A Night At The Museum

The movie I chose is “A Night at the museum”. It was directed by Shawn Levy and the main characters are: The good guys: Larry Daley (Ben Stiller),Terry Roosevelt (Robin Williams). The bad guys: Gus (Mickey Rooney),Cecil (Dick Van Dyke) and Reginald (Bill Cobbs).

The movie is about a man called Larry Daley. Disillusioned and unemployed, he needs a job to pay his rent. So he is offered a job as a night guard at the natural History museum and he accepts it.
Cecil, the ex-night guard and his colleages Reginald and Gus show Larry the museum and tell him not to leave anything to get in or get out.
When the night comes, he falls asleep. When he wakes up he didn´t find the dinossaur and to his surprise it´s alive and acts like a dog. Another surprise is that all objects in the museum are alive too. When he goes to the miniature room he’s attacked and Terry Roosevelt saves him. He explains to Larry that the things in the museum are alive thank to the Ahkmenrah’s plate and if someone gets out when the sun is rising they are turned to dust.

In the end, the museum turns a success and people start visiting it. Every night when the museum closes, the objects come to life and have fun.
This movie makes us think we have to fight for our objectives if we want to succeed.
