Are some pictures of the movie Casablanca,very famous film,but very old. I like many kinds of films,romantic , comedy, action, etc. I like also watch in the cinema, but It is increasingly expensive and I am student.

One film has made a big impact on me: Is the cult film Fight club starring Brad bit and Edward Norton.
Brilliantly acted, though incredibly violent; the film aims to deal with the sense of meaningless pervading the capitalist american culture. The film explores some very interesting political concepts, and although handling an extremey bleak outlook on life, contains plenty of dark humour.

I havent seen the film but the style of it appeals to me immensely; it seems like a very classy film and i love the pictures.

Casablanca:I have not seen still but I know that it is very famous and one of the most important movies of the history.
I do not have a movie that has impressed me, but yes there are many movies that left good recollection me and they have made me think. For example a movie of these is a Mar adentro.

Hi Everbody,
my favorite film is "Bang Boom Bang"! It's a german film production and it is so funny! As you can see I like comedies a lot, but only if they are really funny and original. In my opinon it is more important to have an interesting idea than a really expensive film production, which has cost a huge amount of money, but without any meaning. Most of these films are quite poor regarding to the story. That's why I prefer more and more film productions from all over europe. Hollywood repeats to much same topics and they use most of the time stereotypes as for example: "Somebody has to be a heroe or that in the end there has to be a love affair and always the "good ending". Sometimes I like that, but not always. I think you know what I mean by that?!
But looking back to the question, if "Bang Boom Bang" has had a big impact on me, I have to say no y just like the style, the humor, the action etc.. And I don't forget some expression, which I can't tell you here, because you have to listen to it in the context. Anyway
it's a great movie with a lot of sequences of funny "bullshit". So if anyone of you will learn German one day, go to watch and enjoy that movie.
Casablanca: I remember that my mum always watched with my brother and myself classical films on TV and maybe aswell Casablanca. This is a serious problemI got, because most of the time I can not remember the films I have seen in the past.
See u next week in clase! Enjoy our extended weekend!

the film that had a big impact on me was american ganster, this film is recently, only has 2 or 3 months, like his tittle, the type os the film is ganster in usa is very interesting to know how was the situation in these years in usa.
how police politics and gansters worked to win money by drugs, violence,problems...
then i like the protagonist, denzel washington, and the other actors like russel crow too.
and finally the soundtrack is very fantastic,singers have a great voice and sing soul music, i like this type of music!!

- "La Teniente O´neil" is the film that has impressed me because when I saw I was very small and I was discovering the situation of women in many respects. This film tries to put to the test as a lieutenant but everything is a political hypocrisy.


- I haven´t seen this movie. I imagine it´s a classic but I don´t like this type of films.

Carlos said...

My favourite film is Bad Boys II , because these film is of action . In these film I see the wolrd of the police , that it is what I like , I like these world . Also these film have a point comic , because the protagonist are will smith and Martin Lawrence , and they are very comedians . They are always discussing, and always they end up forming it .

gloriac said...

I like many films but maybe my favourite one is Life is beautiful.It´s and incredible film and an amazing argument.I like too much because the leading actor has been taken to a concentration camp with her son, and he convinces that everything is a game and play with him to win a tank.I don´t know how Guido have got the willpower to smile and to think how convince to his son of everything...I like this positive way to solve the problem .....

Vero said...

My favourite film is "Lovers of the Arctic Circle", written and directed by Julio Medem (the same film director that "Sex and Lucía"). This is a story of passionate and secret love told by each of the main characters, Ana and Otto. It,s very beautiful!
Another interesting movies for me are "Life is beautiful", Memento, Kill Bill, "The sea inside"...

Vero said...

Casablanca is a clasic and popular film, I have not seen the movie but I know fragments and some famous phrases that are a part of the history of the cinema like "play it again, Sam".

Nira said...

2.HI!!I never see this film!!!o my god!!jajaj.i don´t now what i can say!!!!

Nira said...

1.the film GLADIATOR is mi favourite film!!!when i see it i feel so sad because is a sad history but at the same time i feel well because the issue is very impressive.The leading is a man that shows to be brave that does that all a roman empire was won by an alone man.This is my favourite film!!!

saulo said...

A lot films has had a big impact for me, for example braveheart,training day,crush ect..the film like crush with this stile of a lot of stories witch has some in common, i think that is very cool and creative because the director get to show differents life´s stile of different people witch only try to live with their problems and happiness.
-Casablanca is a very famous film but i reconized i do´nt see yet, but i think in his moment that film was very cool and creative,and everybody know like always we agreed to go Paris.

Richard said...

1 - My favourite film is the same movie like yosiass... is a love story but too is a drama.. This one caused a hard impact in my. Because I don´t want that the person who more you love in your life, one day doesn´t recognize you.. It´s the worst sensation that i might feel.
Because I have my grandmother and too my great-grandmother with the same disease and I do not want that it happens to me ever..

2- And about the film.. I have never seen it but I would like to watch this film some a day..I believe that it´s very famous and I think that it´s a movie that the all the world should see a day...

My favourite film is... "Miss Agente Especial" but I like too Indiana Jones films. I never had seen Casablanca because nobody had proposed to me and if noboy do it, I think that I won´t see.

1.-No only one film had a big impact for me. There are a lot of films with who I learn too much and there are films that make me feel amazing feelings but if I have to choose just one... I am going to write about "A beatiful mind" in spanish called "una mente maravillosa". I saw this film with my parents and it was incredible because I started to cry and it was the first time that my mum saw me crying for a film. I choose this film also for the film argument it is very interesting and I think that ussually when someone are a genius in something it is quite posible that he/she are a litle bit crazy because if you can think too much and very fast you will get crazy for sure. Your mind get colapsed. To summary I want to say that in this films the the principal actor expose a theory about how to flirt with the girls that it is real eficient.
2.-I never saw "casa blanca". I know that people use to say that is a good one film but someone telling me the plot and I decided to not see it never in my life but maybe I change my idea and I will see it ajajaj Who knows?.

Adrián said...

I have a lot of favourite films but one that impact me is Earthlings. i saw about two weeks ago with my girlfriend that she study veterinary. She said me that this film are comprehensive documentary ever produced on the correlation between nature, animals and human economic. i never saw anithing like this.

The picture remind me this film, Casablanca and the sad final.

Sinu said...

I love a film that I've seen so many times and it is called "Gladiator". It is the story of a roman gladiator that must fight for his freedom. And there are other gladiators fighting for the same reason, so they all are similars and they stay together living in the same place. So they are like "friends". The only difference is that they must fight between themselves to get the freedom.

Sinu said...

Ohh! I forgot it! I have not see Casablanca film so I can not comment anything

Moisés said...

maria said...

It hurts me in my heard...but I must say I have not seen Casablanca yet!
I know it's a classic of the cinema's history...but some day I'm going to see this film!!

....yosías...The end of a movie can never be revealed!!!!!!!

maria said...

CARAMEL or SUKKAR BANAT (in arabian) impacted me. It's only a sweet film, I was surprised 'cause its not a belic film like the most libanese films that tells us the war of 1975-1990.

This film is diferent, tells us the social and moral problems of five libanese women.
Problems such as yours and mine.


How fast passed the course, is not it?
A small effort and to continue enjoying!!!

1.the film that has had the biggest impact on me was The Lion King .It might sound silly but I saw it when I was younger and it made me cry so much when Simba's dad died.it made me realyze that we're all going to die sooner or later and it seemed so unfair for little Simba.I can't remenber the age I was when I saw it for the first time but once I saw it I couldn't stop, I watched it almost everyday.
2.I havent seen this film but I now that it's very famous.

Isma said...

The movie wich had the greatest impact on me was "Dead Man Walking". An american movie starring Sean Penn and Susan Sarrandon directed by Tim Robins about the relationship between a nun and a condamn person to capital judgement. I loved this movie because it touched me deep and thanks to a great actors performance it made me feel in a strange mood for few days.

Suraj said...

1- I love cinema, I like all types of film, but I think that my favorite's type is science ficcion. Is veru difficult to me choose my favorite's films, but I think that they are: The lord of the rings, forrest gump, blade runner, aliens, Godfather, American history X, Red thelephone,star wars, apocalysis now, fight club,braveheart seven, the last kiss, the life of bryan etc
All theses movies have made a big impact on me.

2- In this picture we can see a photo of a great film of all times, a classic film: Casablanca. I see this film this year, is beatiful, and his end is incredible.

Saw has had a great impact on me because is hard to understand and its horrible how the old man kill persons and he really doesn't care.
There are 4 Saw films but I prefer the first one because it had the most impact.

This picture is from the film 'Casablanca' which is very famous. I have not seen the film because I think it would be very boring

GeOrGe said...

My favourite film is GLADIATOR.
I believe this is one of the greatest films ever made and that I have seen because of its powerful and sentimental meaning that is portrayed in the film. It has history, great action, great acting, and great music that give the film a wonderful feeling. It was greatly filmed in that it truly depicts the world of the Roman Empire with the wonderful monument of the Coliseum.

My favourite film is CHOK-DEE (Champion of Champions). I teach myself that although there are people who have more experience and that has practiced during all their life a sport .If you work hard and you put delivery to everything what beams and you want really it of heart. You have to know that nothing is impossible.I like that me of the film , although you are less trained if you work hard and you don´t leave to your you obtain this dreams .This is the what passage to Dida Diafat without knowing how to him to fight he went Thailand to learn Thai Boxing and get to be Champion of Champions.
The truth is that I haven´t seen this film because I don´t like this class of film, but I think that is an old and romantic film .

Manu said...

I havent got a favourite film, but for example, i like very much "The presuit of happyness", the film are based in a true history. The principal actor is Will Smith, and in the film he is the person that trie to get his dream, have a good job and live with his son. This film has made a big impact on me. And the other film that i can see in the picture, "Casa Blanca", I don't know, i never see this film.

sam said...

I have never seen this film, but i have heared that it was a very very good film...so i can't say nothing about it...i hope watch it soon..

1. A movie that impressed me much is Requiem for a Dream. This film exposes four paralleled individuals and their menacing addiction to heroin, cocaine, and diet pills (speed). Taking place in Brooklyn amidst the waning Coney Island, the drugs are very easily obtained and keep each main character in its cycle of dependence. The protagonist Harry Goldfarb is your typical heroin junky with an ambitious plan of "Getting off hard knocks," with help from his cocaine crazed girlfriend Marion and his long time friend Tyrone. Meanwhile his widowed mother is obsessed with the glamor of television and eventually finds her way to a dietitian who pushes her into the cycle of drug induced enslavement.

It is very real and emotional!!!

However, Another day I saw " The Green Mile " and also I liked much.
Death Row guards at a penitentiary, in the 1930's, have a moral dilemma with their job when they discover one of their prisoners, a convicted murderer wich has supernatural power that can treat diseases. When he is going to be executed in the electrical chair they discover that he is innocent... Nevertheless...

2. I have not seen Casablanca. I know that it is a classic and I have to see her, but I never find the moment for it.
