Gladiator. I liked these movies the most because all interested me. The one like I liked the most out of all of these was Unbroken, because it was over a true story. Then my next favorite movie would have had to be The Patriot because it showed us about the war in that time period. It I had to choose three of the movies that I have learned from this semester I would say that my three movies is Unbroken, Apollo 13, and Selma. Unbroken talked about what had happened to him when his plane crashed and he was took by the Japanese and sent to a POW camp tell he was rescued he was also an olympian. Apollo 13 was about a trip to the moon but something bad happened. Selma was…

In the exposition, 11-year-old Francie Nolan is introduced as the protagonist, of the coming of age novel.

Everyone has a purpose in life, which is just like a story with a theme. The theme of the story is that even in the ugliest situations you can find beauty if you’re willing to look for it.

Gratefulness should be expressed in every situation despite what it is and by the little girl tearing up the marigolds it took the beauty from ms. lottie’s heart.…
My favorite movie was “The Vow” by Michael Sucsy, with the main characters being Channing Tatum as Leo and Rachel McAdams as Paige.

My latest film experience was Shrek 2. Shrek 2 is a new release animation film. This is a great flick using the new state of the art animation. Shrek is not just a kid's movie, but adults also find it funny. The movie is about an ogre named Shrek, who lives in a swamp. Shrek spent his whole life living in sham, because he was an ogre, and all the other creatures, and people felt threatened by him. Shrek meets a donkey played by Eddy Murphy, and they become friends. Later in the movie Shrek meets a beautiful princess named Fionia. Shrek, and Fionia fall in love, and go to ask for her father the king for his blessing in marriage. Instead they run into several problems the king does not approve of the marriage, and tries every thing in his power to separate them. The king opposed their marriage, because a princess can not marry an ogre, and live happily ever after... Shrek and Fionia are ugly green ogres who are constantly mistreated for their looks and race, but over come all the stereo types. Shrek teaches people not to judge other people by…
I think this movie reminds me of how there is a lot of judgment in our society and that people aren’t even the given a chance prove themselves. In the movie, an ogre named Shrek goes on an adventure to free his swamp of all the creatures banished there. Along the way he is made fun of, feared, and hunted just because of what he is. During the movie, you learn of his true nature and that he is completely different from what others expect him to be. This movie reminds me of the golden rule we are taught in school to be better people. Treat…
My number one favorite films of all time is Jurassic Park. Stephen Spielberg created a realistic fantasy of a world in which dinosaurs one ruled the Earth.

The film “Sassy Pants” was also enjoyable because of its charm. There may have been some awkward scenes, but that was drowned out by charming or adorable, scenes. There aren’t really specific scenes that it occurs that are major, but it is sort of spread out throughout the whole movie. Even the tragic or sad scenes were well layed out and I just enjoyed the effect they had…
