Composition of a film- TITANIC

The film that I have watched is Titanic, a film about the love story of Jack Dawson and Rose Dewitt Bukater.

The film begins when the treasure hunter Brock Lovett and his team were searching for the heart of ocean, a valuable necklace inside the sunken ship, but they found instead, a drawing. In the drawing they could see a nude woman that was supposed to be Rose Dawson. She phoned them and she came, then she told her story of when she was in the Titanic.

Titanic was called ship of dreams. She told that one day Jack get a ticket for the titanic playing poker. In the ship Jack met her and he saved her life when she was about to commit suicide but they couldn’t be together because she was rich and Jack was poor. They both fell in love and one night when they were together, Jack drew Rose posing with the famous necklace, later the ship crashed with an iceberg. Jack is falsely accused of stealing the necklace.

Although Rose could be saved with a boat, she prefered to stay with Jack until the end. Gradually the Titanic was sinking, after 2 hours 40 minutes, the Titanic was broke up and sank in the ocean. While Rose was floating on a piece of wood, due to the low sea temperature, Jack into the water died and Rose was saved later.

I really like very much this film, because it is based in a real story and a real ship. I also like very much his music is very good and his Director James Cameron is a genious.

CITY OF BONES

City of Bones is the first film of the saga The Mortal Instruments wrote by Cassandra Clare.

Main characters of City of Bones are Clary and Jace:

Clary is a human girl that when she was a child, her mother erased her memory to hide her real past. Jace is a lonely shadow hunter accepted in the Institute (the place where the shadows hunters use to go).

The story begins when Clary and Simon decide to go to a disco called Pandemonium. There, Clary met Jace, a strong, handsome shadow hunter.

The most suspicious thing is that people from this joint cannot see Jay, but Clary can.

The next day Clary's mother is abducted by an evil shadow hunter; Valentine.

Clary and Jace, with Simon and the rest of shadow hunters, search her mother, an act that will help Clary to remember old very precious memories with a strong story behind.

Between both protagonists will appear a love story that they won’t be able to control. It will create an impossible love, a forbidden love.

City of Bones is my favourite movie, I love it because I think it’s fantastic and people who loves to watch fantasy films will enjoy this saga.

Something that I don’t agree with is that the story of the book and the movie are so much different and I prefer the book because it’s more complete.

V for Vendetta

V for Vendetta is a 2005 American-German Political action thriller film directed by James

McTeigue and written by the Wachowski Brothers, based on the 1982 graphic novel of the

same name by Alan Moore. The movie show us a future United Kingdom society governed

by a brutal fascist regime. The central actor is V an anarchist fighter that starts a revolution

with terrorist attacks to the regime.  The film has used to show us the oppression of the

government and they corruption.

For me this movie is very interesting because it shows us how we can finish if we let to the

government do whatever they want with us. I think that everybody has to see this movie and

think about it.

The Wolf of Wall Street is a comedy film  directed by Martin Scorsese in 2013. 

This film talks about the life of Jordan Belfort's( interpreted by Leonardo DiCaprio), a poor worcker that worked on Wall Street. He decide to open his own company of brokers with his neighbor and friend Donni Azoff.

Jordan and his brokers will win soo much money, they will spend all the money in whores, cars, partys, yachts and cocaine. Jordan will be pursued for the FBI until he catch him.

I like this film because it's very funny and explain how the money can chane the people, but the bad thing is that it go on three hours. But i recommend it!

The change-up

THE CHANGE-UP

“The change-up” is an American comedy film produced in 2011. Mitch (Ryan Reynolds) and Dave (Jason Bateman) have been best friends since they left the school. They have grown up together, but now their lives are very different from each other.

Mitch is a freewheeling single man who doesn’t have any obligations. He works as an actor once a week, so he has a lot of freetime which he usually spends meeting beautiful women. Whereas, Dave is a respectable lawyer, he is married with Jamie  (Leslie Mann) and they have three kids. He spends all the day at work and when he finally arrives at home, he has to take care of the children.

One night, after getting drunk, Mitch and Dave talk about their lifestyles, and both wish that they had each other’s life while they are in front of a magic fountain. Surprisingly the desire becomes real: next morning they wake up in their friend’s body. The guys return where the fountain was to try to recuperate their original lives. However, the fountain has been removed, so they are forced to take their partner’s life. Dave and Mitch early discover that his friend’s life isn’t as fantastic as they had thought. Mitch doesn’t know anything about laws, so Dave’s boss is disappointed with him. He has to go to his daughter’s ballet play and  he also has to wake up at midnight when the babies cry. On the other hand, Dave discovers that Mitch takes part in a porno film. Finally, the guys find the fountain again and they wish that they came back to their own lives. This way Mitch and Dave learn to not complain about their lives.

In my opinion this film is quite amusing, although the plot is a bit superficial and for that reason the film is easy to understand. The characters are funny, despite some exaggerations. But.. What could you expect? It is a comedy! They say some silly things that make you laugh, that’s all. However, this is the objective! I have enjoyed the film and I believe that it would be a great idea to watch it with friends to have a good time together.

12 years a slave

12 YEARS A SLAVE 

Directed by Steve McQueen, 2013

All began in 1841, in Saratoga Springs, New York, where a black family lived free and without problem. She cooked for other people and he (Salomon Northup) worked in the world of spectacle playing the violin; he was also a carpenter.

One day, two people propose to Salomon to work in a circus playing the violin, but it all ends really badly and they sell him. Salomon Northup passed from being a free man to becoming a slave.

He is bought by Ford, a man proprietary of a plantation, where there Platt (the name that Northup has as a slave) have a lot of conflicts with Tibeats (the captain of the plantation) and so he ends up given to Edwin Epps, a proprietary of a plantation of cotton. In this place, he meets Patsey, a young girl that picks up the more cotton everyday but never receives nothing in change.

In the other hand, Platt meets a Canadian man that things that all the people must be free and the black people must be the same rights that the white people. Platt requests him then to send a letter to his family so that they can send the documents that say that he is free.

Finally, he comes back at home, and knows the husband of his daughter and his grandson.

I think that it’s a realistic dramatic film because it reflects all the bad things that the black people had to live. And how a free man with a good life, passed to be a slave without rights to serve a white man, having to work without rest for this person.

Of course, this film has a good actors that reflects very good the situation that the black people had to live. It has a detailed photography that transmits to the viewer the abuse (physically and pshicology) the black people suffer, as well as the conditions that they have to bear compared to the proprietaries.
