History Film Analysis History Film Analysis Introduction The purpose of this exercise is to allow students to learn more about analyzing and using professional dramatic films as a resource for understanding history. Students must locate an approved movie/film using the list below. Depending on which course you are taking, only certain movies may be used for a course. View the film. Then write an analysis of the movie. This calls for a short essay with a thesis, evidence, and conclusion that closely follow the directions below. You are not doing a general summary or review of the movie; and you are not doing a formal film critique of the movie—you are focusing on the historical qualities of the film. Follow these instructions carefully. Instructions Write a persuasive essay containing a minimum of seven (7) well edited paragraphs critically analyzing the film as follows: 1. Identify the primary (single) point of the film. Was the movie, for example, sympathetic or critical? How did the movie attempt to persuade the audience to accept this point of view? Provide a background and historical setting for the film and its perspective using and citing sources as needed. Paragraph one. 2. Describe in detail the movie’s point of view. This may be critical of a period or person, or even a way of thinking. It might also be positive in tone. The movie might use sarcasm, humor, or other literary approaches to convey tone and message. Your thesis should correctly identify the perspective of the movie. Then briefly describe the plot of the movie, the film’s tone and theme, and the primary characters. Paragraph two. 3. Describe and analyze in detail at least three major scenes that were historically significant in the movie and that support the movie thesis, (do NOT describe aspects of technical film making such as acting, directing, editing, design, set design, photography, soundtrack, costumes, script writing—you are likely not experts at these techniques. These aspects of film making are associated with the film’s aesthetic qualities but not central to historical accuracy). The first scene description becomes paragraph three. a. Each scene’s historical analysis should include accuracy of the character(s) b. Accuracy of the setting c. And accuracy of the scene’s sequence of events; and the movie’s use of evidence d. And an analysis of the scene’s contribution to the movie’s point of view 4. Describe and analyze in detail your second scene next—using the above arguments. This is paragraph four. 5. Describe and analyze in detail your third scene next as paragraph five. It must be in support of your thesis. 6. Compare the movie’s story and evidence to sources or textbooks you have read in history courses and assess the movie’s accuracy as a statement of history—also assess the movie’s usefulness as history instruction. If this comparison does involve other sources, they must be recognized and properly cited. Paragraph six. 7. Analyze your own personal reaction and conclusions to the movie. Who might benefit from seeing the film? Overall, how strong are the historical arguments of the film? Paragraph seven. 8. Add CMS style sources if used. Write the paper in CMS style. Cite your film using Chicago style rules for a film entry. In order, this includes: Performers Last name, 1 first name. Film Title in Italics. Medium. Directed by first name last name. Distributor City: Distributor, date. Day-Lewis, Daniel, Sally Field and Tommy Lee Jones. Lincoln. DVD. Directed by Steven Spielberg. Los Angeles: DreamWorks, 2012. 9. For help with CMS style, see www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/home.html Logical Arguments Be careful that you do not make errors of logic and argument as you judge films for their historical contributions. Here are a few logical traps to avoid: 1. Presentism—avoid using your present day ideas, values, or technological skills to judge films. For example the older black and white movie Midway, is much more accurate historically than the newer, full color, love-story Pearl Harbor. 2. Personal biases—avoid using your personal, cultural, or religious biases to judge films. If desired you can make a personal statement in your conclusions. 3. Personal judgments—avoid clichés and sweeping colloquialisms like “I hated the film”, or “it was awesome”. You are doing a critical analysis of the historical qualities of the movie and such personal statements do not help. 4. Expert judgments—if you are a professional nurse, a retired combat veteran, or other expert and wish to use your professional judgment to help analyze a film, fine. But mostly you will need to rely on other sources for expertise. Every semester some student writes something like “that was the best battle scene ever” when, in fact, that student had had no experience in battle. Do not write about what you do not know. 5. Cherry Picking—avoid picking the easy scenes, or ones you like. Dig into the movie and look for elements which raise questions. One cherry-picks or uses the fallacy of exclusions when one examines only one side of an issue. Ask if the movie is holding back some of the story. Look for evidence counter to the movie’s theme. 6. Character and emotional biases—avoid judging a film on its likability, a character, a favorite performer, the soundtrack, or the ending. 7. Spoilers are OK—tell and evaluate the whole story—you do not need to worry about “spoiling” the ending. Your review should be honest, fair and be our own work. It should also be critical--so look carefully for historical errors. Many of Hollywood’s most acclaimed films contain outrageous errors. The film Lincoln shows the president slapping one of his sons when historians agree it is unlikely Lincoln would ever have done such a thing. The baseball film Eight Men Out shows the accused players kicked out of baseball immediately, yet the Chicago White Sox actually played the rest of the 1919 season. In the film Glory, the African American soldiers begin the drama greeting each other as fellow soldiers who escaped the South, when almost all actually came from the North. The 2001 movie Pearl Harbor erroneously had U.S. Admiral H.E. Kimmel out on a golf course—when in fact the four-star admiral was in his office and was slightly injured by glass shattered from a .50 caliber shell. Depending on the movie, even these errors may still be “acceptable”, if the movie point of view delivers a consistent message—so you need to think carefully. You will need to do some research to verify elements of the film you review. You may not use your text as anything other than a general reference. Writing Requirements 2 Add your name, the course title, section number and semester at the bottom of your film analysis. Write professionally in a convincing tone. Avoid clichés, colloquialisms, and forms of idiomatic expression. Write in the past tense; avoid the use of personal pronouns; and write in the active voice. Edit and polish your writing. Use 12 point non-serif fonts, double spacing, and one inch margins. Do not use a cover page. Edit and proof your spelling using both spell-check and manual reading. Using this required font and spacing seven paragraphs will produce a minimum three to four page paper. Be sure this is your work. If other sources are used, cite those using CMS. Use no quotes. Write in Microsoft Word, rtf format, or PDF format only. Save a copy. Upload a copy to the dropbox as instructed. Files uploaded must be .doc; .rtf; or .pdf file types.

They seem like fun, easy projects, when in reality they are arduous ventures beset by countless pitfalls. The actor (whose creative labour produces the performances) can become obscured by the star (associated with existential qualities). It is difficult to accurately assess the industrial, cultural and aesthetic factors that shape audience perspectives and actors’ careers. There are no straightforward ways to connect star studies with accounts, for example, of African-American cinema. Even ‘star image’ is an ambiguous term. Martin Shingler notes that star studies can (and should) consider a host of issues, including ‘a performer’s star qualities and idiolect, their career trajectory … the significance of collaborators … the emergence of their type and star vehicles’ (2012: 183). Beyond this, these studies will show how ‘stars embody, incarnate or personify social groups or historical moments, [and negotiate] ideological contradictions that emerge within or between social groups’; on the flip side, they also aim to clarify ‘how certain types of audiences or members of a specific social group … have engaged with and made use of stars at particular historical moments’ (ibid.). Juggling disparate visions of stardom, these studies consider how a star functions as ‘an industrial marketing device’, a meaning- producing element within films and a working professional involved in the fields of art and performance (Gledhill 1991a: xiii).

  • Promise Beheld and the Limits of Place
    Promise Beheld and the Limits of Place A Historic Resource Study of Carlsbad Caverns and Guadalupe Mountains National Parks and the Surrounding Areas By Hal K. Rothman Daniel Holder, Research Associate National Park Service, Southwest Regional Office Series Number Acknowledgments This book would not be possible without the full cooperation of the men and women working for the National Park Service, starting with the superintendents of the two parks, Frank Deckert at Carlsbad Caverns National Park and Larry Henderson at Guadalupe Mountains National Park. One of the true joys of writing about the park system is meeting the professionals who interpret, protect and preserve the nation’s treasures. Just as important are the librarians, archivists and researchers who assisted us at libraries in several states. There are too many to mention individuals, so all we can say is thank you to all those people who guided us through the catalogs, pulled books and documents for us, and filed them back away after we left. One individual who deserves special mention is Jed Howard of Carlsbad, who provided local insight into the area’s national parks. Through his position with the Southeastern New Mexico Historical Society, he supplied many of the photographs in this book. We sincerely appreciate all of his help. And finally, this book is the product of many sacrifices on the part of our families. This book is dedicated to LauraLee and Lucille, who gave us the time to write it, and Talia, Brent, and Megan, who provide the reasons for writing. Hal Rothman Dan Holder September 1998 i Executive Summary Located on the great Permian Uplift, the Guadalupe Mountains and Carlsbad Caverns national parks area is rich in prehistory and history.

  • Allen Rostron, the Law and Order Theme in Political and Popular Culture

INTRODUCTION “Law and order” became a potent theme in American politics in the 1960s. With that simple phrase, politicians evoked a litany of troubles plaguing the country, from street crime to racial unrest, urban riots, and unruly student protests. Calling for law and order became a shorthand way of expressing contempt for everything that was wrong with the modern permissive society and calling for a return to the discipline and values of the past. The law and order rallying cry also signified intense opposition to the Supreme Court’s expansion of the constitutional rights of accused criminals. In the eyes of law and order conservatives, judges needed to stop coddling criminals and letting them go free on legal technicalities. In 1968, Richard Nixon made himself the law and order candidate and won the White House, and his administration continued to trumpet the law and order theme and blame weak-kneed liberals, The William R.
