A Movie Review on "El Presidente"

Throughout majority of the movie you think the guy is doing everything wrong. You start to question his parenting skills when you see that their apartment is filled with toys, and that he doesn’t send her to school but instead go to Disneyland. Then, the twist comes and you realize that you've been seeing things all wrong. He just wants his daughter to have the best life and spent the most possible time with her, because he found out that her daughter is going to die. Despite the movie being in mostly Spanish, the message translated through this film will tug at your heartstrings. From the beginning to the end there is combinations of laughs and emotions that through one way or another anyone can relate. It talks about the challenges and sacrifices parents have to face for their children. It also shows, that parents go out of their way and will risk many things to protect their children from getting hurt, even from their own families. Also, how important it is to spend family and quality time with their children because, we are not guaranteed how much time we will have with

Lots of music, fast cuts, fantastic cinematography and superb sets and costumes make it the lively tale it was meant to be. These features also make the film somewhat cartoon-like with a lot of heightened realism. Don't expect to see British people prancing around in tights when you rent this one. Luhrmann creates a world where gun-toting youths sport Hawaiian shirts and beachfront brawls are an everyday event.

Overall I found the movie to be quite interesting and exciting at times but a bit slow in others. The story itself was very clear to me and didn’t cause any confusion. It had a good flow also, just as you were on the verge of falling into boredom with a scene they switched it up on you to keep you

My final rating of the movie is three out of five stars because the sound effects were pretty good. The camera movements were good. The fight scenes were realistic and the characters didn’t fit their description but played their part

Imagine, it is a sunny day and the light reflects off of the surrounding sea and onto an ideal beach home. Nothing but beautiful people, sunshine, and good times. But alas good times do not always last as next comes a blast from the past so powerful it is still felt 8 years into the future! If all those images have been conjured up in the viewer’s mind, then you have the basic plot to this foreign film ‘Instructions Not Included’. But wait there is more I promise.

In my opinion, I feel that this movie, compared to today’s standards, is poor quality. From the 1980’s to the current time, the Hollywood industries and other movie producers have made astronomical improvements with every film released, and ever since

There are people that agree with that and many that didn’t think that it was so great. It was nice to know the background information on each of the character. This helped me know why they were there and why they would stay to risk their lives. It was clear that some of the members did not accept Skinner because of his color at first. It was nice to see everyone bond and even accept him and even apologize to him. They my not have liked each other at first, but at the end they risked their lives for each other. I also enjoyed the scenes with the dogfights. I was on the edge of my seat during everyone of those scenes hoping that none of them dould die and that they would defeat the enemy. I was sad whenever one of the members of the squadron died. I think that i felt this way because of their stories and how they all got so close. It would be horrible to lose someone that someone would risk their life to save. I would say that this team is kinda of like the team in Fast and Furious because they may be very different but at the end of the day they would risk their lives for each other. It was nice that there was kind of a love story also thrown into the movie. It provided sort of a break from all the war and sadness. It was funny when Rawlings was trying to impress the children and the girl he liked. It was also sweet when he tried to learn French for her, and she tried to learn English for him. I feel that this

The film depicts the life of Piri ounce again from his home life, to the gang activities he got involved in, to every other violent act that finally led him to his six year sentence in jail. I also realized the great influence that Piri had in the community, being the first Puerto Rican writer to receive recognition in the United States. All of Piris careers had to do with the purpose of inspiring the youth. When he became an educator he taught writing in order to encourage creativity not only for himself but also r for the community to express

The best part to learn from in my opinion is the Epilogue where the Chavez speaks to the lives of undocumented immigrants inside the political and social environment that has recently "shadowed" to be stricter on illegal

La Amistad movie is a movie from the year 1997 and it is directed by the famous director, “Steven Spielberg”. This famous director has made a lot famous movies like for example the famous movie of “Jurassic Park” or “E.T”. Amistad is the word for “friendship” in Spanish. In this movie four different languages are spoken. English, Spanish, Portuguese and Mende. Mende is the language that the African slaves speak in. This movie is a little recreation of a true story about slave revolt on a small Spanish schooner in 1839. This revolt caused a series of trials beginning in the lower parts of Connecticut. This case not only marks a milestone for Abolitionists in their fight against slavery but it also questioned the natural laws of our Constitution.

movie was very exciting to me. Carlos, a Mexican illegal immigrant lives in Los Angeles with his

The first part that upset me the most was the officer that now has to talk differently because an idiot wanted prove a point to someone for his clan the other part that upset me was about the two guys that lost their mother due to someone’s stupidity and feeling of hate

Finally, the 'camerawork' in the cutscenes, especially the second game, is very good. There is a particularly effective close-up of one character where it shows her face and a knife that she was going to use to kill herself, making both her expression and her intent clear in one shot. Another good piece of 'camerawork' is in a confrontation between two characters where the angle changes rapidly, making the whole thing feel disjointed, unnerving and surreal.

Mostly all the scenes were intense, you just couldn’t wait to know what would happen next. In my opinion they were no pathetic scenes, they were all good to me.

When watching this movie, I tried to listen very carefully to find words or phrases I knew. I had to watch the full movie in Spanish without subtitle, neither in English nor Spanish. I could understand about one in every four sentences. However, I do not believe that impaired or hindered my understanding of the movie. I could follow along with the movie by catching phrases here and there, as well as watching the actions of the actors carefully. For instance, the movie was released in 1999, mentioned in the title, but from a scene in the movie I was able to determine that the setting was a small town in Spain in the year 1936.
