"Billy Elliot"




This movie takes place in England. Its about a boy in a poor family. His name is Billy Elliot. The family and a bunch of other people in the movie are are on a strike for workers rights.

Apparently when the movie begins we figure out Billy's mom is dead. And obviously this makes his dad a very unhappy person. He has a brother who has a tough guy attitude and can be pretty rude. He also lives with a grandma that has amnesia and acts pretty strange.

The movie was okay it shows how any gender should be able to do anything if they truly want to. Billy learned how to dance very well. He was very passionate about it. And he got to fulfill his dream of being a dancer through plenty of hardships.

{Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon}






This movie takes place in China. The theme is ancient china. It was a kung fu movie with beautiful scenery and movement.

They did a very nice job with the movement and scenery. The acting was also pretty good. I believe the characters they chose for the roles were perfect. Even the girl from James Bond played in this movie.

They had a lot of weapons from ancient Chinese fairy tales and they showed the ancient Chinese customs very well. I really enjoyed this movie and you will too. I have always been fascinated with ancient China and their fairy tales; this is by far the best movie we have watched in Global Film studies so far.

{Litle Miss Sunshine }



It is about a slightly dysfunctional family living in New Mexico. Their adventure start with them going to California for a Little Miss Sunshine girl contest. The daughter in the movie named Olive really wants to win one.

It is a dysfunctional family of 6 The Dad, Mom, Son, Daughter, Uncle, and Grandpa. The mom is always stressed and began to smoke. The dad is too optimistic and has a major ego, while the son has silenced himself for a year. The daughter has a big dream of winning a contest, the Grandpa is a cocaine addict and the uncle tried committing suicide because of his life falling apart.

They went on a road trip to California. They experience a lot of bad luck and a tragic loss. This movie is really funny but has sort of a good message in the end. Your struggles are what make you you don't try to hard to be like everyone else around you.

{The Kings Speech}

This movie takes place in England. It is about how George the sixth became king of England. This movie one awards for itself.

It was a good movie actually. I love the British and how formal they are. Apparently King George had a speech problem so he couldn't give speeches.So Lionel who became friends with George in the movie helped him out with voice training exercises.

This movie had really good ratings. Although the movie is a bit slow it is still a good movie over all. since it didn't have action in it I didn't love it, but for a movie of this genre is really good.
