THE BEST FILM EVER

THE LORD OF THE RINGS IS A VERY SUCCESSFUL TRILOGY, WHICH HAS WON EIGHTEEN ACADEMY AWARDS, INCLUDING BEST MOTION PICTURE OF THE YEAR AND BEST DIRECTOR PETER JACKSON, IN 2003, WITH "THE RETURN OF THE KING". JACKSON HAD BEEN DREAMING ABOUT MAKING THESE FILMS SINCE HE WAS 18 YEARS OLD. HE FINALLY STARTED TO FULFILL THIS DREAM IN 1995, WHICH WAS THE YEAR WHEN THE PROJECT BEGAN. THE THREE MOVIES WERE SIMULTANEOUSLY SHOT, BUT THEIR PREMIERE WAS IN 2001, 2002 AND 2003.
PEOPLE DON'T NEED TO HAVE READ THE BOOKS TO APPRECIATE THIS FANTASTIC MOVIE. FOR ME, IT IS THE BEST FILM EVER, BECAUSE IT SHOWS A JOURNEY OF TRUST, LOYALTY, HOPE, FAITH, KINDNESS, AND ABOVE ALL THOSE THINGS, LOVE. IT TOOK J.R.R. TOLKIEN SIXTEEN YEARS TO WRITE THIS MAGIC STORY. WE CAN SAY THAT HE CREATED A WHOLE NEW WORLD, WITHOUT MENTIONING THAT HE ALSO INVENTED A FEW NEW LANGUAGES, LIKE THE ELVISH ONES, NAMED SINDARIN AND QUENYA.
THE 3 MOVIES HAVE VERY GOOD SPECIAL EFFECTS. THEY ARE CHARACTERIZED BY HUGE ACTION SCENES, PUNCTUATED BY MOMENTS OF REST AND REFLECTION. IT DOESN'T HAVE A CAST OF GREAT ACTORS, BUT THE LORD OF THE RINGS IS CERTAINLY A TRILOGY THAT HAS MARKED THE MOTION PICTURE HISTORY.

MY FAVOURITE MOVIE EVER

PARIS, 1899. A YOUNG ENGLISH POET ARRIVES, READY TO LIVE THE BOHEMIAN LIFE, WITH FREEDOM, BEAUTY, TRUTH AND, ABOVE ALL THINGS, LOVE. THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF THE BEST MOVIE I'VE EVER WATCHED, MOULIN ROUGE.
THE FIRST TIME I WATCHED IT I WAS TEN YEARS OLD, AND I BECAME ADDICTED. I BOUGHT THE CD WITH THE SOUNDTRACK AND LEARNED EVERY SINGLE SONG IN IT. I BOUGHT THE DVD, AND WATCHEDIT AT LEAST ONCE A DAY, FOR MORE THAN A MONTH. I THINK I'VE WATCHED THE MOVIE OVER 50 TIMES.
WHAT'S IN THIS MOVIE THAT MAKES ME LOVE IT SO MUCH? A LOT OF THINGS.
THE SOUNDTRACK IS AMAZING, WITH A LOT OF FAMOUS SONGS IN SURPRISING VERSIONS, LIKE LIKE A VIRGIN (MADONNA) OR YOUR SONG (ELTON JOHN). THE ACTORS ARE REALLY GOOD. THE CAST INCLUDES EWAN MCG REGO R, NICOLE KIDMAN, JOHN LEGULZAMO ... COSTUMES, SCENERIES, MAKE-UP, EVERYTHING IS INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL. IT ALSO COMBINES DRAMA, COMEDY AND ROMANCE IN SUCH WAY THAT YOU CAN'T GET TIRED OF THE MOVIE.

BUT WHAT I THINK IS THE MOST IMPORTANT CHARACTERISTIC OF MOULIN ROUGE IS ITS PLOT. IT'S NOT ORIGINAL; ACTUALLY IT'S A VERSION OF THE BOOK THE LADY OF THE CAMELIAS., THE ENGLISH POET CHRISTIAN (MCGREGOR) FALLS IN LOVE WITH THE MOST DESIRABLE COURTESAN OF THE MOULIN ROUGE, SATINE (KIDMAN). SHE ALSO LOVES HIM, BUT HOW CAN THEY BE TOGETHER? SATINE HAS TO LIVE WITH THE DUKE, IN ORDER TO SAVE THE MOULIN ROUGE FROM ITS DEBTS.
THE MESSAGE THIS MOVIE TRIES TO SHOW IS HOW LOVE CAN OVERCOME OBSTACLES. I THINK IN THESE CRAZY DAYS OF ANGER AND VIOLENCE WE'RE LIVING IN, IT'S IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT LOVE CAN WIN
SOMETIMES, EVEN IF IT'S JUST IN FICTION.

MY FAVORITE FILM IS…

… PROBABLY GREASE. WHY? I JUST DON’T KNOW… MAYBE BECAUSE THAT’S FUNNY. I THINK I JUST LIKE THE SONGS AND THE SCRIPT IS REALLY NICE.
IT TELLS ABOUT A LOVE STORY INVOLVING THE GOOD AND PURE GIRL SANDY AND THE BAD BOY DANNY.
SANDY COMES TO THE USA FOR SUMMER HOLIDAYS AND HAS A SUMMER ROMANCE WITH DANNY.
DURING THIS TIME THEY SPEND LOTS OF GOOD MOMENTS AND WHEN SANDY’S PARENTS DECIDE NOT TO GO BACK TO AUSTRALIA, SANDY ENDS UP GOING TO THE SAME SCHOOL AS DANNY.
THE ONLY PROBLEM IS: DANNY IS TOO BAD BOY FOR SANDY AND THEY TRY TO WORK OUT THE PROBLEMS DURING THE WHOLE FILM.
I ACTUALLY ENJOY IT BECAUSE IT IS REALISTIC. THE PROBLEMS THE FILM SHOWS ARE AROUND US, I MEAN, ALTHOUGH THE FILM WAS MADE IN THE 70’S, WE – TEENAGERS – STILL FACE THESE PROBLEMS. IT IS REALLY COOL AND JOHN TRAVOLTA DANCING… IS THE BEST PART… BY FAR.
