OUR FAVOURITE FILMS OR TV SERIES by M. Àngels https://padlet.com/aroig222/cinemavideos5 What film or TV series would you recommend? Why? en-us 2017-11-28 10:31:57 UTC 2023-03-29 11:44:18 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f3ac.png Artificial Intelligence (2001) By Noemi De La Rosa. https://padlet.com/aroig222/cinemavideos5/wish/1344002697 Artificial Intelligence is a science fiction film created and directed by Steven Spielberg. It is based in the book ``Supertoys last all summer long´´ by the writer Brian W. Aldiss. It stars Haley Joel Osmen as David, Jude Law as Gigolo Joe, Jack Angel as Teddy and Francesc O`Connor as Monica Swinton.
The film is set in the middle of the 21st century and was filmed in the USA.
The story tells us how the global warming  is causing the world  to flood and how the earth resources  have been reduced and for that it is so difficult to get a permit to have a child, and this is why they create a David who is a robot child who can imitate the human feelings and replace the real child. David ends up living with Monica Swinton and her family, but the feelings of David are so real that he  begins to wish he was a human, and he starts a journey with Teddy who is a robot teddy to find a Blue fairy to ask her to turn him into a human. In the journey they know Gigolo Joe who helps them  find the truth and reach their final destination. 
I love this movie because I think it is one of the most emotional films, because you can feel the desire of David to make her dream came true and become in a human. The special effects are good, and the soundtrack is one of my favourite things in the movie. 
So I hope you see the film and enjoy it like me.

The main character, played by Rowan Atkinson, is a clumsy and friendly jester.
The first episode won the “Rose d’or” as well as two other major awards at the Rose d’or Festival in Montreux,  Switzerland.
Rowan Atkinson was nominated three times for “Bet Entertainment Performance” in 1991,1992 and 1994.

Mr. Been lives alone in his small flat in Highbury north London. He almost always wore his branded “tweed” jacket and a thin red tie.
Mr. Been doesn’t speak, and when he does, he usually says just a few words between his teeth and in a low voice and in a comic tone. His profession is never mentioned.

The plot of all the chapters is “a child trapped in the body of an adult”, with a very elegant cynicism and humour, definitely English, as well as very nice, funny and even naive and evil at times. 
I recommend the series, because it’s very funny, and you’ll always end up laughing.

The film is based on a true story and inspired on the  life of Ruth Bader Ginsburg (Felicity Jones) and her husband Martin (Armie Hammer).
While Ruth and Martin are studying at Harvard Law School, he is diagnosed with a cancer and Ruth takes over the lectures at university for him, moreover she takes over her lectures , too.
After graduating, he is able to get a job as a lawyer in an important firm, while she suffers the sexism of law firms, and she can't find a job as lawyer. 
One day, Martin tells Ruth about a tax law case called Moritz. Basically, this case is about a man who can’t get a tax deduction for nursing care of his convalescent mother because he is a man and the job of  a nurse is  reserved  to women.
Ruth Ginsburg sees the  chance that in this case there is  a gender discrimination on men. 
The intelligent Ruth has studied the American Constitution and knows that the Constitution does not mention  gender equality.
She has the support of Martin, and  they  decide that Martin will take  the bulk of the case and Ruth  will argument about equal protection of rights.
Finally, she and her husband win the case what  will add jurisprudence into American Laws.
I strongly recommend it because the life of Ruth Bader Ginsburg is a story of effort and overcoming to work as lawyer in a  sexist society.
She later became the second woman to serve on the Supreme Court.

It was created in 2018, and it was added on Netflix  in 2020. In this series the cast wasn’t very famous because it was a small production. However, very important in Denmark. There are two main stars, Alba August as Simone Andersen and Lucas Lynggaard Tønnesen as her brother Rasmus Andersen.
The series is set in Scandinavia, and it was filmed in Scandinavia too. The first topic of the series starts inside a bunker underground. Then the pair of brothers leave the bunker and the adventures begin.
The series is about a terrible virus that kills everyone who touches the rainwater created by a scientific doctor, but the doctor  has a medicine.  The series is divided into three seasons. 
I strongly recommend this series because it is a  thriller, and has a good plot. I think  you will like it, and you can see this series  on Netflix in V.O., translated (dubbed) or with subtitles. ]]> 2021-04-01 22:08:57 UTC https://padlet.com/aroig222/cinemavideos5/wish/1376886949 TU A LONDRES Y YO EN CALIFORNIA (THE PARENT TRAP) Carla Pino https://padlet.com/aroig222/cinemavideos5/wish/1382752200 This film is a comedy, drama and children's film. It was directed by Nancy Meyers in 1998, who based her film on "Lottie and Lisa".
The main characters  are Lindsay Lohan, Natasha Richardson, Dennis Quaid, Elaine Hendrix.

The film is set in the UK.

This film is about two girls who met in a camp and realized they were twins and decided to change roles. They talked about their character with the family they were in and acted it out.
At first the parents didn’t realize it but started noticing it later. The girls did their best to keep in touch and be able to get their parents together, so they could see that they were twins.

It's amazing how with some effects we can believe that twins are two when in reality there is only one person. That is, the protagonist must play her role and also that of her twin.

I recommend this movie as it is very famous and entertaining.
I’ve been  watching it for a long time and I don’t get tired of doing it.
I LOVE IT!!!!!

The Pianist is a biographical war drama film produced and directed by Roman Polanski in 2002. This film won three Oscars: the best director (R. Polanski), the best adapted screenplay (R. Harwood), the best actor (A. Brody) and many others awards around the world.
The movie is set in the Holocaust during  the Second World War. It was filmed completely in a German Cinema Studio.
The film is based on the true story of the Polish-Jewish pianist and composer Wladyslaw Szpilman. One of the few survivors of the Holocaust.
The story begins in 1939 when the German army invades Poland. Szpilman avoids being deported   with the help of some friends. To survive he will need to live hidden and isolated for a long time.
This movie along with “The Schindler’s list” and “La vita è bella” are probably the best films about the Holocaust. Despite the horror of the events in the three films there is hope at the end.
If you like History and classical music I strongly recommend that you watch it and listen to it.
