Post 7: Movies

I do not go to the cinema as often as I would like because of the classes and the university. Also I like to watch TV series a lot, but every time I can I watch a movie. In the television, cinema or my computer. I like different kind of movies, the ones with romantic topics runs first and then I’ve watched (and enjoyed) horror, comedy and drama.

I am not a fan of the sci-fi, but I like films of dystopia, for example The Maze Runner or Divergent. Also I saw a few months ago a movie from Tim Burton, called Alice Through the Looking Glass (which is the second part for Alice in Wonderland) and I found out the second part was so much better. It keeps you excited the 2 entire hours and it is really fun.

There is a film I have watched like a thousand times, even when I know exactly what happens and what they are going to say next. It is an American production called Almost Famous. I think is from the year 2002 and directed by Cameron Crowe (a man who knows what he does). I like the style of this movie, very simple and everything well done though is a day-to-day story. The director also wrote columns for Rolling Stone, in the real life.

It is about a young boy who is in secondary but loves the music and wants to be a journalist. That’s why he starts writing about a band called Stillwater (who actually exists) and it’s hired by Rolling Stone Magazine, so he became the reporter who travels with Stillwater in the American band tour. A lot of drama happens, but music is always present. They sing Tiny Dancer by Elton John in a emotional scene that makes you love them. Also there are references to the rock and pop culture, there’s a great actress called Kate Hudson which performs as Penny Lane as a mention to The Beatles.

This is a fun, interesting and lovely movie that makes you identify with the characters and the story. So I will be happy to see it again and recommend it to everyone who is reading.
