I also like the unique cinematography and cinematic techniques. It is very much unlike a typical movie. The story unfolds in a very imaginative way. It is exquisitely made with gusto for the arts and visual narrative.]]> 2016-06-21 03:34:35 UTC https://padlet.com/virtualinstruction/105DBA/wish/115113716 https://padlet.com/virtualinstruction/105DBA/wish/115186048 One of my favorite movies is the Hunger Games series . The Hunger Games books were the first books I've read and frankly enjoyed. Reading those booked drawled me into having to see the movies. I really got into them and started to analyze. This movie is romantic adventurous and suspenseful .

I learned many things from seeing those movies. Such as life is a crazy as you make it out to be . And sometimes there large obstacles in your path that will take you a while to get around. this movie did not only in lighting me but taught me lessons about life. This movie was also meaningful to me because i read the books and wanted to be able to compare them. It was also something i actually accomplished without someone telling me to haha.  ]]> 2016-06-21 21:14:25 UTC https://padlet.com/virtualinstruction/105DBA/wish/115186048 https://padlet.com/virtualinstruction/105DBA/wish/115277409 One of my  favorite  movies is The Dark Knight. Its a movie that achieves perfection in every way. The script is top notch, it is full of action, and the acting is superb all around.Heath Ledger gives the second greatest performance ever, and really makes you fear the Joker. The special effects are brilliant, and the story is thrilling and sends a powerful message.

 The Dark Knight is not just a superhero movie. It is the first comic book adaptation to transcend the genre. Imagine one of the greatest crime thrillers of all time which just happens to have a guy who dresses in a bat costume and fights crime. Think Godfather 2 or Heat, with a insane terrorist who paints his face like a clown and goes around killing random people. It’s expansive in feel and tone. It’s the type of film which you make a point to refer to as a “film” instead of a “movie”.]]> 2016-06-22 23:36:29 UTC https://padlet.com/virtualinstruction/105DBA/wish/115277409 https://padlet.com/virtualinstruction/105DBA/wish/115332952 One of my favorite movies is X-men apocalypse. This movie is one of may x-men movie I love this movie because it has you on your feet at every moment.

I learned from this movie that no matter how close someone cloud be they can always turn on you. This movie is full of other superheroes that work together to beat one guy. This movie is meaningful to me because it shows how someone so weak can become so strong and not just physically but mentally ]]> 2016-06-23 15:49:18 UTC https://padlet.com/virtualinstruction/105DBA/wish/115332952 https://padlet.com/virtualinstruction/105DBA/wish/115459456     One of my favorite movies is "Finding Nemo". It teaches you so much about not giving up and being different is okay. This is a Disney Pixar film and came out in May 30, 2003.

The reason this film teaches you to never give up is because when dory sings "just keep swimming" she's intentionally saying not to give up to Nemo's dad. And it also teaches you that being different is okay because with Nemo's "lucky fin" which is just smaller than usual and Nemo is still loved even though he has the smaller fin which is different.]]> 2016-06-26 19:53:57 UTC https://padlet.com/virtualinstruction/105DBA/wish/115459456 https://padlet.com/virtualinstruction/105DBA/wish/115523835 One of my favorite books is Heaven is for Real.This is my favorite book of all time.I was given the book to read one summer.At first i wasn't interested  in reading the book.Out of nowhere I i started reading. I got hooked instantly .

I learned  from this book is that people don't get a second chance often .I also learned if u have a gift that you should use it to the greater good .The book means alot to me because no matter how much adversity I know I can battle through it.]]> 2016-06-27 16:51:22 UTC https://padlet.com/virtualinstruction/105DBA/wish/115523835 https://padlet.com/virtualinstruction/105DBA/wish/115688236 One of my favorite movies is The Dark Knight Rises. This movies is honestly one of the best movie in the Dark Knight trilogy. its was action packed movies that always had me wanting more throughout every scene. 

I learned from this movies that there are always going to be someone rooting for you to fail and not succeed but you have to push through it and never give up on what your trying to accomplish. Also when you accomplish your goal in the end you know your hard effort was worth it.]]> 2016-06-29 17:23:13 UTC https://padlet.com/virtualinstruction/105DBA/wish/115688236 https://padlet.com/virtualinstruction/105DBA/wish/115690447 One of my favorite movies is " Inside out". This is one of my favorite Pixar movies. It is a movie that gave you a inside look at what might be happening in people heads. It even taught little kids about emotions.

Through this movie I learned that sometimes we need to express our emotions, we cant hide them. It is not like any other that I have seen before. It is a very colorful and emotional movie that would make everybody weep.]]> 2016-06-29 17:56:12 UTC https://padlet.com/virtualinstruction/105DBA/wish/115690447 https://padlet.com/virtualinstruction/105DBA/wish/116070407 One of my favorite movies would "To Kill a Mockingbird" it's a novel and a movie but I watched the movie I haven't read the book yet. This movie was made in 1962 this movie is about a little boys father defending a black man. This movie is based off the old times, when black didn't have as much rights as they do now so defending a black man wasn't good. 

The reason why this film is meaningful is because just because a black man is in blame doesn't mean he had done what they said. Just because he's black doesn't mean that he's untrustworthy. The person defending him was actually a good lawyer so at the end he had won the case. But another thing happened the man had died at the end. I learned that not to blame others even until your 100% sure.]]> 2016-07-07 15:00:08 UTC https://padlet.com/virtualinstruction/105DBA/wish/116070407 https://padlet.com/virtualinstruction/105DBA/wish/116144491 Gabriel Bernal
One of my favorite movies is “Creed”. It teaches about never to giving up, when there are rough times to always fight thru it and that you are your biggest opponent. This movie was directed by Ryan Coogler. The movie was made on November 25th 2015. This movie starts with Creed being in his city and how it shows his wealth and how he loved boxing he knew he was a good fighter but he knew he wasn’t good enough to be a champion. So he went to Rocky for some help and he accomplished to become a champion. 

I learned from this movie that you are your biggest opponent because everything is in your mind you could do anything you want, the sky is the limit. Practice makes a big difference in anyone's life. Also I love how they brought Rocky into this movie with another main character, Rocky plays an example as a father to Creed or a person who guides him through this time that he needs help.]]> 2016-07-09 17:24:50 UTC https://padlet.com/virtualinstruction/105DBA/wish/116144491 https://padlet.com/virtualinstruction/105DBA/wish/116821897  One of my favorite movies is the Last song.
It is a novel and a movie, but I didn't get to read the book, because I'm not really a book person. This movie came out on march 31, 2010. This movie is about a teenage girl name Ronnie, estranged from her father for a number of years, Ronnie isn"t please when her mother decided to send her, and her younger brother to spend the summer with her Dad.While her father tries to reconnect with her through their love of music. Although Ronnie didn't look so great, but she does have a good heart, and can care for others, as you can see in the scene where she tries to save little sea turtle eggs. Most importantly the lesson I learned from this movie is that, people will look, and judge automatically without even knowing your personality.]]> 2016-07-22 15:46:39 UTC https://padlet.com/virtualinstruction/105DBA/wish/116821897 https://padlet.com/virtualinstruction/105DBA/wish/117003137      One of my favorite movies is "The Lion King". This movie is about a young lion named Simba, his father Mufasa and his wicked uncle Scar. This movie is about the life of Simba and how he overcomes his fear of returning back to his home after his father Mufasa was killed by Scar.
     Mufasa was killed because Scar had a plan to kill both Mufasa and Simba by luring them to a stampede of wildbeasts. Simba escaped from the stampede but Scar's plan worked to kill Mufasa. What i like about this movie is that it shows that even your family members can try to do something bad to you and your family to try to get in control.

It teaches about multiple themes that are evident through out the novel. Some of the many themes were courage, brotherhood and integrity. For the two main character were inseparable but due to certain circumstances one betrayed the other and that betrayal haunted him to adulthood, until he returned home and made it right for his friend and most importantly for his conscious. 

What makes this book so meaningful is the story behind it all. As well as the message that it conveys to the reader. For it shows that life's circumstances can sometimes drive us to make mistakes we just have to be courageous and take the second chance to fix it. ]]> 2016-08-04 03:33:49 UTC https://padlet.com/virtualinstruction/105DBA/wish/117515122 https://padlet.com/virtualinstruction/105DBA/wish/117562821
