The film was made from a book, writen by Ariano Suassuna.

It’s a comedy movie.

I have choosen this movie because it talks about many things, such as the hard life in the northwest brazil back in 1930’s, says also about love and religion, but always in a funny way.

The main characters are joão grilo and chicó. Those are poor man living in the countryside one hundred years back then.

They would often scam people in some smart an funny way to gey some money to eat.

The actors were very talented, they would need to speak with an northwest accent all the time, just to represent were are they

The sound track and all the scenery is very imersive and it makes tou feel inside the film.

The film is also very long, but there is always something happening. The movie is very funny in general, that is why i recommend it to everyone

The Lion King shows how important it is for children to grow and separate from their family at one moment of their lives, while explaining that family is essential and will always be there for you. Simba is the main character, the one who evolves throughout the movie. We can also see Nala’s growth, his best friend and companion throughout all his life. Simba’s parents are shown all the time as his life models, the ones he recurs to anytime he needs it. Moreover, Timon and Pumba are two of Simba’s best friends that are essential to him because they present a new vision of life, something he wasn’t used to. Scar is his uncle and also villain of the movie, who tries to destroy him.

It is an animated movie, but recently the live action of it has been released and it is really good too. The director could create an incredible pacing, people usually don’t want to miss a thing of the movie. Everything is so accurate; the sensitive, happy, sad and full of tension soundtrack on each scene, as well as the visuals; even the characters seem to be perfectly designed to show each one it’s own message.

I really enjoy the different emotion this movie makes me feel. I may start crying because of sadness and then finish crying because of happiness. I definitely recommend watching this movie, specially with your family. The sensation of love and peace it provoques is unique.

Director: Chris Columbus

Release year: 1990

Genre: Comedy, adventure.

I chose this film because it's funny and interesting. I like very much the story.

The film is about Kevin- an eight years old boy. His big family is about to go on a vacation to Paris , France, for Christmas. After the family boarded the plane they noticed that they forgot Kevin at home.

Kevin is left home alone and has to deal with two burglars and other troubles.

The main character is Kevin (Macaulay Culkin).

What I enjoyed most about the film: The funny and interesting story, the suspenseful plot and the excellent acting of the cast.

This is my favorite movie, because the acting and performances of the two main characters, Bruce Willis and Haley Joel Osment (Cole Sear) are really impressive and actually makes the audience shock and empathize when the story twists at the end and when they performed an emotional scene, respectively. But, besides their acting, the soundtrack, camera and visuals always created a tense and anxious atmosphere of what will happen next, enhancing the expectation of the audience.

That is why I would fully recommend this movie to anyone interested in seen something different from what is usual and this is why it is one of my favorites movies. It accomplished all the expectations that I had before watching it or even having an idea of what was about.

The main actors are Julia Stiles (Kat), Heath Ledger (Patrick), Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Cameron), and Larisa Oleynik (Bianca). Their performances are great, especially Heath Ledger, who is very charming and funny. The chemistry between the actors feels real and makes the story more interesting. The music and the camera work also help give the film a fun, cool feeling that matches the teenage atmosphere. My favorite part was the scene where Patrick sings to Kat on the school field which I think it’s romantic and silly at the same time. I didn’t find anything I didn’t like in the movie. It made me feel happy, entertained, and also a little emotional, i ended up wanting someone to feel the same way about me like Patrick. It’s a great film about love, being yourself, about plot twistsand not judging others too quickly.

Title and Introduction

Lady and the Tramp

Director: Clyde Geronimi, Wilfred Jackson, and Hamilton Luske

Release year: 1955

Genre: Animated romantic family film

Why did you choose this film?
I chose this film because it’s one of my favourites movies from childhood, and I still enjoy it today. It has a sweet story, lovable characters, and it is a classic Disney film that will never be out of style.

Plot Summary

The film follows a wealthy dog called Lady who lives in a cozy home with her rich loving owners. Her world changes when a stray named Tramp enters her life. The story shows their unexpected friendship that ends in a romance. Together, they face challenges like the dog pound or people that don’t understand them. It is a love story very interesting since it shows a romance between two dogs that comes from different worlds and also leaves a lot of learnings important for children.

Direction, Cinematography & Music

The animation is classic and detailed.

Talking about the atmosphere, it is amazing that in scenes where lady appears on her wealthy neighborhood with rich owners and their dogs, the atmosphere is colorful, the houses are huge, people is happy and dogs also are. On the other hand the atmosphere when Tramp appears is very poor and dark, showing the humble part of the city, with dirty and rude people, also a hard life for stray dogs.

The music “Bella Notte” sound during the spaghetti dinner scene is iconic and totally sets the mood. It made the whole scene magical.

My opinion

I really enjoyed the chemistry between Lady and Tramp and how their different worlds came together.

My favorite scene is which I mentioned before where Lady and Tramp are eating spaghetti in a lovely place.

The film made me feel happy, emotional, and kind of nostalgic. It is a mix of feelings in my mind during I watch it.

I recommend it to anyone who loves classic animation, cute dogs, and heartwarming stories. It’s sweet, emotional, and has just the right mix of fun and romance. Also it is educational for children to make them understand that people from a low economic class are not bad and that money is not everything.

The film is about a girl named Katniss, who gets chosen to participate in The Hunger Games, an annual event where 24 children (2 pero each district of the country) fight to death.

The movie is set in a futuristic timeline in a dystopian world.

The main actors are Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson. In my opinion, their performances were brilliant and highly realistic.

I think that this story is a masterpiece because it makes you think about in what direction is our society going.

What i most enjoyed about this film is that it is a good adaptation of the book it is based on, which doesn't happen really often.

I would recommend it to anyone, because I think that absolutely everyone should watch it.
