War posters
It’s not the correction because I didn’t received it and I don’t know why.
These 3 pictures are posters from: Apocalypse Now, Saving private ryan which are movies and Bando of bothers, a TV series. Apocalypse Now was directed by Francis Ford Coppola and starred by Martin Sheen. It was realized in 1979. Saving private ryan was directed by Steven Spielberg and starred by Tom Hanks. It was realized in 1998. Band of Brothers was starred by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg and directed by Tony To and Mikael Salomon. All movies won awards. However Apocalypse Now and Saving private ryan won Oscars, Band of Brothers won Emmy awards and a Golden Globe award.
Contrary of Band of Brothers and Saving private ryan, Apoclaypse Now is 100% of visual and 0 % of credits. All of them are about wars. The period shown on Apocalypse Now is the Vietnam war while the period of portrayed of Saving private ryan and Band of Brothers is the Second World War. The scenes shown by these 3 posters allude all to wars, even if the colors are not exactly the same. The fonts used on each poster are different. The font of Apocalypse Now looks like covered with a knife, the font of Saving private ryan was written on the computer and the font of Band of Brothers written on the computer too, but we notice that maybe a knife was passed on the title. The main difference between Apocalypse Now and the others posters is the layout: in Apocalypse Now we can see the landscape, helicopters, and the sunset or the sunrise. In Saving private ryan we observe 4 of Saving private ryan, in Band of Brothers we can only see the silhouettes of the 13 soldians against the horizon: we can’t see their faces.
The poster I chose to analyze is: Apocalypse Now. My impression is that the poster shows the end of the Vietnam War. To reinforce it’s the end of the war is the sunset, the smoke which don’t lets us see what happened and the helicopters on the sky that are probably living Vietnam. What strikes my attention on this poster is the fact that the title is written, maybe, with a knife and the fact that it’s, maybe, painted. The fact that there are no credits may infer that Vietnam War was a violent war. Perhaps, Francis Coppola wanted to show by this movie that any war is violent. To emphasize this idea is the fact the only thing that we can see clearly is the river. Finished the war, many people is dead and everything needs to be rebuild the consequences of the war. Today the impression we have is wars are never going to end definitely, which would be a disaster.
