My proposal will included several turning points in American history. One of my turning points is the emergence of monopoly. The envision will appear in the movie that I have imagined in the screenplay proposal will be the creation of the Standard Oil Company. The emergence of John D. Rockefeller’s Standard Oil Company inspired many others industries to seek total control of the American market, which eventually led to many following historical turning points. In this specific scene, I will be using the 1920’s popular music called Dardanella written in 1919. Listening to the 1920s’ music allowed me to sense the atmosphere during the Gilded Age, especially Rockefeller’s situation being a rich and a happy person at that time. Also, this music combined with Jazz which is relevant to the historical culture as well.
