The fault of the stars

2021-03-18 10:16:17 UTC

A book I really liked is "the fault of the stars"." This book is about two guys with a disease who fall in love with each other. It's a very deep book, it makes you realize that time passes quickly and you have to do what you feel without having regrets. Reading this book I realized that I was lucky, these two teenagers are sick but despite this they do not complain; you have to appreciate what you have in life and not always complain. With this book I also understood what true love is.

Forrest Gump

2021-03-25 10:19:00 UTC

this film is inspired by the homonym book written by Wiston Groom in 1986. The story takes place in a lot of places in USA and in some others statehow China or Vietnam. This Film speeks about a good part of the Forrest Gump (the protagonist) life. He was a guy whit a very little IQ but despite that he was able to do a lot of incredible things and become a very popular person. For esemple he became the olimpic champions of ping pong, he fought the Vietnam war, he ran all over the USA ,become a milonaire fisherman and in the end he had a son.

While the film tell the story of Gump, we can see the story of USA and of world in in that years.
I advise everyone to see this film because despite it speeks about some important topic, it is very funny and light.

2021-03-25 10:21:50 UTC

The book is written by Kazuo Ishiguro. This book has been made into a film and the director is Mark Romanek. The main characters are Carey Mulligan, Andrew Garfield and Keira Knightley. This fil is dramatic and also sci-fi. the education of Kathy, Tommy and Ruth is entrusted to teachers, who give them lessons in art, history and literature and encourage their creativity: their best works are in fact selected by a mysterious "Madame" to be kept in her " tunnel". The three boys obviously all grow up together and develop a bond that will last a lifetime: Ruth and Kathy make a strong friendship, while Tommy, while having great sympathy for Kathy, becomes engaged to Ruth. unfortunately, however, it turns out that the boys are clones created to donate organs to sick people. the three boys think they can escape this cruel fate of theirs. there will be various quarrels between the boys. until they find one of them three in serious condition until his death. in my opinion this film despite being science fiction manages to make everything very realistic to the viewer. you can identify yourself very easily. with this film the ugly subject of the disease is also underlined.

The film, directed by Gary Shore, tells the story of a young prince, Vlad Tepes, who while his kingdom is threatened by the Turks, must become a monster feared by his own people to gain the power necessary to protect his family and families of his kingdom.
