This movie makes me nervous, but never in tears. The sad parts were presented with grace and dignity. I like the way they tell the stories. But the story wasn’t very intriguing to me. I may have different understandings in the future with more life experience. A funny thing was that I watched The Little Prince earlier that day, and it also features a plane and an aviator in the desert. What a coincidence!

A beautiful, warm, and sad story. It makes the audience reflect. We often commercialize ourselves after we grow up and forget to enjoy all the colors of our lives. The Little Prince is a well-known story. I read the book more than ten years ago and never knew there was a movie until yesterday, when I saw it on P+. So I decided to watch it right away. I am happy that the elderly retired aviator and the little girl’s mom support her so well with love, patience, and understanding.

I started watching it two weeks ago and finished the first half. Today, I finished the second half. I decided to watch it because I was wondering where the ark is now. A friend said I needed to watch Indiana Jones, lol. I’ve heard of this name for a long time, and it is a Paramount movie, so why not watch it? It could be a little scary, but it is a warm and fun story. Dr. Jones is handsome, funny, brave, smart, and kind.

I went to the theater to watch Avatar: The Way of Water, but slept for at least two hours. I never understood the story. However, I still decided to watch the new Avatar film because it is successful and one of my friends strongly recommended it. After the first 25 minutes, I wanted to fall asleep again, but I tried my best to stay awake. Then, I got to understand the story and began to enjoy it. The story was fine. But the pictures were very beautiful.

Since I have been studying the story of David every week for several months, I thought I needed to watch this movie. It was for children, so the plots are simple. But the music and the pictures are both satisfying for me. I enjoyed it.

This movie is different. You would expect something might happen, but it won’t. I couldn’t appreciate until I watched some YouTube videos with detailed explanations of what happended in the movie and how the story was created. It was a great!

I’ve wanted to see this film for a long time, but never did. I knew it from the show The Offer. One of my colleagues at Paramount said he didn’t like this movie because it was too dark. After watching The Godfather and several other dark and horror movies, I am no longer afraid of watching most movies. Chinatown is a great movie. There were some dark elements, and the ending wasn’t what we wanted, but that was the reality in many cases. It would be boring if every movie had a happy ending.

This is a great film. A great story and great pictures. The two girls were so beautiful. I was amazed by Isabelle’s beauty and learned that she was played by Sophie Marceau, whose name I had heard so many times. I also liked Mel Gibson, who was the producer, the director, and the major actor. I couldn’t imagine one person could play three important roles in a film and do such a great job! Amazing!

My favorite scene is Micheal meets Appollonia for the first time.

It has an engaging story and breathtaking visuals. Watching it on the big screen was an amazing experience, and I felt so proud that it was Paramount that made it. The song “If I Fall,” which played at the end, instantly got stuck in my head, and I couldn’t stop listening to it. I’ve been playing it on repeat while driving, imagining that every car on the road has a soul.

I watched The Sound of Music because Reagan mentioned it was his favorite movie. The last time I saw it was over ten years ago. It’s a classic film, full of fun and with a great love story. I admire how Maria is kind and stays true to herself, bringing energy and passion to everything she does. Her strong faith helps her face the challenges of the mischievous children and the strict, cold demeanor of the captain without fear.

A friend recommended Reagan to me, and it was a great experience. I didn’t realize he was an actor before becoming President of the U.S. This movie taught me a lot about the country and its history. I also really enjoyed seeing the relationship between Reagan and Nancy—their love and support for each other is truly inspiring and amazing!

This is the story of the great Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan. Mathematics was his true calling, and he pursued it with unparalleled dedication. His experiences suggest the presence of a higher power and the possiblity of a profound connection with it. It’s tragic that Ramanujan’s life was cut short so early. His life also reminds us that even those who love us can sometimes unintentionally cause harm, so it’s essential to prioritize our own well-being and self-care.

Even without extensive knowledge of the Marvel Universe, I found it to be a fun movie. Despite the numerous violent fight scenes, they were neither scary nor sad. After working for a movie company for 2.5 years and visiting three movie studios in Hollywood, I learned to take movie stories less seriously because I know they are fictional. The filmmakers just want us to enjoy ourselves!

This is a great story about passion, faith, and commitment! Abraham was able to win the gold medal in Olympics in the end after trying very hard and the training day and night to achieve his goal and realize his stream. He succeeded and became the winner. However, this is just a story about the winner. What about other runners who didn’t win the game? My friend provided a good point. This is just the story about this guy. Other people had their own life stories, and they won in their ways.

This is a quiet and romantic movie. My favorite lines are: “We rip out so much of ourselves to be cured of things faster that we go bankrupt by the age of 30 and have less to offer each time we start with someone new. But to make yourself feel nothing so as not to feel anything. What a waste!”
