Scholarship (True Historical Analysis) And Contemporary Entertainment (Popular Culture): Erroneousness And Embellishment
[ send me this paper ]
24 pages in length. The predominance of historical revisionism in today's filmmaking illustrates the reason why contemporary society buys into certain inaccuracies as truth. Recognizing the power Hollywood has for skewing reality is the key to understanding the problem behind how societies such as the Greeks and Romans are perceived from a perspective of adulterated depiction. Indeed, such distinctions have been overlooked to the point of being immersed within the very infrastructure of what contemporary society believes to be true based solely upon Hollywood's version of historical facts. Mighty Aphrodite and Gladiator illustrate two of myriad accounts whereby the past is based more upon reading between the lines than they are upon fact. Historical accuracy - the goal of which is "to achieve an effective blend of historical accuracy and compelling drama" (Crowdus 2005, 12) - is a component of popular culture whereby individual perception commands the reins. Bibliography lists 15 sources.

Star Wars, Episode II: Relation With Ancient Greek Mythology And Its Heroes
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. One of the most prominent literary motifs of mythology is that of power and the tragic hero. Examining the fundamental interpretation of Star Wars, Episode II, the student will find that this film also struggles with the concepts of power and the tragic hero, as well. It may appear as quite contrary in nature to have two such divergent literary approaches upon which to draw the same conclusion, however, it becomes much more acceptable when one realizes that beneath all the garishness associated with heroic deeds, the protagonist is still just one being who is in constant struggle with his own existence. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
