Things+in+common+with+Hero+Movies+AP10

It seems with the movies that we made in class there are a few things in common:

First: it seems that all of the movies are based on either people from the war or leaders

Example: Abe Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, Fredrick Douglous, and more

Second: Most of the people who made a difference in the 19th century were men, also the only women hero's were either fighting for slaves or fighting for womens rights.

** Patterns in hero movies (Script) ** Patterns in hero movies… (pause) As I was watching hero movies a noticed two patterns stuck out to me (pause) The first pattern was that it seems that most people who were heroes in the 19th century were either in the war or, a leader like… (pause) Ulysses S. Grant, (pause) Abraham Lincoln, (pause) Fredrick Douglas, And more (pause) This is interesting because it shows that in history you can mostly only hear about these types of people and it makes me wonder what a hero today would be like. (pause) The second pattern that I noticed while watching the hero movies was that it seems like men were considered heroes during this time. Which you can see with the page that I color coated, red is male while blue is female. Clearly Red dominates. My theory is that this is true because women lacked rights during this time era. (pause) This makes since because of the amount of people who had heroes who fought for women’s rights (pause) Thank you for listening to my opinion of the patterns of the movies (credits)
