  2. - It focuses on a Canadian immigrant named Margaret, who is notified of her deportation due to the expiration of her visa. Determined to keep the executive position, she convinces her assistant, Andrew, to temporarily act as her fiancé. Initially they would leave their relationship when she solved her legal problems, but finally they give up on that plan when they feel attracted to each other.
    - The movie is The Proposal
    - This movie took 2 months to record, although in 2005 they started with the script and recorded it in 2008. This movie was released in 2009 and it was very successful, obviously it had to be that way since the main actors were Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds.
    - It is a romantic comedy film, although it has everything, it is for all to see. In it you can see things far fetched, things that do not seem true, but it is. It is like a up and down of emotions.

  4. Confessions of a shopaholic is a romantic-comedy movie that introduces us to Rebecca "Becky" Bloomwood who in her childhood; her super saver parents, they made her wear clothes that according to her mother were practical despite not being fashionable; and as the years go by she becomes a journalist, her dream is to work in a fashion magazine. Unfortunately, she works at a gardening magazine and is unable to control her impulse to buy more and more, leading her to spend all her salary and more, ending up completely in debt. Despite that, her roommate and best friend Suze, warns her and tries to control her addiction to shopping; she's trying to apply for the writing position for Alette's magazine, will the interview go well or not?
    The film shows great angles of New York City, as well as amazing shots of fashionable costumes; plus a funny scene in an elevator. And a character like Becky that in my opinion you can be identified at times. Perhaps, the film does not show a heart-breaking ending or be a thought-provoking movie, but it is well written and will make you laugh many times.
    I would recommend this movie if you want to spend some time laughing and looking at some cool costumes.

  5. I first watch this movie 13 years ago. I have watched this movie many times and never get tired of it.
    The story is set primarily in the town of Forks, Washington. It all begins when Bella Swan moves with her father after her her mother remarries. On her first day at Forks High School, Bella's world changes forever when she meets Edward Cullen, the mysterious and heartbreaking boy seated next to her in biology class. Bella at the end of the story, shows to be someone strong-willed. Major themes in the Twilight Saga include love, choice, action-packed and the battle between good and evil. About the cinematography of the film, it's washed in blue-green colouring, giving it a particular atmosphere.
    In my opinion, this movie thought-provoking me a lot about teenage relationships and what the world looks like outside of what you know.

  6. Had you ever wondered how do emotions work? If the answer is yes you must be Inside Out (2015) a diseny pixar movie setting inside the Riley's mind. Riley is a girl, she always seem life from a positive perspective. The responsible from Riley's positive actitud is Joy, the emotion.It lives in Riley's mind with Anger, Sadness,Fear,Disgust, and they controle her actions and emotions. Joy is Strong-willed character, she only want that Riley had a happy memories, but all changes when Riley move on to San Francisco, which becomes a problem for her emotions and all the world inside Riley. To save it, Joy must embark on an exciting and dangerouse adventure. Will it succeed?

    The theme of the movie is that we can't always be happy and this is Okay. Show how our emotions can madure as we grow and that we can adapt to all situations. The film is a computer-animated comedy, apt for all public.

    I love this film because i think that it's ideal for explan the emotions, personality, memory and others psichological structures to child. I love-hate Joy because she not want to share the control to Riley but throughout the film we can see an evolution in Joy. I had a heart-breaking with Bing Bong, i love its loyalty (and i'll say nothing more).

    To teacher: I'm so sorry for delay, my comment was deleted and i had to rewrite it.

  7. Project X
    This movie tells the story of 3 unpopular high school students (Thomas, Costa and JB), all with completely different personalities, who decide to throw a pretty big birthday party when one of their parents goes away for the weekend and it quickly escalates out of control. The film is seemingly shot by their friend Dax on a portable camera and some other videos in a documentary style sequence. The movie is based on the real-life story about a boy who threw a huge party that involve the whole street.
    This movie is so much fun, it makes me want to go to a party and act ridiculously like them. It has a great soundtrack that makes you want to get up and dance too. The movie features dirty comedy, naked teens, scenes of drug and alcohol use, and is a non-stop thrilling experience. I've seen the movie many times and throughout the movie many of the characters were very easy to identify. Overall (despite being extremely far-fetched) the movie was relatable, although I was expecting a bit more development on the morning after the party.
    Don't watch this film if you're looking for an artistic one, watch it to be entertained. I would definitely recommend it because it is a movie that reminds you of the crazy things that are done in adolescence, you will love the movie especially if you are a teenager. You will probably enjoy it a lot since it is a movie that marked a generation, wanting to be imitated many times by teenagers.

  8. - An old retired military man does not find meaning in life, he believes that he no longer has anything to do in this life, because he has made many mistakes throughout his life and especially in the war since his friends died for him.
    His family assigns him a young university student to take care of him because the family is going on a trip. The young man awakens the old soldier's desire to live again, because the young man tells him that all mistakes are part of life and that he should not be enforceable for all mistakes. Thus, after many adventures, in the end the two become close friends until they see each other as part of the same family.

    - The movie is Scent of a Woman

    - This movie was recorded in 1992, directed by Martin Brest.
    It won many awards, including the Oscar won by Al Pacino for best actor.
    The actors who stand out in this film are: Chris O'Donnell, Gabrielle Anwar and Al Pacino.

    - It is a drama movie, that is very interesting because it teaches us about life, above all it teaches us leadership. I totally recommend this film, it is a thought provoking movie on life.
    To sum up, the film is one of those films that teaches us to value such special people, and that they should not be judged on their personality before understanding the reasons for their actions.

  10. "a walk to Remember"
    This film is about two teenagers from two different worlds, one of them is London Carter, who is the typical popular schoolboy, and Jamie Sullivan, a quiet girl who goes to church every Sunday and with a strict father, also lived with a terminal disease,but despite this, he lived a quiet life, because with what little he could have he felt happy, he had the habit of seeing the sky at night and admiring the stars, that is why the main spaces that are seen in the film are areas free where the sky is clear
    The genre of the film is Drama, and it is a romantic and adolescent cinema inspired by the novel written by Nicholas Sparks.
    I can recommend the movie because I feel like it's a classic love story and it's action packed, because
    It is with moments in which with strong will and with a heartbroking you seek to overcome difficult situations such as the loss of a loved one.

  11. Stargirl
    This film is based on the book with its same name. It’s a romantic and dramatic movie and was released last year, it’s available on Disney+ platform.
    Stargirl is setting in Arizona, USA, and starts when she—yes, her name is Stargirl¬—arrives to school and revolutionizes everything with her particular way of being, always carrying with her her ukulele, flowers, and this magical thing that anybody can’t explain. There she meets Leo and, with the passage of time, they become good mates. Anyway, by the time he tries to understand where is she from or why she chose him, she teaches him a lesson: Just be yourself, don’t matter about what people think about you. Stay strong-willed and be authentic!
    This movie is going to catch you from start to finish—obviously if you are one of these people who loves this kind of romantic, fantasy movies—. It probably won’t make you cry, but it’s likely to leave you wondering why certain things happened. Also, I have to say the soundtrack used is excellent, trust me.
    I absolutely recommend it, it’s a soft film that gives you a thought-provoking time and lets you know you just have to be yourself and do what your heart tells you.

  12. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
    Is a fantasy adventure film based on the famous and well written book by J.R. Tolkien. It is a movie with action packed because the principal character, Frodo, need to overcome different obstacles to reach the mountain at all costs to destroy the ring.
    This film is the third in the J.R. Tolkien trilogy. This time, continuing the battle to destroy the ring of power when Gandalf, the white wizard, goes to Minas Tirith, where the final battle for the control of the earth in middle ages will take place.
    The Riders of Rohan muster their forces, preparing to ride to the aid of Minas Tirith. As Sauron's forces surround the capital of Gondor and the legions of darkness gather to defeat the race of men. Meanwhile, Rohan's King Theoden unites his loyal warriors outside the city and leads them to battle alongside Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas.
    There are several exciting moments, among them a heart breaking, when the king of Rohan is mortally wounded by the leader of the Nazgul, but at that moment his daughter Eowyn appears with a strong willed, to fight and kill the supposedly invincible enemy.
    While the battle keeps Sauron distracted, Frodo and his faithful friend Sam travel across enemy territory to cast the golden one ring into the fires of Mount Doom. The closer Frodo gets, the heavier his burden becomes.
    Without a doubt, if you want to live an unforgettable experience and endless exciting moments I definitely recommend this movie. You’ll not regret it.
