Hi everyone,
Today is a special session because you were in charge of choosing a topic to write about. It was a tie voting . Half agreed on "movies or films", and the half on series so this is a great chance to think about your "favourite movie or series" , "the best movie/series you´ve ever seen".
First , I would like to say that I am not a big fan of movies, but it does not mean that I have not visited cinemas. I have enjoyed a lot seeing interesting and funny films, especially with my children, during different times in my life and theirs, when they were kids and now that they are grown-ups. We enjoy staying together and having fun watching good and great films. They all love films.
Films are like a piece of fantasy mixed with real life, there are a lot of different types of films, action, science fiction, drama, comedy, horror, documentaries, cartoons, etc but I prefer comedies, history or films based on real facts. I have seen many amazing movies but just two of them are my favourites: "Cinema Paradiso" (Italian)and "Les Chorists" (French). The first one is an Oscar winner. It is simply an enigmatic film which will stay in your memory for a long time...It is about a filmmaker who recalls his childhood, when he fell in love with the movies at his village' s theater and formed a deep friendship with the theater's projectionist. The second one is about a failed music teacher (Mr. Mathieu) who comes to a strict boy`s boarding school where a tough headmaster rules over a deprived youth with a motto of "Action- Reaction". Mr Mathieu tries a different approach, introducing music into their lives, forming a boys' choir that allows him to discover the secret musical talent of a quiet but troubled young boy.
These films are so charming, funny, touching, poignant and thought- provoking but mainly real and human.
They are those kind of films that you will always remember.
Now it is your turn.
-What do you think about cinema?
-Have you seen any remarkable film that you still remember?
-What was it about? (plot)

I don't know any of the movies that you mentioned, but they sound great
ReplyDeleteif i´m going to see a movie I prefer that this be one of accion or drama.
ReplyDeleteI watched Les Chorists and it's a beautiful movie, I watched when I was on the chorus of my school
ReplyDeleteIs so amazing that you watch movies in another language like italian or french, is so romantic.
ReplyDeleteI also watched "Les Choristes" and is a very beautiful and emotive movie with a very good soundtrack, I remember I cried at the end :(
ReplyDeleteIt's true that movies mix a piece of reality with fantasy, I share your opinion.
