The Freedom Writers - Movie Review

Hey people, well, I had to watch a movie for school last week. At first, I looked at the movie with some kind of prejudice, mainly because I was a little tired at the class, but, you know what? This movie is really great, it is one of the best I've ever seen, and I mean it.

It is called 'The Freedom Writers' (as said on the title of the post) and it' story is about a school, which was a great public school in the past, but it's quality has been going down recently. It's new students are in touch with violence daily, they have to take three buses to get to school, and the majority of these students just go to school to not get kicked out of their houses.

There is this woman, Mrs Gruwell (or Mrs G, as called by her students) that is a teacher who hasn't given any classes before and starts at this school. Her new students do not like her at first, but then bonds are born whith each other and they become really good friens.

I know, I know, it seems like the old story of the teacher who fixes the whole school, but don't judge a book by it's cover!

The film has 123 minutes long, it is American, and it's a 2007 movie, and Hilary Swank stares at it. It is highly recommendable. Hope you enjoy it!

Super Size Me - Movie Review

Hey everybody, today I'm here to talk abou a documentary I've just seen: Super Size Me.

It is, actually, a good documentary. It shows us many health issues liven not just by the USA, but by all the world. These health issues are caused by the world's bad alimentation, which, mainly, comes from the habit of eating fast food, a habit that has been taking control of everywhere. And this guy, Gordon, happens to make an 'experience', he decides to eat every one of his meals at McDonald's - one of the biggest fast food industries of the planet - in the duration of one month and show the consequences trough this movie.

He enterviews people, shows some deseases and the the power of the media, and also shows some gross situations he's been trough at this experience, which makes the movie very appealing, but not enough, I guess. Can I be true? The film actually made me hungry. I was starving for a McDonald's meal after I saw it! They showed the food of McDonald's in a... too cute way, you know?

But one of the reasons of the quality of this documentary was that they actually showed numbers, proved their sayings, enterviewed normal people, they found a way to make you know that they were saying the truth, and that's what really counts.

It is a rather good documentary, but as nothing's perfect, this couldn't be either, right?
