THE LAST SONG !

Hi, this week I will like to talk about a drama, romance movie call The last song, that was released this year 2010, the director is Julie Anne Robison. A seventeen years old Veronica got upset when her parents got divorced, and her father moved to Tybee Island. She remained angry with her parents, until her mother sended her and his brother to spend the summer with their father. Her father was a former concert pianist and teacher, where he will become the centerpiece of the local church. She found a cute guy in the beach, with the one she started getting in love.

They pass all summer in the beach, knowing from each other. Veronica's father died after been detected of cancer. The message of this film is finding the love in different ways, with your family, friends and your boyfriend.

I think that most of teenagers have problems with their parents, but I think that in this age it is normal to have this kind of problems because we teenagers wanted everything and we have to understand that we have to earn the things we have, also that there are some rules that we have to follow because life is not only fun it is also to have responsabilities but not forgetting the people you love. I think that the most important in the world is our parents, because they are the ones who give us support and ideas, the one who care about us, so we should be glad of having them alive

CHARLES CHAPLIN

Charles Spencer Chaplin was an actorm directos, guionist and musician. He was born in Great Britain in 1889 and died in Swetzerland in 1997.

13 Going to 30!

Hello there! I would like to talk about this comedy film that was released in 2004 by Gary Winick. This movie show us how a 13 young girl wanted to be 30 young woman. She wanted to be a young woman because she wanted to make with her life what she wants. She was not popular when she was young and she was the typically teneager that wanted to have more age and to grow up fast until become adults. I think that teens want this because they want to be free, to do whatever they want. I think that they want to be aduts because they can party everyday, the can drive, drink, they can buy whatever they want, and they can take any decision. In my opinion been a child is the best part of your live and you have to enjoy it because it is a short period. Is different from adults, because adults has to work to survive, pay bills and have many responsabilities. We should take advantage of our childhood and enjoy every moment with our friends, because is the best parto of our lives which we would never forget.

In this movie, we can see that the director doesn´t use a lot of special effects, because it is a comedy. The light they use is high key lighting.

The musical movies are cinematography genres that are characterized because the dialogues and speches are interrupted by musical fragments and also they are joined by a coreography. At the beginning the objetive of this genre the musical fragment was only to impress the people, with no conection with the dialogues and the narrative. But later on the musicals began to be more mature, to be better and the plays were connected with the film.

The industry of film creates their first musical called "THE MELODY OF BROADWAY" form Harry Beaumont. This movie earns the Oscars and with this the musicals began to apears in the 30´s and it was joined with the black films.
