<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The idea of the American Dream is closely related with the statement
that all men are created equal, but over the time the meaning has stately
changed. Therefore, the movie The Great Gatsby (1974) an adaptation of F. Scott
Fitzgerald’s novel attempts to create an accurate view of it. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The story of the movie revolves around a mysterious character, called
Jay Gatsby. Gatsby is a rich business man who apparently likes to throw fancy
parties at his mansion. However, his parties are very peculiar in the sense
that none of his guests seem to know him personally.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, as the story unfolds, the atmosphere
becomes puzzled with questions and rumors about his identity. The action of movie starts in the summer of 1922 when Nick moves to West
Egg on Long Island Sound, where he visits his cousin Daisy and her husband Tom.
Then, Nick meets his neighbor, Gatsby and for the rest of the movie we observe
what happens to those that pursue the American Dream and to those who are borne
with it. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">In short, The Great Gatsby movie caught my attention in the sense that all the
characters and the settings seemed very realistic and this truly made me connect
with the atmosphere of the twenties. </span></div>

<br /><b>JOHNNY ENGLISH REBORN </b><br />
<br />The last Johnny English movie was different from the outstanding first movie of the famous Brittish Secret Agent, Johnny English.<br />Should you have seen the first film, the second one follows the pattern created in the first one. In addition, there is the monothematic issue like in the first one. The ridiculous Agent have to save the world from by using his "abilities". However, in this second movie, the Agent is more pathetic and even worse than how it was in the first one. From my point of view, the usage of too much burlesque scenes creates the feeling that it cannot be possible, and there is no Suspension of Disbelief here. So, I consider the film as a comedy/parody, but the main theme is boring.<br />Moreover, there are new elements introduced in this film, like the incredible Rolls V16 made just for this film under the will of Sir Rowan Atkinson. The avoidance of the Aston Martin of the first film and the similarities to James Bond are removed, but there is a similar line to Bond's movies, done in a bad way, in my opinion.<br />There are funny moments, specially the beginning when Johnny is training his Martial Skills, unsuccesful like always, so he pretends to be a better agent, but he falls just in the pretention because he is not going to be better. I find a parallesim between this idea of trying to be better than the first version between Johnny as well as the movie as a whole. However, it seems to me that they have failed in both aspects.<br /><br />Finally, I recommed to wacth the movie, you are going to enjoy funny moments, like at the beginning when he plays with a cat, for me, it's the best 2 minutes of the whole film, but you cannot expect to have a really great time.

<i><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Finding Neverland</span></i><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"> (2004)
is a drama based on the life of James Mathew Barrie, the author of the classic
Peter Pan. Specifically, it is about Barrie’s friendship with the family who
inspired him to create Peter Pan. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The story takes place in London in 1904.</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">
Barrie’s latest play has failed to impress the audience and he needs something
new because his producer is clamouring him a new show, but he is at a loss of
inspiration. However, Barrie's fortune changes during one visit to the park
where he finds four young boys and their widowed mother Sylvia. Barrie is
instantly attracted to the children. During the next months the author plays
with the boys daily. He leads them in games involving pirates, cowboys and
Indians; he dresses in funny costumes... <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Barrie
and the Davies family quickly become inseparable. The children like him and
Sylvia is grateful for his attention, especially since she has developed an
alarming cough and he helps her taking care of the boys. The only holdout is
Peter, he is wise and solemn, and he feels the loss of his father more than his
brothers. After a while, Sylvia's health worsens. The boys are reassured that
nothing serious is wrong, but Peter is sure they are lying to him about her
illness, as they did regarding his father disease.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"> Simultaneously, the whole town is talking
about Barrie and the Davies family. With reference to Barrie's wife, Mary, she
rarely sees him at home and she is disturbed about his relationship with the Davies
family. In addition, Sylvia’s mother is also worried by a man (Barrie) who
wants to become the best playmate of her grandchildren. Nevertheless, none of
these distractions take Barrie away from the boys, who are his muses. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Their
imaginative games give him ideas for a new play. He begins writing once again, and cannot
stop. Each new adventure with the Davies
clan leads to pages and pages for his new play about a young boy and a
visionary place called Neverland. The play’s opening night, Barrie invites 25
orphans and sits them through the audience, where their laugher stirs the
adults to see the magic in the later renamed play.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

actors and actresses of this film are Johnny Depp as <i>Sir James Mathew Barrie</i>, the protagonist of the film; Kate Winslet
as <i>Sylvia Llewelyn Davies</i>; and Freddie
Highmore as <i>Peter Llewelyn Davies</i>. </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Johnny
Depp and Kate Winslet do a great job. However, from my point of view, the most
remarkable performance is the one made by Freddie Highmore as <i>Peter Llewelyn</i>. This character really
moved me.</span><span lang="EN-GB"> </span><u><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></u></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">I am
of the opinion that <i>Finding Neverland</i>
is a story very well told with some charm. Personally, I believe that it’s very
emotive, tender and touching. And at the same time very funny. The more I look it, the more I like it. For
that reason,<span style="color: #222222;"> I strongly recommend you to see this
film. Especially, for those who in a way refuses to grow up, and for those who
like fantasy and creativity, because this film is a very good example of it.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">P<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">eter Bowman (David Morse), an American engineer,
is living with his wife (Alice) and building
a dam in the (fictional) city of Tecala, sited in South America ,when he is kidnapped
by antigovernment forces during an intrusion in the city. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Alice (Meg Ryan) immediately turns to Peter’s
corporation (sited in Houston) and they immediately provide help through Terry Thome’s
(Russel Crowe) services, an ex-soldier turned kidnap and ransom
professional negotiator. Terry immediately takes charge of the matter, but
unfortunately after few days, news from Houston communicate to Alice that they
are in a hard economic situation and consequently have no budget to afford the
hostage insurance. However, the negotiator being already really involved with
the case; decides to keep working on it on his own. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Due to this sudden situation things become
complicated since they have no economic support to pay the ransom that Peter’s rescue
costs. Thenceforward Terry starts preparing himself a rescue plan for Peter with
some old colleagues’ help. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">While this process and plan is being carried
on, a close relation occurs between Terry and Alice, a kind of opposed feelings
grow between them: Alice feels attracted to Terry but she is still worried and
suffering about her husband’s situation, on the other hand Terry being extremely
professional with his work and having always in mind the reason why he is
there; cannot avoid feeling the same attraction to his client. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">While watching the film there are two outstanding
senses found: impossible attraction/relation and suffering mixed, so there is a
bittersweet feeling transmitted during the whole movie.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The whole cast work it’s amazing, they reach
the goal of performing in a perfect and realistic way. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">As an absolute personal opinion I must admit
that since the first time I saw this film became one of my favorites because
the opposed feelings encountered. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">One of the other occurrences in the movie that seems
in</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">teresting to me is that through this kind of reports/films we can see how
people who live in poor and underdeveloped countries have to act in order to
protect and be able to feed themselves and their family. Nevertheless from my
point of view it would not justify innocent people who’s just working or trying
to help them having to pay and suffer for politic mistakes or deals.</span></span></div>
