapon that is capable of sneaking its way into American waters and launching nuclear missiles with little or no warning. The strategic value of Red October was apparent to Ramius, but other factors drove his decision to defect. His wife, Natalia, died at the hands of an incompetent doctor who went unpunished because he was the son of a Soviet political member. Her untimely death, combined with Ramius' long-standing dissatisfaction with the cruelty of Soviet rule and his fear of Red October's destabilizing effect on world affairs, ended his tolerance of the Soviet system.

  • Analysis Of The Movie ' War Room '

    1042 Words  | 3 Pages

    In Hollywood there is also a lack of representation with executives because the most of the power resides in people that are ethnically white. Brent Lang and Dave McNary believe that black films are usually not picked up by studios because very few people in powerful positions are black. Therefore, most studios don’t understand what would appeal to black audiences. This causes analysts to undervalue the potential profit of black films, turning executives away from being interested in pursuing black film projects. Examples of black movie profits far exceeding predictions are found in this quote from their article , How Tracking Fails Diverse Movies: “"Straight Outta Compton 's" $60.2 million debut was roughly $20 million more than most trade publications had predicted. "War Room," a faith-based drama about the power of prayer, more than doubled predictions with its $11.3 million launch. And last weekend 's champ, Sony 's "Perfect Guy," exceeded expectations by nearly $15 million when it kicked off with $29.4 million” (Lang and McNary). The history between black and whites in America come into play with the existence of a phenomenon called the “Hollywood plantation arrangement” which alludes to the relationship of black slaves and white slaveowners pre-civil war. This idea describes how “the relationship between African Americans and White Americans is rooted in a tradition of ownership, guidance, and responsibility” which “directly influences African Americans’ ability to access economic power and ownership, thereby limiting creative control and cultural protection (Ndoubou 7). The ruling class, which in Hollywood is the whites, use their power to maintain control by creating these images in media that make the blacks seem lesser...

    Most compelling about Watkins’ film War Game, was its ability to deceive the viewer. Frequently throughout the film, I found myself questioning where, if at all, the line could be drawn between staged content and unscripted dialog. While the sequences depicting nuclear blasts and the ensuing injuries/fatalities were easily identifiable as fictional events, many of the interviews with the British citizens were much more difficult to evaluate. A prominent example of this is when various individuals–seemingly at random–are asked what strontium-90 is, a question to which none of them provide a correct answer. This scene is particularly difficult to decipher because there are no historical or contextual clues that indicate whether these are paid

  • Full Metal Jacket Analysis

    Among a number of puzzling questions raised in the film Full Metal Jacket (1987), one of the most important is “Why did Pvt. Pyle kill the drill instructor and himself?” To answer this question, one must analyse several scenes in the first third of the film where the platoon is in basic training. Right from the start of the film, Leonard Lawrence (nicknamed Gomer Pyle) is singled out from the platoon for poor decision making and simply being physically unfit. Throughout bootcamp, a sequence of events takes place that alienates Pvt. Pyle and eventually culminates in the deaths of the drill instructor and Pvt. Pyle himself.

  • Film Analysis: Enemy Of The State Directed by Tony Scott

    In the modern day era, we find in society a ubiquitous usage of technology that seems to be never ending and forever growing. Included with this notion, the broad subject of surveillance is of course included. Contemporary surveillance, or more specifically technological surveillance, has been described as ambiguous; meaning that it is often misunderstood or open to different interpretations. The representation of surveillance within popular culture has played an impacting role on how we as a society perceive it and this raises certain questions that may reflect back on to society. The 1998 film Enemy Of The State directed by Tony Scott, Starring Will Smith, Gene Hackman and Jon Voight is considered to be a ‘spy-thriller’ blockbuster. Its central themes explore a range of surveillance techniques and equipment and also provides some insights, no matter how realistic or unrealistic they may be, into the real life security organisation; The National Security Agency (NSA). Using this film as an example and analysing how these themes are represented will hopefully allow us to key these ideas back to modern surveillance theories and practices.
