Modern Family is a series on Netflix. It’s a comedy and it’s directed by Michael Spiller. It includes one big family, that is divided into three that are somehow related. There isn’t just one main character, there are many. For example, there is Ed O'Neill played by Jay Pritchett, Sofìa Vergara as Gloria Pritchett, Sarah Hyland as Haley Dunphy, Ariel Winter as Alex Dunphy, Julie Bowen as Claire Dunphy, Eric Stonestreet as Cameron Tucker, Ty Burrell as Phil Dunphy, Nolan Gould as Luke Dunphy, Jesse Tyler Ferguson as Mitchell Pritchett, Aubrey Anderson-Emmons as Lily Tucker-Pritchett, Rico Rodriguez as Manny Delgado and Jeremy Maguire as Fulgencio Joseph Pritchett. I like the series, because there are often very funny scenes.

The plot has some surprises and is easy to follow. The series follows the lives of three different family set-ups. One family consists of Jay Pritchett, Gloria Pritchett, Manny Delgado and Fulgencio Joseph Pritchett. Jay Pritchett is the father of Claire Dunphy who is the mom of Luke, Alex and Haley and the partner of Phil. Mitchell Pritchett is the son of Jay Pritchett. Jay is gay and is together with Cameron Tucker. They have also a little girl whose name is Lily. Every day something happens in their lives. They spend almost every day together and live an interesting life.

The themes are homosexuality, racism, age differences, family values and gender. In addition to the the funny plot, there is also quite a lot of humour intact although the series deals with serious topics. I like this series, although it’s a little bit long, but it’s worth it. I watched the whole series on Netflix. I watched it when I was younger and I watch it  now. You will laugh all the time.

Once  Phil Dunphy said these words: “It’s gonna be tough to say goodbye… it always is. Nobody loves change. But part of life is learning to let things go.”

The series I chose is called “The Vampire Diaries” is an American supernatural teen drama, developed by Kevin Williamson and Julie Plec. The main characters are Elena Gilbert, Stefan Salvatore, Damon Salvatore, Bonnie Bennett, Caroline Forbs, played by Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley, Ian Somerhalder, Kat Graham, Candice King. The series is very long but I loved it, it was worth it.

The series is set in the town of Mystic Falls, Virginia, a town charged with supernatural history. It follows the life of Elena Gilbert, a teenage girl who has just lost both parents in a car accident, as she falls in love with a 162-year-old vampire named Stefan Salvatore. Their relationship becomes very complicated as Stefan's mysterious older brother Damon Salvatore returns with a plan to bring back their past love Katherine Pierce, a vampire who looks exactly like Elena. Although Damon initially hated his brother for forcing him to become a vampire, he later reconciles with Stefan and falls in love with Elena, creating a love triangle among the three. Both brothers protect Elena. The brothers' history and the town's mythology are revealed through flashbacks as the series goes on.

This series is one of my favorite ones. I loved watching it and I loved to watch how the relationship of Elena, Damon and Stefan turned out.

To some up, I would recommend this series above all to fantasy fans and people that like to watch longer series because the series consists of 8 seasons. I especially recommended it to girls. Don’t miss it.

Reign is a historama about the life of Mary Stewart, the queen of Scots.The Netflix series was produced by Norman Bailey. The main characters are Mary Stwart, Francis II of France, Catherine de' Medici, Sebastian "Bash" de Portaires, Lady Greer, Leith Bayard, Elizabeth I of England, Lord Darnley and Gideon Blackburn. The actors represent the real people very well as it's exactly how I would imagine queens. I watched the series once and I love it.

The series is about Mary Stewart, the queen of Scotland. She comes to France to marry her fiancé Francis. But she quickly notices that she is being disregarded by the mother of the heir to the throne. The reason for this is a prophecy from Nostradamus, the court doctor. There are many intrigues and affairs involved.

The series is for people who are interested in people who have really lived. They should also love historical dramas and love stories. There are many surprising acts. If you want an exciting ending, you shouldn't google the main characters like me and find out about their lives.

To sum up, I have learned a lot of things, for example what is important in life. It's the most beautiful and best series I've ever seen. You should watch the series because it teaches you to love and appreciate yourself.

The title of the film is Riverdale and the genre is teen drama. There have been many directors working on the series, such as  Steven A. Adelson, Rob Seidenglanz, Kevin Rodney Sullivan, Pamela Romanowsky. The main characters are Betty Cooper, Jughed Jones, Veronica Lodge, Archie Andrews, Cheryl Blossom played by Lili Reinhart, Cole Sprouse, Camila Mendes, K.J. Apa, Madelein Petsch.

The innocent, small town, Riverdale is turned upside down after it is struck by the mysterious death of Jason Blossom, a popular high school student and member of the most powerful family in town. Archie Andrews discovers his love for music. Betty Cooper unravels her feelings for Archie, and her family secrets. Veronica Lodge is the new girl, who is a threat to cheerleading captain Cheryl Blossom, Jason's twin sister. Archie, Betty, Veronica, and Jughead explore the struggles of everyday life in a small town whilst taking on the haunting case of Jason Blossom. In order to solve this mystery, the group of friends must first unlock the secrets that lie buried deep beneath surface of their hometown. Riverdale may not be as innocent as it appears.

Personally, I think Riverdale is one of the best series I’ve ever seen. I have watched all episodes and my favorite season is the first one. The one I liked least is the fourth, because it gets very boring. I found the characters very interesting and the plot convincing and memorable.

To some up, the series was very interesting to watch and I think it's a series for everyone. It makes everyone cheer along with the characters. Don’t miss it.

Black Panther

Black Panther is a science-fiction / action film by director Ryan Coogler. The film shows one of the most loved characters in the comic, Black Panther. The actor of the main character “Black Panther” was Chadwick Boseman, who died recently. I like this film a lot, because it was so well structured with a nice backstory, and because we finally got a black main character.

The story is quite convincing, easy to follow, the special effects are great and not too many. The plot is predictable, but sometimes it reserves some surprises. The film isn’t so memorable as there are only some parts that contain some epic battles. The same applies for the soundtracks. The dialogues aren't dull, but not funny either...they are more interesting. The ending is dramatic, but almost not too much. Although 2/3 parts are too long, they are very entertaining.

The characters that most appeared were obviously Chadwick Boseman, Michael B. Jordan, Letita Wright, Martin Freeman, Andy Serkis and last but not least, Stan Lee. All these actors made the film became a famous and fantastic one.

If you watch the film, tell me how it was for you. I'd love to read your comments.

Community
Community is a sitcom series by director Dan Harmon. It has six seasons. I think it’s a great and funny series and it’s never boring to watch it. The main characters are Jeff Winger played by Joel McHale, Britta Perry by Gillian Jacobs, Abed Nadir by Danny Pudi, Shirley Bennett by Yvette Nicole Brown, Troy Barnes by Donald Glover and Pierce Hawthorne by Chevy Chase.

The plot of Community isn’t very predictable. Jeff Winger, a lawyer, gets suspended from his job because someone found out that he had lied about having a bachelor’s degree. Now he has to earn a real degree and enrolls at Greendale Community College. On his first day of college, he meets a classmate called Britta, an activist, and he pretends to run a study group for Spanish to spend time with her. Britta then ends up inviting another classmate, Abed. Abed is obsessed with pop culture and socially awkward. He proceeds to invite even more classmates to the study group: religious single mom Shirley, high school football star Troy, over-achiever Annie and elderly millionaire Pierce. They all end up becoming friends and they form an actual study group. Throughout their years in college, they experience many adventures and help the dean to make Greendale seem more respectable. The plot has many surprises.

The characters each have their own developments until the end of the series. For example, Jeff learns to be less selfish and Annie learns, that she doesn’t always have to be perfect and eventually becomes less naïve. The relationships between the characters are very realistic and convincing and I think it’s nice that everyone in the study group has an individual relationship with all the others. It’s very entertaining and funny when they try to solve problems and cheat their way through some courses together. The script is humorous and never dull. It uses a lot of meta-humour and pop culture references. In almost every episode Abed compares his friends to people he has seen on pop culture series and movies. It’s hilarious when he and Troy film weather forecasts for Greendale or rap in Spanish. The most memorable episodes are the ones where the study group tries to throw parties for Halloween or Christmas, because they’re always chaotic and funny.

To sum up, I think Dan Harmon has created a hilarious series that is always fun to watch. I think it has something for everyone, but I recommend it the most to people that are very interested in pop culture.

The fault in our Stars is a sad romance movie, by director Josh Boone. Hazel Grace Lancaster played by Shailene Woodley and Augustus Waters also called “Gus” are the main actors. Katharina and I liked the film because it was kind of sad and sometimes I really like to watch this type of movies, especially when I feel sad.

Even though the plot is a bit predictable there are lots of little surprises throughout the movie. “The fault in our Stars” is a fascinating movie about a young teenage girl who has been diagnosed with lung cancer and joins a cancer support group. Hazel is 16 and unwilling to go to the support group, but she soon realizes that it was a good idea. Hazel meets a young boy named Augustus Waters who is charming and witty. Augustus has had osteosarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer but he has been cured a while ago. Hazel and Augustus go on a roller coaster ride of emotions, including love, sadness and romance. They travel to Amsterdam in search of Peter Van Houten the author of their favorite book called “An Imperial Affliction”.

I really liked the movie because several times there are very funny dialogues. For example, when Gus said to Hazel something about her breathing problem when she was walking up the stairs. She answered like:” I know it sounds for you like there is a hippopotamus behind you “.  The relationship between Augustus and Hazel is very convincing. All in all, the movie has some really humorous scenes and the dialogues are rarely dull, but mainly at the end the scenes are very sad.

To sum up, director Josh Boone did a great job. In the movie “The fault in our Stars” there is a nice message. We should appreciate what we have and that we are in good health. In this movie there are a lot romantic scenes so I can recommend this film to every romantic lover. Each time I havw watched this film, I was very touched when I saw all these teenagers suffering of cancer, because only then I realized how happy I can be that my family and I are all healthy. Hazel once said:" I fell in love the way you fall asleep, slowly, and then all at once."

Bailey - A Dog's Purpose is a 2017 American dramatic film directed by Lasse Hallström. The film is based on a novel. The main actors are Dennis Quaid as Ethan Montgomery, Josh Gad as voice for the dog Bailey, Britt Robertson as Hannah and Juliet Rylance as Elizabeth Montgomery, the mother of Ethan Montgomery.

The film is about a dog named Bailey who goes through several canine lives. First, he is born as a  golden- Retriever and comes to a young boy named Ethan Montgomery. He has a wonderful time with Ethan and this life was probably his best. After several years Bailey dies. Bailey is reborn as a female German Shepherd puppy, growing into a police dog named Ellie. However, after Ellie chases a kidnapper, she is shot by him. The film still has many surprises.

Bailey is a very beautiful film, for young and also older people. The plot is easy to follow and memorable, because the story is very interesting and easy to understand. The film has also many surprises and some action scenes. The dialogues sometimes are very funny and so you have something to laugh. In other parts they are also a bit serious and sometimes also sad. It’s a mixture of different feelings. The film takes 2 hours, I think it’s a bit long, because normally films take 1 hour and half. The main characters are Bailey, Ethan Montgomery, Hannah and Elizabeth, the mother of Ethan. They have all their own character and so everyone is very interesting. It’s a very happy end but it is predictable.

To sum up, Baily is a very beautiful film for everyone, with a nice plot, cool characters, action scenes, special effects and a happy end. Don’t miss it!

Doctor Strange is a fantasy-adventure-action film released in 2016 and directed by Scott Derrickson. Produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, it belongs to one of the films from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, based on the Marvel Comics written by Stan Lee. The main characters are Benedict Cumberbatch as Dr. Stephen Strange, Chiwetel Ejiofor as Karl Mordo, Rachel McAdams as Christine Palmer, Benedict Wong as Wong, Benjamin Bratt as Jonathan Pangborn, Mads Mikkelsen as Kaecilius and Tilda Swinton as the Ancient One. The film was a big success and got praised for its visuals, musical score, and cast. Moreover, it received an Academy Award nomination for Best Visual Effects.

Doctor Stephen Strange was primarily a surgeon, who lost his ability to hold still with his hands due a car accident. After several surgeries to heal his hands, Doctor Strange learns about Jonathan Pangborn, a paraplegic who mysteriously regained use of his legs. Pangborn directs Strange to Kamar-Taj, where he is taken in by Mordo, a sorcerer under the Ancient One. There he gets o know the mystic powers of the Ancient One, such as entering other dimensions like the Mirror Dimension. With the time he learns how to use the magic powers and is able to heal his hands. As the film goes on, the villain Kaecilius tries to steal pages from a forbidden magical book, with which he would be able to enter the Dark Dimension. By entering the Dark Dimension Kaecilius would receive superhuman powers, that could destroy the world within minutes. The film gets particularly exciting when Doctor Strange gets the honor to be the keeper of one of the Infinity Stones, the Time Stone. The Time Stone will give him the ability to reverse time and foresee the future.
Will Strange and his companions be able to protect the world?

For me, as a fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and action films, the film was one of the best, which I’ve ever seen. The actors really bring the characters to life well and their relationships are convincing. The dialogues are rarely dull and the storyline isn’t predictable at all. The film sometimes even messed with my brain because the special effects were extremely well made, especially when Doctor Strange enters other dimensions. Furthermore, the action scenes are spectacular and the soundtrack is made properly for the movie.

To sum up I think that the film is definitely a must-watch for people who like superhero movies and that it has got some of the best special effects ever made for a fantasy-action film. If you want to get stunned by the visual effects like me, go and watch the film!
Now the final question is: Will the upcoming sequel of Doctor Strange have even better special effects than the first movie?

My film “Mia and the white lion” is a family adventure which is placed in South Africa. The director of the film is Gilles de Maistre. I like the film a lot because of the special friendship between Mia (Daniah De Villiers) and the white lion Charlie, the emotional plot and the important message behind the film. The other main characters are Mia's father (Langley Kirkwood), her mother Mélanie Laurent) and her brother Mick (Ryan McLennan).

At the beginning of the film 11-year-old Mia and her family move to South Africa and there her parents buy a lions Farm. First the lions are annoying for Mia, but later in the film she becomes good friends with the lion Charlie. Then there are some special and surprising plot twists and the end is very exciting but also a bit predictable.

I like the film a lot, because the relationship between Mia and Charlie is incredible. In the film you can see how the lion grows up and he’s very cute as a baby. Also the adventures they get through are very exciting. Some scenes are unrealistic, like the scene in whicht Mia walks with Charlie through n shopping center and I don’t like the family drama.

In conclusion, I like the film a lot and it has a beautiful message. I recommend this film to all who like family adventures and the beautiful nature in South Africa.

Spider-Man: Far from home

Spider-Man: Far from home is a science-fiction-action film directed by Jon Watt and written by Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers. The film is the sequel to Spider-Man: Homecoming and Avengers: Endgame. It stars Tom Holland as Spider-Man, Jake Gyllenhaal as Mysterio, Zendaya as MJ, Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, and Jacob Batalon as Ned Leeds.

I liked how the plot developed. It is very interesting and comes with some surprises. Spider-Man goes on a school trip to Venice  with his class. As he arrives a moster known as one of the Elementals attacks Venice but gets saved by an unknown superhero named Mysterio. After he has saved Venice, Nick Fury invites him to join the Stark Industries and he accepts. After further attackts from other villains that Spider-Man didn't manage to stop, he decides to give Mysterio his glasses which were given to him by Tony Stark and could destroy the world because he thinks he's not worthy.

The relationships between the charachter especially between Spider-Man, MJ and Ned are really realistic because they played their roles very well and are also friends in real life, just like in the movie. The action scenes and the special effects are as spectacular as expected from a Marvel movie, for example the CGI for the Elementals. The film is also very humorous which makes it very entertaining and fun to watch. In regard to the costumes, they are also well made and deserved to be recognized.

To sum up, it's a must watch, it's very well made and easy to follow. I can't wait for the sequel to come out and to know how the story will continue. I can reccomend this film to all super heroe films lovers but it has something for everybody and prepare yourselve to have the soundtrack stuck in your head for the next few days. :)

The Big Bang Theory is an American sitcom created by Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady. The show premiered on CBS in September 2007, and concluded in May 2019, having a total of 279 episodes over twelve seasons. The main cast is Johnny Galecki as Leonard, Jim Parsons as Sheldon and Kaley Cuoco as Penny. I watched almost all episodes with my best friend, and we really enjoyed it, because the characters are very unique in their own way and watching their, sometimes very strange conversations was simply the best.

The plot is easy to follow and convincing. Basically, the story is about the three physicists Leonard, Sheldon and Raj and the engineer Howard. The counterpoint to these oblique figures is the rather average, very pretty, new neighbour Penny, who gets along well with the boys despite all the differences. Over time, the biologists Bernadette and Amy join the group and bring new wind into the life of the nerds. This sitcom is mainly about the everyday life of the scientists, who may have a high IQ but no social life. Therefore funny, great and also embarrassing situations arise again and again. The script is very humorous and entertaining. The ending of the film is rather predictable: The biggest dream of Sheldon Cooper was, to get the Nobel Prize-and, of course, in the last episode, he finally receives the award.

Personally, I really liked this series, because the characters are, as I said before, all unique in their own way. I don’t think that the plot or the script make this sitcom so special. It is the characters. A good example are Sheldon and Penny. Sheldon has an IQ of 187 but is very awkward in dealing with other people and only learns to understand jokes and sarcasm and how to use them himself in the course of the series. If he's made a joke, he usually says "Bazinga!" Penny, one the other hand, is pretty, open-minded, friendly and has a good sense of humour. Although she is not a genius, in contrast to the boys, she has good social knowledge and skilfully uses her feminine charms. The series didn’t have any impressive special effects, spectacular action scenes or special locations.

To sum up, I think, Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady did a very good job, writing and creating one of the most successful sitoms ever. The Big Bang Theory is one of the best series ever and I can just recommend it to you. Don’t miss it!

“Work It” is a romantic dance comedy by director Laura Terruso. The main characters are Quinn Ackerman, Jake Taylor and Jasmin Hale. I watched the film several times and it still gives me butterflies in my stomach. The film has a message and I’m convinced that it graps everyone. I love the dialogues and the personalities of the characters. The dance moves are incredible and the film is also a little reminder for us about what we are doing with our lives. Are we just living or do we love our lives?

There is the intelligent senior girl Quinn Ackerman and her dream is to attend Duke University. Her father was at that university and since he died it’s her and her mother's dream. She studies very hard, and it seems all perfect. But at the interview the woman said that she is similar to all the other applicants. Her last chance to standing out is being a member of her high school elite dance team. They are called “The Thunderbirds” and they are well known, because they are the reigning champions of the dance competition "Work It". But she has two left feet and she absolutely can’t dance. Her best friend Jasmin Hale is a member of the Thunderbirds and she dances like a pro. Quinn has to make her own dance group, so she convinces Jasmin to come from the Thunderbirds to her team. Now they are looking for the students with hidden dance skills. There are a lot diamonds in a rough at their school and as the team is complete. They only need a choreographer, Jake Taylor, who stopped competing after a knee injury. Before his accident he had been one of the best dancers. She goes to him and somehow she convinces him to choreograph her team for “Work It”. Quinn can’t dance, so Jake helps her and they spend a lot of time together. They are getting closer and closer.The plot of the film is very memorable, although it is at some parts a bit predictable, but I think when the film is about love it’s often the case.

The film is definitely something for dance and music lovers, but it keeps also an important message integrated. It is in a charming tone and there are some fun dance sequences. In my opinio,n this film keeps the watchers interested. Until the end, Quinn grows a lot in her character and I could identify myself a little bit with her. She is the completely opposite of her best friend Jasmin. On the one hand, there is Quinn, the nice girl who studies extremely hard and has a very clear structure for her life. Sometimes she forgets to live her life and not just to breathe. On the other hand, there is Jasmin who doesn’t get good grades, but she has found her passion and she lives for that.

The film is a good mix of friendship, dancing and love story. It’s well made and a quote for everyone, especially for us teenagers is: “The only memories we have are the ones that were like really fun. You know the times we spent with our friends, not the time we were studying at home!”

In conclusion, the film gives us something on our way, specifically for us teenagers. Sometimes we forget what’s the meaning of living. Our day is stressful, we want good grades, the school isn’t easy and this film reminds us a bit of doing the things we love. The director Laura Terruso has created a way to explain the meaning of living our life in a wonderful and inspirational film. You keep thinking days after you watched the film of the things they said. Why? Because the things they said are all right. If you want to achieve something, work hard but always remember: It’s your life, it’s your choice. Life is growth, and growth demands change.

“My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, Commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true Emperor Marcus Aurelius, father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife – and I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.”

Gladiator is an epic historical film directed by Ridley Scott and written by David Franzoni, John Logan and William Nicholson. The film was produced and released by DreamWorks Pictures and Universal Pictures. The main characters are played by some well-known actors, which bring them to life extremely well. Russell Crowe stars as the Roman general Maximus Decimus Meridius, Joaquin Phoenix as Commodus, Connie Nielsen as Lucilla, Tommy Flanagan as Cicero and Ralf Rudolf Möller as Hagen. The movie was a huge success, winning a large number of Oscars.

In the movie many things portrayed are similar to what really happened in Roman history. Some things in the film though are a little different in the actual history of the Roman Empire. However, but the plot is convincing, easy to follow and it has a lot of surprises.

A dying Marcus Aurelius plans to name his loyal and brave General Maximus as his successor in order to restore the power of the Roman Senate. However, his jealous son Commodus learns of the plan, murders his father, and plans to execute Maximus in order to secure his claim to the throne. Maximus escapes execution but is sold into slavery and is forced to become a gladiator. Eventually, Maximus and some other gladiators are sent to Rome to perform for the new emperor Commodus. Due to his bravery he wins over the masses and reveals his true identity. Can Maximus use his newly found popularity to avenge Marcus Aurelius' death, or will Commodus be able to keep the throne?

The characters and the relationships between them are convincing and more developed than in other famous movies. This spectacular action drama brings us face to face with our own blood lust. It also speaks volumes about the powerful emotions that animate the best and the worst in us. Of course, the special effects are very impressive and the action scenes are spectacular, especially the final battle when Commodus challenges Maximus to a duel in the Colosseum.
Overall, I liked Gladiator very much. Particularly, the issue of the rebellion of ordinary people against the emperor has, in my opinion, been very successful.

To sum up, director Ridley Scott has created one of the most memorable films of the twenty-first century. I would highly recommend Gladiator, especially if you are keen on epic historical films. It will have you on edge of your seat until the very end and I am sure you will not regret watching it. Don’t miss it!

Game of Thrones is an American fantasy drama television series created by David Benioffand D. B. Weiss. The main characters are Emilia Clarke as Daenerys Targaryen, Kit Harington as John Snow, Maisie Williams as Arya Stark, Sophia Turner as Sansa Stark and Peter Dinklage as Tyrion Lannister.

The plot is very varied. There are scenes that you would never imagine to really happen.  There are many wars and battles. Every family has an empire and an army. There are many fantasy creatures in the series such as well dragons, zombies and dead animals that have been resurrected. For me, the most memorable scenes are the wars and the ending which was very unexpected. There is a total of 8 seasons. Although that is quite a lot, it definitely pays off watching them all.

I feel something different for each character. I love a some and I hate a others. One character that I like very much is Arya Stark, daughter of King of Winterfell. She is very determined and would do anything to keep others safe. Another character is the dragon-mother of Tagaryen, who fights for her people.

I would definitely recommend the series. The best thing is that although the series is mainly made up with fantasy, it is presented so realistically that you think everything is real.

The series I chose is called “Money Heist”, produced by Àlex Pina. It’s a heist movie, a type of thriller. I am really addicted to this series. It grabbed me because so many unexpected things happen in the 1st season, which I am going to describe. Every member of the crew has city names and it’s forbidden to say your real name. The narrator is Tokyo, the others are called Rio, Denver, Berlin, Oslo, Nairobi, Moskau, Helsinki and, last but not least, the professor who planned the whole raid.

As I have already said, the professor is planning a raid of the money printing mint of Spain. The plan is to print their own money, so they don't need to steal it. With a pretext they break in and shackle 30 hostages in the mint. So, the police isn't going to attack them from the outside. They can't attack them in general, because they are all wearing red overalls and dalí masks, so the risk is to big for the police to shot a hostage. The professor, who isn’t inside the mint, plans everything down to the smallest detail. An exciting up and down begins and there is a lot of shooting going on. A race for the time: 2.5 billion € printed in 10 days.

On the one hand, I love this series because I admire the way the invented series is related to reality. They printed so much money in such a short time. But the question I asked myself was what are they going to do with all this money? Where will it go? On the other hand, the film keeps your attention because a lot of unexpected things happen. So for instance, the professor fell in love with the Inspectora Murillo. That turned their plan upside down and it's no longer clear who are actually the bad ones and who are the good ones.

I am literally obsessed by this series because it has such an exciting plot. I am not the only one with this opinion because Money Heist is the most streamed netflix series worldwide. The best scence in my opinion is in the ending, when one member dies and they all sing “bella ciao” together, which is a song that they sing for their resistance. I was crying during this scence, because you could feel that they were like a big family.

“Blue Is the Warmest Color” is a 2013 French romantic coming-of-age drama film written, produced, and directed by Abdellatif Kechiche.The main actors of the movie are Léa Seydoux as Emma and Adèle Exarchopoulos as Adèle. I’ve seen the movie twice and I’ll definitely watch it again because I really love the characters and the butterflies in my stomach, which come each time when I watch the film.

In the beginning, the movie revolves around Adèle, a quite introvert 15-year-old high-school student. She meets a boy named Thomas, but while they’re having a date, Adèle sees a gorgeous girl with blue hair. She becomes troubled about her sexual identity and can’t stop thinking about that beautiful woman she has just seen. So, Adèle is dissatisfied with her relationship with Thomas and breaks it off.

After some weeks, her best friend, the openly gay Valentin, takes her to a gay dance bar. There she sees the girl with the blue hair again and finds out that her name is Emma and that she is a graduating art student. Adèle is impressed by her great achievements and they begin a passionate relationship. Three years pass and the two girls are very happy together. Then, all of a sudden, Emma starts to spend a lot of time with Lise. Adèle is very jealous and sleeps out of loneliness with Antoine, a male colleague. The women start to argue with each other, Emma breaks up with Adèle and throws her out.
The two meet about three years later in a restaurant. Adèle's life has not moved on and she is still deeply in love with Emma, but Emma is now in a committed partnership with Lise and has a family.
What do you think will happen next? To find out, you should watch the film. You can find my trailer at the end of my review.

To sum up, I would definitely claim that the film is one of the best ones I've ever seen. I really like the vibe which the movie gives to me. It’s an artistic and French vibe, because the film was shot in France. What’s more, I really like the dialogues between Adèle and Emma because they are very memorable and nice, but if I am honest, the two women don’t speak that much with each other – their love language is eye contact. ;)

Divergent is American social science fiction action film directed by Neil Burger. It was published in 2014 and it is based on the2011 novel of the same name by Veronica Roth. The main characters are Beatrice “Tris” Prior (Shailene Woodley), Tobias “Four” Eaton (Theo James), Caleb Prior (Ansel Elgort) and Christina (Zoë Kravitz).

100 years after a destructive war, Chicago is surrounded by a massive wall. In order to keep the peace this time, the citizens have been divided into five factions according to their qualities. The factions are Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the kind), Erudite (the intelligent), Abnegation (the selfless), and Candor (the honest).

The main character Tris was very convincing and I could pretty much identify with her. In the movie she had to face a lot of difficult and challenging situations. She kept on fighting even in desperate situations to finally achieve her goals. This appeared very realistic to me since it highlights the fact that in order to succeed you have to overcome a lot of hardship. The future setting is believable and plausible, and the special effects are stunning from beginning to end. The film is very exciting and action-packed and still has a love story in it where Tris and Four find each other. It is well made and there are also some very significant quotes such as "Fear doesn't shut you down; it wakes you up." which Four said to Tris.

To sum up, Divergent is a fascinating film with a story that keeps you guessing and wondering long after you've finished watching it. It is an entertaining youth film with action, some romance and, despite the foreign world, strong emotional material to identify with.

„Five Feet Apart“ is an American romantic drama film directed by Justin Baldoni. The main actors are Haley Lu Richardson as Stella, Cole Sprouse as Will and Moisés Arias as Poe. Although I have seen this wonderful film several times now, it still leaves me teary-eyed. I have also read the book, which is just as fantastic and touching.

Most of the film takes place in a hospital. Stella is a 17-years old girl with a very severe disease of the lungs called cystic fibrosis (CF). To minimize the risk of potentially life-threatening infections Stella has to keep distance to other people. In an attempt to live a life as ‘normally’ as possible she uses social media a lot. One day she gets to know another CF patient in the hospital. Will has been admitted for a drug trial, a potential chance for him to get rid of a bacterial lung infection. Although Will should also stick to the strong distance rules, he does not always adhere to them. Despite many disputes between them, they fall in love – but should still keep the essential distance between each other. This conflict leads to many surprising, sad, touching but also funny situations with a lot of memorable dialogues. Although the film deals with a very rare disease, it is generally easy to follow. Its plot is also convincing and has no long-drawn-out scenes.

The film is definitely nothing for the faint- hearted. Many sad things happen. For example, one person dies. In addition, the two lovers can’t touch each other. I really like the main characters because they are so different. Stella is very friendly, satisfied and thankful for her complicated life. Also Poe, her best friend in hospital and a fellow CF patient, is a happy guy and both have a lot of fun together. In contrast, Will is very different. He likes to break rules and to take risks, e.g. leaving the hospital or acting against the recommendations of the doctors. These three main characters are greatly interpreted by the actors, giving the spectators the feeling as having CF themselves.

In conclusion, director Justin Baldoni has created a wonderful film with a great message. “Five Feet Apart” tells about a severe illness and the hard life with it. Although there are many sad scenes, I often had to laugh out loud because of funny Poe. There are many romantic scenes in the film and I can recommend this film to every romantic- lover. The spectators can also learn how important contacts with other persons are. Each time I saw the film I was so touched that I gave hugs to all the people around me. I even found myself agreeing with Stella: “Touches are important. Almost like the air to breathe. But I didn’t realize how important touches are, his touches, until I couldn’t have them…”

Titanic is a romantic, tragic film by director  James Cameron. The main characters are Kate Winslet as Rose DeWitt Bukater and Leonardo DiCaprio as Jack Dowson.

The plot is about Rose, who had to marry her Fiancé Caledon Hockley (Billy Zane), but she didn't want to. During the journey on the Titanic she meets Jack. She  falls in love with him, and he falls in love with her. Although she does not love Caledon, she has to keep this secret. Caledon and his bodyguard Spicer Lovejoy (David Warner) always try to manipulate Jack. Once they put the precious necklace, which was called the heart of the ocean, in his jacket and then he is arrested.

Suddenly the ship collides with an iceberg and many rooms are full of water. After the panic has broken out, Rose tries to free Jack. Luckily, she does it fast so they have enough time to run out of the ship and get a boat.
After she has said goodbye to Jack she goes into a boat. She thinks about Jack and jumps out of the boat. They decide to go off the ship together.

After around one hour they fall asleep in the ice-cold water. Suddenly Rose hears voices and tries to wake Jack up, but he doesn't react. At this point she realizes that he has passed away. Although she is in shock she calls the men in the boat to help her.
Luckily she survives the horror night.

The film is very interesting because it's based on a true story. Sometimes the dialogues are dull but the scenes are always entertaining and nice. I really like the ending because it shows us that not everything has a happy end but nevertheless you should make the best out of it.
In conclusion, I'd like to say that it is the best film I've ever seen and that you shouldn't miss the chance to watch it.

Avengers endgame is an action /science fiction film by Joss Whedon from marvel. It brings together different famous characters like Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Black Widow and many others whose are fighting against Thanos. In my opinion, this film is fascinating, but the duration is definitely too long.

The plot is the opposite of predictable. Thanos is a very strong enemy who tries to collect the six infinity stones. Every stone has got a strong power. If he is able to collect all the stones and to put all of them in his infinity gauntlet he only has to snap, and every creature will disintegrate into sand. This is his plan and the Avengers try to stop him.

The plot has got many surprises in soundtracks and also in the scenes. For example, in the final battle where the enemies army and the Heroes' army begin to fight against each other the soundtrack is memorable and spectacular. The whole film is full of surprises and extremely entertaining. There are also well-made stunts in the film. Not that often, there are dull dialogues in the film as well.

When I saw the film the first time, I was so happy about the happy ending, because in the last film they lost and Thanos disintegrated many creatures into sand. Luckily, he only extinguised half of the earth's residents. So they had a chance to fight again against him.

Overall, I have to say that this is the best film I´ve ever seen and that you shouldn´t miss the chance to watch it!

Breaking Bad is a crime thriller series by the directors Vince Gilligan and Rian Johnson. The main characters are Bryan Cranston as Walter White and Aaron Paul as Jesse Pinkman.

The plot is about Walter White, who received a cancer diagnosis. His low salary is not enough for the security of his familiy after his death. So, he has a crazy idea when he accompanies his brother-in-law, Hank (Terry McDonough), a DEA agent, on a drug mission. In his desperation, he makes the momentous decision to use his knowledge as a chemistry expert to produce Methamphetamine, also known as crystal meth, of particularly good quality. He comes across a previous student, Jesse Pinkman who is involved in criminal machinations and he wants him to sell the drugs to earn as much money as possible to set it aside for his family. So Walter and Jesse start making crystal meth in an old car in the desert of New Mexico.

The script is extremely impressive. It really makes clear to you that you never want to be in a situation like this and that you don’t want to have anything to do with drugs because it ruins families. I think that the dialogues are the most exciting part and the characters are sometimes really humorous but also very serious. Many scenes are so spectacular, especially the ending fascinated me. It wasn't predictable at all.

To conclude, Breaking Bad taught me so many things and it's absolutely the best series I've ever watched so go and watch it!
