The War of 1812
2011
star 8The War 1812 is a two-hour film history of a deeply significant event in North American and world history. The war shaped American, Canadian and British destiny in the most literal way possible: had one or two battles or decisions gone a different way, a map of the United States today would look entirely (and shockingly) different. The fires of this war forged the nation of Canada; at the same time, the result tolled the end of Native American dreams of a separate nation. By war's end, the process of Native nation removal had already begun in the southeast, paving the way for a Cotton Kingdom powered by slavery, and a United States that had been on the verge of collapse was ready to announce its arrival as a global power. The U.S. did not win the War of 1812, but the noble experiment of democracy had managed to survive intense pressure from without, and within.The Real Macbeth

star 7.3Victor Klemperer (1881-1960), a professor of literature in Dresden, was Jewish; through the efforts of his wife, he survived the war. From 1933 when Hitler came to power to the war's end, he kept a journal paying attention to the Nazis' use of words. This film takes the end of 1945 as its vantage point, with a narrator looking back as if Klemperer reads from his journal. He examines the use of simple words like "folk," "eternal," and "to live." Interspersed are personal photographs, newsreel footage of Reich leaders and of life in Germany then, and a few other narrative devices. Although he's dispassionate, Klemperer's fear and dread resonateCuộc Chiến Với Chằn Tinh
2014
The battle with the ogre is simulated from the folk tale Thach Sanh with a filial and honest boy with a beautiful relationship with Princess Quynh Nga. Adapting from a plot that has been infiltrated into the blood and blood of many Vietnamese people with the spirit of respect for identity but also needing novelty is a big challenge for the film crew The War with the Elves. Based on the famous fairy tale, the film has built a fictional plot. While the country was at peace, the invaders and King Hung's army had to confront a mighty opponent. In that critical situation, Thach Sanh appeared as a savior hero. Still faithful to the original plot when letting the hero save the princess, but not from the evil eagle but dangerous enemies. However, the higher task of Thach Sanh is to destroy the ogre to save the whole country from the invasion.Gunstlingen
