I love films and movies, and for me they're one of the greatest inventions ever. I've seen many movies throughout my whole life, so for me it's difficult to even imagine my life without films. I also like going to the cinema but this term I haven't gone for a while, because my university duties. In other hand, this term I can't rent DVDs because, the store that use to provide the movie rent service, went bankrupt. So, this semester has been very "poor" about movies and films, because I haven't seen many new films. I don't have a favourite movie, because there are too many films that I like, no matter the genre. Although one of my favourites ones, is "Barry Lindon". It's a period film by Stanley Kubrick loosely based on the novel The Luck of Barry Lyndon. It recounts the exploits of unscrupulous 18th century Irish adventurer Barry Lyndon, particularly his rise and fall in English society. Another film that I like is "Snatch". It's is a crime film by British writer and director Guy Ritchie. The film is characterized by an assortment of colourful characters, including Mickey O'Neil (Brad Pitt), Russian-Uzbek ex-KGB agent Boris 'the Blade' Yurinov (or Boris the Bullet-Dodger) (Rade Šerbedžija), professional thief-gambling addict Frankie "Four-Fingers" (Benicio del Toro) and bounty hunter Bullet-Tooth Tony (Vinnie Jones). This film is very hard to explain, but in short it's about a bunch of different people who are trying to obtain a diamond which is worth a whole lot of money.
The same situation that I explain before about choosing favorites movies, happened to me when I have to chose a director. There're too many good directors, but I have to admitted that I like a lot Kubrick's works. I like the obsessive and perfectionist nature of his films, that I think reflected his personality. I also like the visual style of his films and specially the meticulous attention to details. Kubrick was an American director, writer, producer, and photographer that made around just 13 movies, but in my opinion the most of them are masterpieces (he won several Oscars and prizes for his films).
Finally, I can say that movies are a fundamental part of my life and of our time. Many of significant moments of our lives are related to films, scenes, soundtracks, etc. so since Lumiere's brothers first films, we're united forever with the "big screen".

Good job Thomas, but it could be a lot better if you mentioned the sources you take material from each time you do so. You are bright enough to use your own voice when writing, but, if you need to do it, next time you quote use quotation marks and include the web site address.
ResponderEliminarI've corrected a few things here and there.
