Movie Review6 Pirates Of the Carribian

This movie is very famous movie. I don’t know what actor’s name and story, because I am not interested in a foreign films. When I watched it, I fell in love him. His name is Johnny Depp. It is loved in all parts of the world, and has powerful acting. So, now I want to watch it again and go to rental shop to borrow DVD. I like it very much. Let me

This movie’s of characters are three people. First, his name is Jack Sparrow and he is a pirate. His character is a very crazy man, so sometimes he is afraid of his surroundings. The next character is Will Turner. His character is an honest person, but both characters are different from each other. So, they fight over the pirates map in this movie. Elizabeth Swann is the only women. She is very beautiful, but I don’t like her. She is a young lady brought up free from care. She always properly dressed and has regular features. Will Turner and Elizabeth got married and have a happy end. But the story is not end.

The highlight of a film is action scenes and romantic scenes. Will and Jack have had a falling out with each other for the first time. In this movie, all of the pirates demand to fight with each other and bet money on the pirates map. I don’t like action scenes, but Jack Sparrow and other pirates have graceful figures. In addition, their relations developed into a love triangle. There were a lot of thrilling scenes in this film and it made me felt uneasy just to see it. Sometimes, I was sad, and happy in this film. I have never watched action scene on the DVD, but if I have a time, I want to watch it more and more. [313/8238words]

Movie Review5 Much Ado About Nothing

I have watched movies about Shakespeare’s work. His work is very difficult for me, but I like to watch his work. Shakespeare was born in England. When I was a high school student, I had stayed for a month and visited a lot of places and we went to Shakespeare’s house. I don’t know about him in detail, but was impressed with him. This time I watched Much Ado About Nothing for the first time. Let me tell you about it.

 

 This work is about good intentions and the ill-intentioned. Beatrice and Benetict were falling love with each other before they knew it. Love is a very good experience for us in life, so everyone can be very beautiful more and more. They fell into the man’s trap for the first time, but although they noticed the trap, they regarded love as a sort of game for each other and kept their relationship. In my case, I cannot do what they did, but that is just what one would expect of Shakespeare.

 

 A person out of a thing is very exciting, so everyone keep deceiving forever. Shakespeare’s word is a great shock to me so I want to watch his movie more and more. In the same way as just like his word, his work is described the various expression. Everyone knows Romeo and Juliet. Shakespeare’s work is written about love and comedy, tragedy etc. I want to know about his work more and more than now. Deceiving is bad thing and never done again. Life is the joys and sorrows of life. I think that feel happy than now and in case of women, everyone want to become happy. As the same of woman, I want to choose happy life in the future. What is happy life asked in myself and study English more harder. To spend good life, sometimes I think that Beatrice and Benetict’s love. [318/7925words]
