  • Does History Repeat Herself? Or do various cultures adapt the same stories and make them their own?

    The Admiral - Roaring Currents (2014 film) about 12 ships against 330 ships (from Korean/Japanese history of 1597) is the same odds ratio basically as 180 men against 5000 men in, The Alamo (2004 film) from Mexican and Texas U.S. history.

    There is nothing new under the sun according to the Bible author of the Book of Ecclesiastes.

    In both films you have the head military leader coughing up blood into a napkin. The Admiral does so (The Admiral), and Colonel Bowie does so (The Alamo).

    The Alamo writers use 180 Texan troops fighting against 5000 Mexican troops. Whereas, The Admiral writers use 12 Korean ships against 330 Japanese ships. That is almost exactly the same odds ratio. EXAMPLE: 12 ships times 10 = 120 ships. 330 ships times 10 = 3300 ships. add half as many more and you get 180 ships against 4950 ships (sounds like 180 men against 5000 men).

    Either history repeats herself around the world or else these writers are deceiving us into thinking their plots are original?

    Consider the Israelite story of Moses, King Saul, and King David. Then consider the Roman/Greek story of the Emperor Nero. Nero's life was very similar to the combined lives of Moses/Saul/David.

    Davy Crockett's life can be compared to Jesus Christ in great detail. Davy was even purported to have risen from the dead and appeared to many in Mexico City after the fall of the Alamo (and his death). Davy bled the 5000 whereas Jesus fed the 5000. And so on.

    And COL Jim Bowie, COL Davy Crockett, and LT COL William Travis are considered the Holy Trinity of the Alamo.

    Perhaps the Admiral is Father, Son, and Holy Ghost all rolled up into one? Or should I add Moses too, making 4? We have to add in General Sam Houston into the mix to make a victory for the Texans. So perhaps the Admiral is: Moses, God, Jesus, Holy Spirit all rolled up into one, or Davy Crockett, Jim Bowie, William Travis, and Sam Houston all rolled up into one?

  • Does History Repeat Herself? Or do various cultures adapt the same stories and tell them differently?

    This great and exciting film (The Admiral - Roaring Currents, 2014) appears to be a spin off of, The Alamo (2004 film), about a United States, State of Texas, True battle against the Mexicans. You will notice many similarities between THE ALAMO and THE ADMIRAL.

    The Alamo film (2004) came first, but the writers of THE ADMIRAL film (2014) make us believe they were the originators of the plot by setting their film in 1597, whereas The Alamo is set in 1836.

    In both films you have the head military leader coughing up blood into a napkin. The Admiral does so (The Admiral), and Colonel Bowie does so (The Alamo).

    Also, the ratio of odds is exactly the same. The Alamo writers use 180 Texan troops fighting against 5000 Mexican troops. Whereas, The Admiral writers use 12 Korean ships against 330 Japanese ships. That is exactly the same odds ratio. EXAMPLE: 12 ships times 10 = 120 ships. 330 ships times 10 = 3300 ships. add half as many more and you get 180 ships against 4950 ships (sounds like 180 men against 5000 men).
