Elvis Presley was dipicted  in this movie in a couple way. First, when Forrest was dancing in the room too the music. His braces made him dance and move his legs in a way that may not be approved to the public eye. After going on a walk with his mother, Forrest and her saw a tv through a glass window and watched Elvis dance the SAME dance he did! His mother covered his sons eyes and walked away in disgust.



The JFK assassination was also played in this movie. It was shown as a small clip. Before the clip. They showed other videos of JFK talking to the all American team for football and congratulated them and talked to them. After explaining how nice he was, they showed the day of his assassination.

Lastly the Vietnam war was showed in this movie. Forrest is in the war himself . They showed the drill sargents and his training. They showed him loading guns and sleeping alone.

Zero Dark Thirty Review

Zero Dark Thirty Review
5/11/15


Just recently I have viewed the movie Zero Dark Thirty. It was very captivating and kept my interest throughout the entire film. I would like to write a review based on my sighting. This movie is a thriller about the finding, capturing, and killing of Osama bin Laden. It was filled with suspense.




Ever since the terrifying attack on our World Trade Center on 9/11, Maya and her team worked day in and day out to find and capture the cruel mastermind behind the attack, Bin Laden.Throughout Pakistan and Afghanistan Maya started her 10 year journey to find and kill him. She went through hell trying to find him, and those who connect with it. She goes through a lot to find him, but at the end is when everything seemed all worth it.




Maya did and EXCELLENT job acting. She nailed the role and was so passionate. The character Maya was fierce, angry, and determinated. I don't believed that could have been performed any better! The character John also did a great job. Considering no other roles were as major, its hard to compare. All around great job.




I find I liked everything about it. I loved the places it was filmed, the actors reactions, and the feel of the film. There wasn't much to dislike. This movie kept me interested, awake, and alert. Great job all around for Zero Dark Thirty.




I would recommend this movie to any body! Great movie and good representation on how we took down our enemy.

Glory Review

Title of film- Glory

Just recently in school I have watched the movie glory. After watching it I really wanted to write a review on it. This movie was about the American Revolution. It's about the United States' first all-African-American regiment, the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry
. 

In Massachusetts in 1863, the first all African American regiment. They were all educated, none of which were run away slaves. They joined the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infrantry willing, wanting to fight for their country. Even when they were threatened their lives they still fought. Officer Shaw was an officer himself in the federal army during the civil war. He volunteered to lead the first company of black soldiers. He had to deal with the prejudices of both the enemy and of his fellow officers.



The main actors were Denzel Washington, Mathew Broderick, Cary Elwes. They all did a good job. The best was Broderick since his role was the hardest. He really felt emotion. The rest was okay, the movie lacked some character.



In all, I felt the movie was pretty boring. It almost made me fall asleep. It was lacking suspense, emotion, character and all around entertaining. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone because I did not enjoy it at all.



The rating of the movie - R

I give this movie a 1 out of 5.
