Lesson 7: Task: Write a film review

Lesson 7: Task: Write a film review

This is the lesson where you put everything together. We want you to write a review of a film.

Task

Writing a Film Review

This is the lesson where you put everything together. We want you to write a review of a film. You will see two examples of film reviews which you can use to help you write your own review. When you’ve finished your review, post it in the comments section and read other participants reviews and tell them what you think. In lesson one we looked at film vocabulary, in lesson three we gave you some advice about using film to improve your English and gave two short reviews of films about football, in lesson four we focussed on the passive which is a common form to use when writing about films, and in lesson six we showed you some websites where you can read lots of film reviews. While you are writing your review, you can go back to these lessons for some help.

What should I include in my film review?

It's up to you! Here is a list of some common things that you see in film reviews. Have a look at the Bend It Like Beckham film review and match the five colours to the things in this list. Is there anything extra included in the review? Is there anything missing?

  • The film's title.
  • An eye-catching heading.
  • The genre (type of film). 
  • The audience. Who is the film for?
  • The director, main actors, when it was made, has it won any awards?
  • The plot. A brief summary that doesn't mention the ending!
  • Your opinion.
  • Your evaluation.

Film Review 1

Bend it Like BeckhamBrilliant and Funny!

How can I describe Bend It Like Beckham? If I had to choose a genre, I would say it’s a romantic comedy-drama sports film!

The film was made in 2002 and directed by Gurinder Chandha who is well-known for films which explore the lives of Indians living in the UK. 

The film is set in London and stars Jess (Parminder Naghra), who is an 18-year-old girl with Indian parents. One of the main storylines is the tension between Jess, who loves football, and her parents, who don’t allow her to play.Jess’s friend and teammate, Jules, who is played by Keira Knightly (Pirates of the Caribbean) encourages Jess to play despite her parent's wishes. 

The film deals with serious social problems such as sexism and racism, but the film is very funny at the same time! The acting is very good and of course, there is a happy ending! Oh, and David Beckham is in the movie, but you must wait until the end for that!
I would give Bend It Like Beckham four and a half stars out of five and definitely recommend you watch it!

Now, look at the second film review. Is it a good review? What does it include? Is there anything missing?

Film Review 2

Fever Pitch – Funny, dramatic and a perfect finish!

I love football and I love films, so Fever Pitch was the perfect movie for me. It tells the story of a school teacher who is mad about his football club – Arsenal! The film was made in 1997 and is based on a best-selling book of the same name. The film has also been remade for American audiences based on baseball.

The main role is played by Colin Firth (Paul) one of the UK’s most famous actors. Paul falls in love with a new teacher (Sally) at his school during the 1989/90 football season, one of the most important seasons in Arsenal’s history. The plot follows the ups and downs of Paul’s romance with Sally and the fortunes of Paul’s football team. But who does he love more? Sally or Arsenal? You’ll have to watch the film to find out!

There are strong performances by Colin Firth and Ruth Gemmell (Sally) in this romantic comedy-drama. If you are a football fan you will love this film, but it definitely has a wider appeal, too! I will give it five-stars and not just because I’m an Arsenal fan!

Task

Split is a thriller and psychological horror movie, in which you play with your mind in different ways. It premiered in 2017, starring James McAvoy as Dennis one of his 23 personalities playing the villain, Haley Lu Richardson as Claire, Jessica Sula as Marcia and Anya Taylor-Joy as casey, in the role of the survivors.
This nominated film is unfolding when the protagonist kidnaps three girls and locks them in a cellar; This becomes interesting when you approach girls with different personalities each day and personality 24 begins to form, called the beast. What will happen if it reaches the beast?
It is a totally different and different film for the public, as it confuses and excites the viewer, throughout the film. I recommend this film 100% since it makes you feel inside of it, sweat of the emotion and feel a great limit of desperation

Hamburger rain

Sony Pictures Animation after Open Season: Amigos Salvajes released in 2006 and Crazy for Surf the following year, brings to Colombia from Friday its third animated film entitled Hamburger Rain that will arrive in both digital and third format dimension. The film is based on an old children's book of the same name written by Ron and Judi Barrett in 1978. The adaptation and film direction of this work is in charge of Phil Lord and Christopher Miller for whom this film is his first film.

The careful animation of this film, taken care of in the smallest details and with a very good 3-D had several referents to give body and life to the characters that are part of this "appetizing" story, among them are the Muppets. LLuvia de Hamburguesas tells the story of an inventor who from a very young age dedicated himself to making the most incredible inventions, but his essays were not always successful and had the approval of the town where he lived. In fact, he managed to get the majority to disapprove of his strange inventions. But with the desire to make the inhabitants of the region happy, years later he conceives a machine capable of turning water into comedy and once he achieves it, nothing will be the same for him, his family and the villagers.

The original story created more than thirty years ago, has strong timeless ingredients to touch the issue of greed, something that has mortified the man since the beginning of its existence and could not be more effective because it is one of the seven deadly sins that dominate the world today in many areas and that of course is not alien to the smallest, who because of the ease of access to (des) information, the absence of parents who are forced to work, the excess of video games, of television, they make that from an early age and without even knowing it they become victims of this hateful thought.

what you want can be

all my american, is a real story in which you look at passion desire for something as wonderful as a sport is in three words, the film is defined as Biographical, Drama, Sport.

the film was made in 2015 directed by Angelo Pizzo adapted from the book Corage Beyond The Game: The Freddie Steinmark Story, by Jim Dent which is a history of legends for the Texas football team

everything sometimes we admire the deportees for what they achieve by the effort they make and how not to name Freddie Steinmark, who in the film is
 starring Peter Wittrock, Jr. (Theater World Award 2012)

we as human beings and as part of a society we want to be someone in life through education
in the case of our Freddie, he liked sports a lot
he took great care in the field, no matter how small he was and even though he did not have the resources he entered the University of Texas thanks to his trainer
I recommend it and they have to see it know everything Freddie has to do to play the sport he loves.

Anabelle '
all began so '
genre: terror
The audience for this movie is for over 12 years......Directed by David F. Sandberg and written by Gary Dauberman Stephanie Sigman as Sister Charlotte Talitha Bateman as Janice/Annabelle Higgins Tree O'Toole as an adult Janice/Annabelle Higgins Lulu Wilson as Linda Anthony LaPaglia as Samuel Mullins
Miranda Otto as Esther Mullins Alicia Vela-Bailey as the diabolical Esther Mullins

The story tells the origin of Annabelle at the hands of a doll manufacturer, who receives at home a nun (interpreted by Mexican Stephanie Sigman) and several girls from an orphanage, to try to cover the gap that left the death of his own daughter. However, laughter turns into cries when the demon that lives inside the doll is released

My opinion is that it is an excellent movie to hang out and give a good scare, there are very scary scenes, there are also fun scenes that

Running or dying
I liked several things in The Maze Runner (by the way, it's called "Running or dying" in Latin America, the most generic film title I've seen in a long time), including the performances, the characters and their technical quality, but at the same time I could not help but feel that it could have been better. Everything is the fault of the end; Yes, to say that that dull final is just "disappointing" is too kind.

The film tells the story of Thomas (Dylan O'Brien), a teenager who awakens in a dark and rusty elevator, to eventually ascend into an open field surrounded by impossibly giant walls. Confused and without remembering his name or any other detail about himself, he meets a group of children who explain where he is: he is in the "Claro", and like him, none of his colleagues knows why they were sent there.

All they know is that behind the walls is the Labyrinth, and that every thirty days someone new is delivered by the elevator. The boys have managed to put together a small peaceful society, led by Alby (Aml Almeen), who is the one who has been there the longest: three years. His second in command are Newt (Thomas Brodie-Sangster, whom we have seen in the series of "Game of Thrones"), and the violent Gally (Will Pouter, who will remember the third film of "The Chronicles of Narnia") . But as you can guess, Thomas is "different"; he immediately feels the need to leave the Claro and become a Corridor, one of the guys who is dedicated to exploring the Labyrinth and trying to find a way out. Everything changes not only with the arrival of Thomas, but also when the elevator brings Teresa (Kayla Scodelario), the first girl to arrive at Claro.
The first half of the film is curious; is devoted almost exclusively to expose all the rules and details of the world of The Maze Runner, introducing characters and conflicts everywhere. It is a curiously dense section full of dialogues, especially considering that most of these adaptations of novels for young people are focused on action and fantasy. It was not something that bothered me too much; On the contrary, it is refreshing to find a film of this subgenre that takes the trouble and time to explain well the world that presents us, and to develop tension and a good atmosphere without the need to introduce explosions or exaggeratedly fantastic elements. Unlike other films of the same style, The Maze Runner (at least during its first half) is surprisingly subtle, containing few special effects and rather presenting us with a relatively plausible and obscure situation.

On the other hand, unlike other recent adaptations such as "The Hunger Games" or "Divergent", I found it interesting that The Maze Runner is starred almost exclusively by guys. I'm not saying that this is better or worse than having a female protagonist; I just mention it because that differentiates it from the aforementioned films, and introduces an interesting and purely masculine dynamic between the characters. In fact, the only female character is the weakest; Teresa is not very well developed, and although the performance of Kayla Scoledario is adequate, her American accent does not quite convince (the girl is British).
The rest of the performances are quite remarkable. Like Thomas, Dylan O'Brien starts a little stiff, but little by little he releases more, turning his character into an interesting protagonist, despite falling into the cliché of being "different" or "unique". It just needed to be called "The Chosen One". The Newt by Thomas Brodie-Sangster is one of the nicest characters and with which it is easier to relate; It is not too dark and shows intelligence and good judgment. (Unlike Scodelario, Brodie-Sangster was allowed to keep his British accent). Like Gally, Will Pouter is sufficiently odious (it is worth mentioning that his American accent is impeccable - well, another British actor!), And Patricia Clarkson's cameo (in a role I will not mention so as not to spoil the film's biggest surprise) it gives something of class to the production (in spite of appearing during its weakest scenes).

Visually the film is quite impressive, which should not be surprising considering that the director, Wes Ball, is primarily a special effects director. The labyrinth is sufficiently realistic and impressive, and the digital effects used to create the creatures that our protagonists find inside it are effective. The Maze Runner does not focus much on action scenes or great visual effects for most of its duration, but when these begin to appear more frequently during the last third of the film, they do not disappoint. On the other hand, the sound design is very good, especially when Ball tries to keep us in suspense inside the elevator at the beginning of the movie or inside the Labyrinth.

AVENGERS
The superheroes of Marvel
It is an action film of 2012, written and directed by Joss Whedon. It was produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures, and based on the comic book by Marvel Comics. It is part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe,which links several Marvel superhero films such as Iron Man (2008), Hulk (2008), Iron Man 2 (2010),Thor(2011) and Captain America: the first avenger (2011).
In addition to the destruction, we see the creativity put in when designing the invading creatures. The special effects are integrated perfectly and the motion capture was a success for Hulk. An unfogerttable experience in movie theaters to applaud, laugh and feel like a child. Now that's super.

Mia is a young aspiring actress who works as a waitress and performs castings and Sebastian is a jazz pianist with some economic problems and who wants Jazz to come out of the shadows, these two characters fall in love and seek their happiness but their strong desire for Getting to the top means that they live problems that begin to separate them.
This movie is a wonderful sample of music and feelings within very deep roles, Mia and Sebastian love each other but after the passage of time what they had always sought begins to turn out but maybe not as they expected and their paths start to separate little by little, it only depends on them if they save their relationship or take each one their way where they express us the important thing of leaving the ambition or desire of fame if we will not be totally happy, these two characters live unforgettable stories in their ways and together or separated they will write their future.
The movie has won 40 awards that recognize it as a very good movie, the truth is this movie is for all audiences but especially for lovers of musicals and romance, to see this movie and feel the story as if I lived it is a Exploration of emotions I love how this film represents dedication and beauty, which could see millions of times, each piece of music fits perfectly with each scene and leaves us much to think about for real life.
I qualify La La Land with 5 stars and I hope that they are motivated to see and feel it, the end is wonderful and intriguing under a CITY OF STARS.

the purge, "The Night of Atonement" (2013)
The purge is a science fiction film, especially for anyone interested in criminology where many theories flood, directed and written by James DeMonaco and produced by PARANORMAL ACTIVITY AND INSIDIOUS, starring Ethan Hawke (James Sandin) and Lena Headey (Mary Sandin) are a couple with two children who are dedicated to the sale of security systems for the home being one of the best in the market and live thanks to the purge and fear that this generates.

The film, in spite of being fictional, has a great interesting argument because it makes us think if in some case it would be productive to accept a deviant social behavior in order to maintain economic-social stability. the movie shows us that having the opportunity that one day you could commit a crime without a legal process we would have an absolute Ciudaddian security, poverty would be null and crime would have a very small rate. Maybe the movie has a pretty interesting but sincerely argument that this program will achieve less poverty and crime because there would be many more conflicts, will not end crime or poverty for the simple fact that one day we can kill our "opponent", crime and poverty will always be there since a country will never be a victim.

I recommend you see this movie but the first one is much better

Episode of Star wars 3 (2003)
Episode 3 of Star Wars is a science fiction film that focuses just after episode 2 of Star Wars, happens a few years after the war against the Geonosians in Geonosis. You must admit everything at the same time that we wanted to have a lightsaber that can cut anything or join the dark side like Anakin and betray them all. I saw this movie when I was a child, when I was 7 years old I was passing the channels of my television when I found it and I was fascinated with the plot of the film, I find thousands of feelings in a single scene, revenge, hate, love and distrust besides all the space ezens that were great at that moment! It was obvious that we could not expect less from George Lucas, the great director of these star wars franchises, the film was a great success to leave on the floor the sales of the other movies released at that time, I could say that he hates Padme, It is the main cause of Anakin being attached to the dark side, but hey, this does not take away the genius. It's a great movie for fans who like betrayal and science fiction.

The stand of kisses - The forbidden boy.

The Stand of the Kisses is a romantic comedy movie.
It was directed and written by Vince Marcello.
The story centers on Elle Evans, a high school student, who decides together with her best friend to place a stand of kisses at her school's Spring Carnival,
Elle Evans and Lee Flynn, are best friends since they were born. They have created a series of rules that can not be broken, one of the rules by Lee is: not falling in love with the older brother.
When they create the kissing stand, Elle unexpectedly gives her first kiss to Noah Flynn (Lee's older brother), and then initiates a romance between Noah and Elle, which is outside the bounds of the rules of his covenant of friendship with Lee. Elle has to make an important decision: follow the rules or her heart.
This movie is for a teenage audience, as it deals with several issues that we face today, plus we find the typical characters of the school, the nerds, the vain, the violent and others. Personally I think it's corny but fun and entertaining, I really liked it and I recommend it.

Lucy, "I'm everywhere" (2014)
lucy is an action film and sci-fi, especially for lovers of the human mind and their abilities, directed and written by Luc Besson and produced by EuropaCorp and Groupe TF1, this film is starring Scarlett Johansson, whose character is forced to exercise of "mule" for a Korean mafia that intends to introduce a powerful design drug into kilo bags that, when bursting inside your organism, provokes in it some physical as well as psychic abilities.
F 2014 at the Critics Choice Awards was Nominated for Best Actress - Action Scarlett Johansson for her performance in Lucy
The film, despite being fictitious, has an argument that aroused many doubts in me regarding the development of the human brain, what would happen if we developed more than 10% of the mind, which according to some scientists as humans have reached? well, the film gives us a prototype of what could happen when developing more than that percentage, also has a very realistic context in terms of the life of the protagonist before the drug is spread by your body, because like many real cases , there are many girls who voluntarily and involuntarily fall into the drug trafficking business and suffer lethal consequences.
Johansson's performance, intrigue and special effects are one of the many reasons why I recommend you watch Lucy.

The snake is one of the most represented figures in mythology and religions, throughout the world. In general, this animal symbolizes very different concepts, from creation to science, going through the most primitive evil or nature, depending on the culture, but all of them are interesting. Starting from the basis that you are interested in the ancestral cultures of history and how they organized or explained the consciousness and the subjective order of their surroundings: knowledge. This symbology and subjectivity is attractive and intriguing because it gives us a different vision or position in life, but also because it shows other forms of wisdom and interpretation, other ways of communicating. Especially if we look at the essence and the instincts, although without forgetting some progress that is still being studied, if its civilizations have not been forgotten and disappeared altogether.
The embrace of the snake is one of the most important films of the year (past and present) from various perspectives, from purely cinematographic to social or historical, and translates into a powerful argument against oblivion. The third feature film by Colombian Ciro Guerra tells the story of the shaman Karamakate (Nilbio Torres and Antonio Bolívar), an indigenous man who lives isolated in the Amazon rainforest after becoming the last survivor of his people, which takes place in 1909 and 1940, years in which he will meet two scientists called Theodor Koch-Grünberg (Jan Bijvoet) and Richard Evans Schultes (Brionne Davis), who are looking for a mysterious plant cultivated by his tribe, and known as the yakruna. Karamakate has been transformed into a chullachaqui (a body without memories or emotions) and both interactions will help him to rediscover himself.
Thus, The snake's embrace traces an imposing and gray path through the depths of the Amazon, along its river, skirting paths and key stories that show a unique place of nature and representative of half a continent, and therefore also full of reality historical, which deals with a variety of topics and does so in an exceptional way, with a background discourse that should generate questions and other outstanding thoughts in the viewer, at the same time suggesting reflections of an impressive aesthetic. A precise and complex work told with a simplicity and clarity so elementary that leaves, on occasion, any kind of resemblance or influence (depending on each film critic) in a simple curiosity, nothing alien to fascination, abstraction, beauty and understanding, in any case.
Having said that, I would like to recall some similarities that I have read throughout these months, since El embrazo de la serpiente went through the 2015 Cannes Film Festival, to get an idea, and add two more that I felt after seeing the film ( I felt, yes). The clearest are Apocalypse Now (and therefore Aguirre, the wrath of God), Fitzcarraldo or Apocalypto (although I did not see it), especially because of what the jungle and the river mean and provoke in the minds of whites; to which I would attach 2001: A Space Odyssey, and Enter the Void. Already put ... The earthly world and the abstract come together in the search for knowledge, the most global knowledge possible, between anacondas and cougars, between interests and abuse, between madness and assimilation, which transforms and transits through various themes and landscapes. In short, The embrace of the snake is a film lesson full of lucidity.
Knowledge is for all, and of all times.

In short, The embrace of the snake is a film lesson full of lucidity.
Knowledge is for all, and of all times.

Flipped.(2010)
I dream of a story like Flipped.
I think a person's first love is very important, since in almost all of them it turns out to be pure and innocent in many ways, and in addition to this I am fascinated by its unique development, which is why I flipped me captive.
This romantic comedy is adapted by Rob Reiner(2010) from the book Flipped written by Wendelin Van Draanen in 2003. Here is a romance told in two voices, that of Juli Becker (Madelin Carrol) and that of Bryce Loski (Callan Macrtuliffe).
Everything starts from their first meeting, when Bryce moves to the front of Juli's house, from the moment they cross looks Juli runs to him and Bryce flees from her.
After a time where Juli is obsessed with her neighbor and paints him as a gentleman, different situations make her fall into reality and realize the true essence of this; On the other hand Bryce after considering Juli as a dangerous and unpleasant girl, in the begin to bloom very confused feelings around her; But the real questioner is, will it be too late when Bryce realizes the true feelings he has towards Juli? Will these two end with a happy ending?
Including another subject of the film, in this one it can be evidenced as in many occasions a person is judged by his social class and not by his true way of being.
I totally recommend this movie, it's one of my favorites. Because of its fun and wonderful way.

TAU

The genre of this movie is horror and science fiction.

The film was released on June 29, 2018 and directed by Federico D'Alessandro and written by Jon Spaihts Scott Derrickson from a screenplay by Noga Landau.

Julia is a loner who earns money as a thief in crappy nightclubs. One night, she is abducted from her home and wakes up locked and gagged in a dark prison inside a house with two other people, each with an implant on the back of her neck. Julia as the "subject 3", is forced to endure a series of tortuous psychological sessions by a shadowy figure in a laboratory. One night, she steals a pair of scissors from the laboratory and destroys the laboratory in an attempt to escape, but she is stopped and the other two subjects are killed by a robot in the house, Aries, is run by an artificial intelligence, called Tau .

This movie catches you, you can feel the terror of the girl in the course of the movie but at the same time the friendship between her and TAU.

I would give the TAU four stars out of five. I recommend this movie, because I liked it a lot, the music makes us "enter the movie".

Lady Bird - Real and Relatable
I think the genre for this movie is comedy-drama. It is clearly aimed at teenagers who are having problems in high school, like me.
It was directed by Gretta Gerwig and it starred Saoirse Ronan, who did a really good job, it was also released on November the 3rd 2017 and it won two Golden Globes for best actress and best motion pictures.
It tells the story of a common teenager and her struggle with life and love.
In my opinion, I think it was a catching and really good movie, it presents the real environment we teens face and one of the many reactions we can have in a rebellious face. I will give it 5 stars because I think it was pretty accurate.

Life Is Beautiful
Life is Beautiful is a film with a great positive message that presents a vision that Guido always had and transmitted to his son Giosa despite the situation that he lived during the Nazi era as well as the atrocities that were committed against the Jews and the holocausts. .

Despite the reality that was experienced during World War II, the film is presented as a drama or tragicomedy that shows that having a positive attitude and listening to those around us can totally change our way of thinking, seeing things and to face the problems This is what can be considered as something negative in what I like most about this film, that all that I need ahead is the happiness and innocence of his son and not to disturb her.

Guido lives in pre-fascist Italy and presents himself as a good person with a dream: owning his own book store. One day he meets Dora, a young teacher from the local school. Des-fortunately, the woman, who calls Princess, is engaged and, worst of all, her boyfriend is a fascist officer with whom Guido has another problem. However, Guido does not give up and seduces Dora.
Years later, Guido and Dora are married and have a son: Giosue. In addition, Guido is the owner of the book store he dreamed of so much But now Italian citizens have to accept order, something to which Guido is opposed, especially considering that he is a father. His determination becomes a matter of life and death when he and his son are sent to a concentration camp three months before the end of the war. For love, Dora deports herself in the same train.

In the end the film leaves an impressive message because even though the father dies, Giosue does not suffer at all from all the traumas that he had caused to be in the racist and degrading conditions in which the Germans had the Jews. Then the Americans come to help and in this way Giosue and Dora remain alive despite the fact that her husband has died at the hands of the Germans. The lesson for Giosue is priceless and they will never forget Giodo for his bravery and courage in the midst of those terrible circumstances.

In this film, above all, highlights the kindness, faith and hope (which is never lost), and the illusion and good humor with which the protagonist tries to rescue the aftermath, which could be caused by the Second World War, to his little son.

In this aspect Guido looks at life with optimism, as if every second were the last, and above all with tons of humor. At no time collapses before the war, and with it, makes this war was a game between his son and him. In this way, he makes his son live the terrible World War II, but he is alive and not marked by what was that massacre. I can say that this film is a cross between comedy and romanticism about the power of laughter to move the human heart.

I give this film a five star rating: excellent.

One day both meet at a New Year party, performing the song "Start of something new".

Little by little they begin to know each other until they reach the point of falling in love with one another, having to face their different tastes for things (sports, classes, etc.) in order to be together.
The film brings us, romance, fun, suspense, with some musicality at every moment. The acting is very good, with a happy ending, giving continuation to its two sequels.
I love this movie plus its two sequels, it's my favorite movie from childhood until now, so my inspiration came from basketball and dancing.

The main film of the year is this one. It ranks with world-famous films. The action of the film is set on … guess where. I think the film starts unusual. The plot is rather simple.

The main character is great. To my mind, the brillant acting of actors, who are starring in the film, is above all expectations. What impressed me most is not only acting but also the quality of the film.

To sum up, I can say that it is that kind of film that takes us to a special world. More than that, this is the film that you want to watch over and over again. Definitely, the film couldn’t be missed.

Crossing stories.

Crossing stories It is definitely a drama movie.

The film was made in 2011, Based on Maids and Ladies by Kathryn Stockett. Directed by tate taylor and produced by 1492 Pictures.
The film is starring Emma Stone, Viola Davis and Bryce Dallas Howard. This film won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress (Octavia Spencer), an award from the actors' syndicate for best cast, best actress and best supporting actress, a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress (Octavia Spencer) and a BAFTA Award to best supporting actress (Octavia Spencer).

"Skeeter" Phelan (Emma Stone) who is a 23 year old girl who has returned to her home in Jackson, Mississippi, to the south of the United States, after finishing his studies at the state university. With the idea of ​​being a writer, in the middle of the 60s she begins to see her social environment with different eyes, while her mother only thinks of marrying her. She transforms her village as she writes a column on domestic chores for the local newspaper, befriends the black maids who work for the families of the town, including her own. In the process, Skeeter becomes a secret militant against discrimination, especially after her former best friend Hilly begins a campaign to pass a law that requires employers to provide separate toilets for "servitude". supposedly to prevent the spread of diseases. Skeeter knows from her own experience, having been raised by an African-American nurse as well as by her own mother (Allison Janney), that "maids" are an integral part of the family structure, and that requiring them to use segregated, lower-quality facilities is not It is only unfair, but cruel.

Crossing stories, speaks of racism, speaks of a blind society, dazed ignorant, speaks to us, and we feel that in the skin as the protagonists, strength, values ​​and ideals, speaks of love for the another, without waiting for return, tells us about us.
The film speaks for itself, with some low blows but how they are always well sustained and justified.
This film is a great little story, of those that do not abound today on the big screen, it is a great story from its construction, from its direction and especially from its performances.
I would give crossed stories five stars and I would definitely recommend that you look at it!

Since Steven Spielber is of Jewish descent, describes the cruelty of these executors but out of respect in the film the picture is presented in black and white.
Oscar Shindler was an Austrian-German industrial entrepreneur who had his status as a powerful industrialist who moved with a lot of freedom within Nazi Germany, he did not manage to persuade the magnitude of the evil they did to the Jews residing in Germany. see with their own eyes the olocausto to start secretly, managing their influences and start the rescue of some of these Jews concentrated in ghettos and be able to save using them as workers of their factories, this caused inconvenience but in the end it is said that the Except for more than 10 thousand Jews until the end of the war when it is over, it is said that Shindler encouraged others to do the same.
As a final comment and rescuing the message, we can say that the courage of this industrialist, risking his own life, achieved the only saving of innocent people, for the simple fact of professing a different hidden religion and that today there will be many people who do the good and that these stories deserve to be told and in some way exalt the value to all humanity.

REVIEW OF THE FILM "THE FAUNO LABYRINTH"
Pubblicato il 29 giugno 2016 da silviafiandino
El Laberinto del Fauno is a fantastic Spanish-Mexican film from 2006 written, produced and directed by Guillermo del Toro.
The story takes place at the time of the Spanish Civil War and more precisely in the year 1944, five years after its end.

Tells the story of a 13-year-old girl, Ofelia, who moves with her mother Carmen (pregnant and therefore in a delicate state of health) to a village in the Aragonese Pyrenees where her stepfather Vidal is who wants to be close to her woman when the child is born. This man is a cruel captain of the Francoist Armed Police and his mission is to eliminate the last Republican rebels hidden in the mountains of the area.

In this town, Ophelia discovers the ruins of a labyrinth where she finds a faun, a strange creature with a human aspect but with goat's feet and horns. He makes a revelation: she is Moanna, the daughter of the kings of a kingdom that is under the earth; After rising to the surface to learn about the human world, the princess lost her memory and died from the exposure of her body to weather and diseases, but her father was sure that her soul still existed without memory of the kingdom. In order to return to her kingdom, Ofelia has to pass three tests before the full moon. These tests appear in the pages of a magic book and although she makes some mistakes, the girl manages to overcome them. This film is a mixture of fantasy and reality. The three tests, the faun, the labyrinth and the kingdom of the princess belong to the fantasy world while the struggles between Franco and republicans belong to reality. The strong scenes are a reflection of the cruelty and aggressiveness of the Francoists who killed all the rebels in a raw and unhuman way.

In my opinion, this film is excellent under different points of view. In the first place, it is an exhaustive portrait of the horrors of the postwar period and the evil of the human being; Many scenes are bloody but realistic because unfortunately this is what happened in those years. In addition, and the pace is sustained throughout the film. The fantasy part is very well developed and there is no lack of suspense especially in the second test that Ofelia has to overcome. The tape also gives us many special effects; the creatures (the Faun, the Pale Man, the toad ...) are very well achieved.

If you like fantastic stories and imaginary worlds, this is your movie but I do not advise you to watch it if you are easily impressed with blood ... and I do not recommend it to a child audience due to the scenes of war.

The title is Perfect Strangers, this is a funny comedy about new technologies such as the mobile phone and the messages that three couples receive and one man during a dinner. They must put their mobile phone on the table and when one of them receives a message, he must show it to others. There are many funny scenes.

The film was made in 2017. This film was directed by Alex de la Iglesia. The main role is played by Belén Rueda, for me one of the best Spanish actresses. The film is also starring Ernesto Alterio, Pepón Nieto and Eduardo Noriega. I recommend watching this movie, I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

SKYFALL
Skyfall (titled 007: Operation Skyfall in Hispano-America) is the twenty-third James Bond film produced by Eon Productions. He has Daniel Craig in his third performance as James Bond, and Javier Bardem as Raoul Silva, the villain of the film. It was directed by Sam Mendes and written by Neal Purvis, Robert Wade and John Logan, and features an Oscar-winning song, sung by Adele. It was distributed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) and Columbia Pictures.5

The story centers on Bond investigating an attack on MI6; the attack is part of a plot by former MI6 agent Raoul Silva to humiliate, discredit and kill M as revenge against her for betraying him. The film marks the return of two recurring characters in the series after an absence of two films: Q, played by Ben Whishaw, and Eve Moneypenny, played by Naomie Harris. Skyfall is the last film in the series by Judi Dench, who played M, a role she had played in the previous six films. The position is later occupied by the character of Ralph Fiennes, Gareth Mallory.

Mendes was approached to direct the film after the release of Quantum of Solace in 2008. The development was suspended when MGM encountered financial problems and did not resume until December 2010; during this time, Mendes remained attached to the project as a consultant. The original scriptwriter, Peter Morgan, left the project during the suspension. When production resumed, Logan, Purvis and Wade continued to write what became the final version of the script. Filming began in November 2011 and took place mainly in the United Kingdom, with smaller portions filmed in China and Turkey.
In conclusion, it is very easy to get to find very varied reviews depending on the degree of search by the viewer.

For the fans of agent 007's red bone it seems to be more of a tribute than a new proposal and that will leave them wondering where the context of James Bond in modern cinema is going.

For those of us who already had a perspective on Daniel Craig's new Bond, everything that had already been proposed since the epic Casino Royale seems to be lost, in order to reach a more varied audience.

And for those who just enter the cinema of agent 007, it seems to be a new experience and the beginning of a new aesthetic and a new presentation that will set a tone for the consequent films of the most famous spy of cinema.

And that a new boy has arrived at the karate class called Tim Staples whom Gabe associates with Ashton Kutcher; This boy has "stolen" his love. As time goes by, Gabe tries to approach Rosemary. But it ends up getting frustrated and that makes them distance themselves. When he collides with what love really is, he receives advice from his father whose marriage has failed because of things that were not said. Aware that she will be away for a long time, Gabe goes in search of Rosemary to declare her love. He arrives at the marriage of Rosemary's aunt, she approaches him and he takes the opportunity to declare his love. She tells him that she is not mature enough to be ready for love, but that she is really happy that it came. She invites him to dance and Gabe accepts. As the dance progresses Gabe realizes that they are different people who are going to take different directions. When he returns home, he finds his parents laughing about their honeymoon experiences. Surprised at the same time, when his father tells him that he has "taken some old things out of the basement". They go out to eat together like a typical happy family.
On the other hand, the most curious of the recording of it is that the actress Charlie Ray grew so fast during the shoot that in several scenes Josh Hutcherson had to stay on top of a box to maintain the same height.
In conclusion, the film leads us to have a moving and tender story that shows some of the facets and problems of leaving behind childhood and face the knowledge of our own being and evidence much of our first love as well as that unpleasant stage of not interacting with girls at our young age, causes different emotions to see the film because we feel identified and can transport ourselves in time to situations that only remain in our mind and will never come back.

The Pan's Labyrinth
The film takes place at the time of the Spanish Civil War precisely in 1944, five years after its end.
The story is about a 13-year-old girl, Ophelia, who moves with her mother Carmen, who is pregnant and therefore in a delicate state of health, to a village in the Aragonese Pyrenees where her stepfather Vidal lives. of his wife when the child is born. This man is a cruel captain of the Francoist Armed Police and his mission is to eliminate the last Republican rebels hidden in the mountains of the area. In this town, Ophelia discovers the ruins of a labyrinth where she finds a faun, a strange creature with a human aspect but with goat's feet and horns. He makes a revelation: she is Moanna, the daughter of the kings of a kingdom that is under the earth; after rising to the surface to know the human world, the princess lost her memory and died of her body's exposure to weather and disease, but her father was sure that her soul still existed without a memory of the kingdom This movie is excellent under different points of view. In the first place, it is an exhaustive portrait of the horrors of the postwar period and the evil of the human being; Many scenes are bloody but realistic because unfortunately this is what happened in those years. In addition, and the pace is sustained throughout the film. The fantasy part is very well developed and there is no lack of suspense especially in the second test that Ofelia has to overcome. The tape also gives us many special effects such as creatures.

Life Is Beautiful
Life is Beautiful is a film with a great positive message that presents a vision that Guido always had and transmitted to his son Giosa despite the situation that he lived during the Nazi era as well as the atrocities that were committed against the Jews and the holocausts. .

Despite the reality that was experienced during World War II, the film is presented as a drama or tragicomedy that shows that having a positive attitude and listening to those around us can totally change our way of thinking, seeing things and to face the problems This is what can be considered as something negative in what I like most about this film, that all that I need ahead is the happiness and innocence of his son and not to disturb her.

Guido lives in pre-fascist Italy and presents himself as a good person with a dream: owning his own book store. One day he meets Dora, a young teacher from the local school. Des-fortunately, the woman, who calls Princess, is engaged and, worst of all, her boyfriend is a fascist officer with whom Guido has another problem. However, Guido does not give up and seduces Dora.
Years later, Guido and Dora are married and have a son: Giosue. In addition, Guido is the owner of the book store he dreamed of so much But now Italian citizens have to accept order, something to which Guido is opposed, especially considering that he is a father. His determination becomes a matter of life and death when he and his son are sent to a concentration camp three months before the end of the war. For love, Dora deports herself in the same train.

In the end the film leaves an impressive message because even though the father dies, Giosue does not suffer at all from all the traumas that he had caused to be in the racist and degrading conditions in which the Germans had the Jews. Then the Americans come to help and in this way Giosue and Dora remain alive despite the fact that her husband has died at the hands of the Germans. The lesson for Giosue is priceless and they will never forget Giodo for his bravery and courage in the midst of those terrible circumstances.

In this film, above all, highlights the kindness, faith and hope (which is never lost), and the illusion and good humor with which the protagonist tries to rescue the aftermath, which could be caused by the Second World War, to his little son.

In this aspect Guido looks at life with optimism, as if every second were the last, and above all with tons of humor. At no time collapses before the war, and with it, makes this war was a game between his son and him. In this way, he makes his son live the terrible World War II, but he is alive and not marked by what was that massacre. I can say that this film is a cross between comedy and romanticism about the power of laughter to move the human heart.

Guido lives in pre-fascist Italy and presents himself as a good person with a dream: owning his own book store. One day he meets Dora, a young teacher from the local school. Des-fortunately, the woman, who calls Princess, is engaged and, worst of all, her boyfriend is a fascist officer with whom Guido has another problem. However, Guido does not give up and seduces Dora.
Years later, Guido and Dora are married and have a son: Giosue. In addition, Guido is the owner of the book store he dreamed of so much But now Italian citizens have to accept order, something to which Guido is opposed, especially considering that he is a father. His determination becomes a matter of life and death when he and his son are sent to a concentration camp three months before the end of the war. For love, Dora deports herself in the same train.

In the end the film leaves an impressive message because even though the father dies, Giosue does not suffer at all from all the traumas that he had caused to be in the racist and degrading conditions in which the Germans had the Jews. Then the Americans come to help and in this way Giosue and Dora remain alive despite the fact that her husband has died at the hands of the Germans. The lesson for Giosue is priceless and they will never forget Giodo for his bravery and courage in the midst of those terrible circumstances.

In this film, above all, highlights the kindness, faith and hope (which is never lost), and the illusion and good humor with which the protagonist tries to rescue the aftermath, which could be caused by the Second World War, to his little son.

In this aspect Guido looks at life with optimism, as if every second were the last, and above all with tons of humor. At no time collapses before the war, and with it, makes this war was a game between his son and him. In this way, he makes his son live the terrible World War II, but he is alive and not marked by what was that massacre. I can say that this film is a cross between comedy and romanticism about the power of laughter to move the human heart.

Pacific Rim (titled Titans of the Pacific in Hispanic America) is a 2013 science fiction film directed by Guillermo del Toro, written by Del Toro and Travis Beacham, and starring Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Rinko Kikuchi, Charlie Day, Robert Kazinsky, Max Martini, and Ron Perlman. The film is set in the decade of 2020, when the Earth is attacked by Kaijus, colossal monsters that have emerged from an interdimensional portal at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, called "The Abyss". To fight the monsters, humanity was created to create Jaegers: gigantic humanoid machines, each of which were called Transformers Headmasters. Focusing on the later days of the war, the story continues to be Raleigh Becket, a jaero pilot named after his retirement, who is associated with pilot Mako Mori in an effort to defeat the kaijus.

Del Toro envisages the Pacific Basin as a colorful adventure story, with a "very spacious and luminous feeling", in contrast to the "super-dark melancholic cynical summer cinema". The director focused on "great and beautiful sophisticated visuals" and action that satisfies an adult audience, but has shown that his main idea is to introduce the genes and the wick in the children's generation. based largely on these genres, avoids references directly to previous works. Del Toro's intention is to create something original, but "madly in love" with his influences, imbued with "epic beauty" and "operatic grandeur". The final credit dedicates the film to Ray Harryhausen and Ishiro.
