we were asked to study events from the 1940s to present day. However we were split into groups and given two decades to look at whilst analysing different films from the decades and looking to see how the real life events are conveyed and what the people in that time period feared.
The two decades my group were given was the 1960s and the 2000s, these were two interesting decades as looking back over them a lot happened for instance in the 1960s there where a lot of assassinations like the famous J.F.K., Malcolm X, Martin Luther King assassinations. The Cold War also ran through the 60s, the Berlin Wall was destroyed, the Anti-War movement (or Flower Power) began, also it was one of the biggest decades for space as Apollo 11 landed on the moon, the first human ventured into outer space Yuri Gagarin. So the majority of people in that decade were mostly scared of war, space and assassins. Lots of events also have taken place in the 2000s I think the most memorable events are the terrorist attacks like the 9/11 attack on the world trade centre and the 7/11 bombings in London, there were also lots of natural disasters like the Asian tsunami
