...I’ve always watched movies for the sole purpose of entertainment. Thinking about the historical backgrounds they entail never really crossed my mind. The way Hollywood portrays historical events in films isn’t very accurate, which some people see as a problem. After listening to both James Wermers & Dr.Chiltons presentations and reading The Art of War article my train of thought has changed on how films portray history. First, let’s consider the three perspective on the issue of how movies portray history. James Wermers had many opinions on filmography and history. According to him, producers have full rights to using history in fims. He believes that even though history is fair game to the film industry, movies don’t always portray historical events as accurate as they occur. He spoke about film producers use of CGI in movies and how it adds to a movies over all look. Even though CGI is a very clever use of computerized effects, it is not always used as it should be. He stated, “ CGI is no longer used for a certain effect, it is no longer the question of should we use it but how.” The reality of historical events isn’t always as accurate as it could be says Wermer but it is a good basis to a movie. Dr.Chilton had a political opinion on the matter.

...507-P01 5 DE MAYO DE 2005 ANITA ELBERSE Marvel Enterprises, Inc. Era 29 de junho de 2004, um dia antes do lançamento nos cinemas da tão esperada seqüência do filme Homem-Aranha, baseado no personagem mais popular da Marvel Enterprises. O filme parecia destinado a seguir os passos do recordista de bilheterias original ao oferecer sua mistura familiar de forte ação e drama. Porém, Peter Cuneo, o Vice-Presidente e ex-CEO, sabia que sua equipe havia realizado um resgate que nem o Homem-Aranha (ou qualquer outro dos super-heróis sobre os quais a Marvel detinha direitos) teria sucesso – o resgate da própria empresa. Apenas seis anos depois da firma ter emergido da falência, e apenas três anos depois de ter publicado prejuízos de US$100 milhões e ver suas ações serem negociadas próximo a US$1, a Marvel acumulara um valor de mercado de mais de US$2 bilhões, registrando vendas de US$300 milhões e um lucro operacional de cerca de US$170 milhões em 2003, com suas ações sendo negociadas por mais de US$20 (veja o Anexo 1). “O ápice de nosso trabalho veio a algumas semanas atrás, quando o Wall Street Journal selecionou nossas ações como as de melhor desempenho,” disse Cuneo. “Adivinhe quem foi a ação número 1 na Bolsa de Valores de Nova Iorque nos últimos três anos?” Não apenas o negócio original da Marvel de publicação de histórias em quadrinhos foi transformado em uma divisão lucrativa; suas operações de licenciamentos e brinquedos também geraram retornos impressionantes...
