Would you recommend this film to someone attempting to understand the culture or event under consideration? Why or why not?
Yes and no. The reason why both answers were selected is because the film can provide an accurate historical backdrop of events and issues that England was wrestling with in the 1200's. Where, many kings and aristocrats would exercise tremendous amounts of influence over the average person. This is significant, because the overall brutality that was faced and the oppression that they would feel (from these regimes), would create a desire in people wanting to control their own destiny. In this aspect, this film would provide a good background of the emotions and violence that was faced by the average person (as they were forced conform to the system or face persecution). This would help an individual to understand the culture and events that were taking place at the time (as it can allow the viewer to see what is happening, from the eyes of the ordinary person during the 1200's).
However, if you are using the film to establish historical accuracy, the various: events and places will not match the actual record. Part of the reason for this, is because the story has been consistently retold over 900 years. As a result, the names, events and places could be vastly different in comparison with what actually happened. A good example of this can be seen with signing of the Magna Carta in 1215. This document would eventually help establish the modern day democracy in Great Britain. Yet, the struggle was hard fought, as it would be another 100 years until it was implemented. At the same time, King John was overthrown in 1264 for similar kinds of reason.
What this shows, is that the events in the film Robin Hood 2010, it is depicting the background of what took place between 1215 and 1264.
In this aspect, the movie is a historical and cultural representation of various events that were taking place. While not discussing: specific times, dates, and places; the film denotes the atmosphere of what was occurring.
What does the film's interpretation of the historical topic under consideration tell us about our own cultural assumptions?
It says that people will often do historical revisions, where the actual events could become skewed over the years. This is because a number of different versions of the story were told. Over the course of time, each version will be accepted by a certain amount of people as the actual truth (even though it may be very loosely based on fact). As each version of the story is told, a conflict begins to emerge about what really took place. Where, the events and the person could begin to change, with each new version being accepted as realistic to a certain extent. What this tells us, is that the various events and their actual meanings can change, based upon the most common views in popular culture. At which point, the actual events may begin to mirror some of the same struggles and challenges being faced by contemporary audiences.
Clearly, the film Robin Hood 2010...
This becomes further complex as economic ties blur between the poor and middle classes and the expectations each has about the definition of materialistic success. By belonging to a subculture, however, one can feel part of something larger, insulated a bit from the criticisms and unattainable messages of the upper middle class, and certainly a way to belong and feel important with one's own environment (Siegel and Welsh, 2009,
Although they created considerable turmoil in Germany for over a decade, it is questionable what they actually accomplished. The Gang gradually disappeared from the scene and has not been heard from for a number of years. Their activities, however, did cause a major change in how Germany, as a nation, addressed terrorism within its borders. Because of the Gang's activities, Germany enacted some of the broadest enforcement laws available
crime dramas of cinematic history, Arthur Penn's 1967 Bonnie and Clyde exhibits many hallmarks of accomplished filmmaking. Mainstay elements like character development, pacing, and screenwriting combine with the subtler aspects of moviemaking like mis-en-scene, cinematography, and sound editing. Faye Dunaway as Bonnie Parker and Warren Beatty as Clyde Barrow fulfill their most iconic roles. The film is based on the outlandish but true story of a heterosexual bank robber
In Miller's Batman, one sees a man waging war on a world that has sold its soul for empty slogans and nationalism: the Dark Knight represents a kind of spirit reminiscent of what the old world used to call the Church Militant -- he is virtue violently opposed to all forms of vice -- even those that bear the letter S. On their chests and come in fine wrapping. Miller's

American Democracy A nation wherein the masses elect representatives to the government, thus ensuring the law is shaped by public opinion (so long as this opinion is Constitutional) is considered a republic.
