Green Book presentation

 In the big screen in 2018, "Green Book" directed by Peter Farrelly make its first apparition. Inspired by the successful novel, the two main characters Tony Lip and Dr. Donald Shirley play the role of o penniless dad who had to work for his family and the other a famous black pianist. That work of art enhances injustices and the struggles black people lives. Here Tony Lip had been engaged by Dr Shirley to be his private driver, but work for a black man richer than him? For nothing in the world. But money issues are a huge problem in Tony‘s life, so he accepts the job against his own will. Time passes, they start now each other, and a real and strong friendship started to be develop between the two men.




Thelma and Louise

 This poignant film talks about two women who decided to emencipate themselves from their patriarchal life. It masterfully denounces women right at this time, they were under men oppression. Thelma and Louise represent emencipation by traveling to the west. This movie is inspired by the American Dream. I loved this movie because it talked about a cause that is rarely represented in movies. When we see them in the car at the end we understand that they finally have succeeded from emencipating themselves from a male dominated society. The director Ridley Scott denounced and illustrated the situation by creating an amazing action movie that would convey for any movie lover.


Movie review

 The movie Barbie directed by Greta agreeing does the work of putting their theory into practice. This absorbing and ultimately shattering portrayal of a beautiful young woman who sees her perfect world becoming a realistic one couldn’t be more timely. Barbie is a socially committed filmmaking at its finest. The genius of Greta Gerwing is rippling out every elements to help women realise through Ken’s behaviour, that we are still living in a patriarchal society and that if we don’t take a stand for our independence, our own world, our human rights then we will never reach an equal society. The brilliant film depicts the sad reality of what a woman needs to embody to fit in the society, which is perfection. If I had to sum up the film I would say: galvanizing. If Barbie thought me something it’s to be myself, fight for my dreams and never give up for no men because the patriarchal society needs to come to an end. 


Movie review


 « The hate you give » is a vibrant and powerful movie/drama about what black people in the US have to endure everyday. It is set in the US about a black family that has to deal with racism and violence made by the police.


Starr is a young black female who tries to live her teenage life peacefully. But one day she’ll lose someone close to her due to a violence comitted by a white police man to her black friend. She will fight for him and a cause that stills is an issue nowadays. The movie is really emotional and shattering knowing it happened in real life. People can easily rely on it. And the film director did an amazing job talking about racism and violence on civil.

The message of this movie is that racism is still present and we have to continue our fight to help the cause.
