In the first act of the 1979 movie Apocalypse Now, it was interesting how the Americans choose to play loud music while they executed their aerial attack on the beachside village. The Americans believed that the music would intimidate the Vietnamese villagers and weaken their resolve.

Introduction
The movies, Beowulf and The 13th Warrior had their setting in the ancient days where technology was not yet established. They were the times of swords, arrows and bows.
