Letters to Juliet (2010)
letters to Juliet
The title of the movie is letters to Juliet Paragraph 1:
I have just seen this movie and would like to give an opinion about it its drama, romance and comedy all together that's what makes it a nice family movie that everyone can watch together since its rated PG. it's about a young lady who travels to Verona Italy from New york with her fiancée for a romantic getaway and she find herself falling for another guy and working with a group of women who respond to all kinds of love letters.
Paragraph 2:
letters to Juliet is about Sophie a young writer who lives in new york ,who went to Verona for a romantic get away with her fiancée who doesn't give her much of attention as he couldn't care less about what she does or her interest all he cares about is his new restaurant of that he is about to open in new york. So instead of spending time with her he tries to find things that he could use for his new restaurant.
So as she was walking around the city she ended up meeting a group of women who responds to people's letters, that's when she ends up finding a letter which was written 50 years ago by a 15 year old British girl who was in love with a young guy from barceleno spain and who she had let him go just to go to London to pursue her dreams.
PARAGRAPH 3: -Amanda Seyfried who played the character of Sopia Hall did a great job acting as a writer from New York. She makes the movie interesting and gives it more fun.
-Christopher Egan who played as Carlie Wyman, Clairs grandson who didn't agree with the idea of his grandmother in the beginning gets to do so in time after seen to what extend sophie have gone to make his grandmother happy.
-Vanessa Redgrave who played as Claire Smith Wyman the girl who wrote the letter to Juliet years back comes back to Verona in search of her true love. I believe she has done a good job and she makes it more interesting.
-Franco Nero who plaid as Lorenzo Bartolini even if his part is very small he played one of the main characters and he did it very well .
-Gael Garcia Bernal played as Victor, Sofhie's fiancée who is obsessed with food , cooking and his new restaurant and he doesn't give much of attention to her but then I believe he did good job.
Paragraph 4: All and all it's a great movie its very adventures, romantic and full of surprises. the only thing that could be done to make it even more nice was the love scene between Sophia and Victor although it was very short and personally i would make the movie more romantic and more exiting if they have more love scene between them.
Paragraph 5: I have learn so many things from this movie the most important one been it's never too late to find your true love and if you love someone don't give up on that person.
Paragraph 6: Anyone can see this movie for parental advisory is not needed. it's a great romantic comedy which is rated PG so it's a great family movie. Would highly rate this movie and i give it a 4/5 since I found it more fun and it definitely made sense.

Winnie (2011)
winnie mandela
Basically the movie talks about South Africa which was one of the very last countries to get its independence in Africa .We get to understand how much South Africans suffered during the apartheid regime and what the leaders and other citizens went through before they finally became self ruled, the discrimination of Africans in their own country and not to mention the bloodshed during this times. This is a very touching movie full of sorrows and tears but not forgetting the comic part of it as seen in the early stages. It's very hilarious in its kind, full of romance and a lot of suspense especially in the middle .It is also very emotional, breathtaking and very educative. The movie talks about the life of Winnie Madikizela-Mandela (Jennifer Hudson), from her strict rural upbringing by a father disappointed she was not born a boy, to her giving up the chance to study in America in order to remain in South Africa where she felt more needed, through her husband Nelson Mandela's (Terrence Howard) imprisonment. She then faces continuous harassment by the security police, banishment to a small Free State town, betrayal by friends and allies, and more than a year in solitary confinement. Upon her release, she continues her husband's activism against apartheid and, after his release from prison, suffers divorce due to her infidelity and political pressure.The main character is Jennifer Hudson who is referred as Winnie Madikizela Mandela. I find her to be a very strong woman who will always fight for what she thinks is right. She is that woman who will go to that extend without fear of what people will think about her or what people say about her. She fought anyone she considered was a threat to her and what she has been fighting for. She did a very good job as she teaches women to be strong no matter the problems of day to day life and that no one should give up without a fight. She was very courageous and she took up the role very good. The second character is Terence Howard who plays the role of Nelson Mandela .His character was very well portrayed as that fighter who will sacrifice everything he had just for the freedom of his people .Even though he was very strong at the beginning I found him to be so down at the end of the movie since he did not become what everyone expected him to be, he brings out his soft part and that not how we expect those people fighting for us to be
even though his role came out quite well I think I would love to see the strong part of him. Hlomla Dandala also known as Oliver Tambo is the other character in the movie and he plays a role of a good friend to Mandela. He did a very good job since he tried so hard to stand by his friend and he also got himself in a boiling soup fighting against the white regime as he was also got imprisoned .He played his role very well. The most things I liked about the movie was the fact that it made me as a reader understand South Africa much better during the start and at the end of apartheid regime. It all made sure that it targeted both the age groups without discriminating any. I liked when Winnie decided she would continue with the struggle even after the arrest of her husband. I didn't like it when Mandela decided to divorce Winnie as seen in the last scene of the movies as I thought that woman really struggled during his absence and no matter what she did she was supposed to be forgiven since it was not easy for her for Mandela was arrested when she was still very young. I also didn't like it when Winnie decided to take laws in her hands and decided to kill anyone who was against ANC by that time and who could not follow what she wanted as seen in the last third scene of the movie. The movie teaches us that; 1. No matter how hard some things look if you continue to put more effort then you will surely succeed in one way or another. 2. It also shows the strength of a woman by explaining that what a man can do a woman can still do the same thing 3. It also states that you should fight for what you believe in no matter how hard it is to get what you want. 4. we should also not use violence for violence since dialogue is and will always be the way out Anyone can watch this movie since it has targeted all age groups from the young to the old and even the romance part of it does not hinder the children from watching and so I consider it as a family movie.
In other hand I think this movie is much of a TV movie and no part of Winnie Mandela biography. According to my views someone biography should be written or said in a way that it becomes history even after that person is long gone as it should make that person be remembered in one way or the other. This movie has represented Winnie's bad side since it criticizes her too much which should not be part of biography.
Even though I felt the movie was quite interesting to watch I also feel it could have done much better for its rating is not that good considering its main actors are two very well known people not to mention its producer TD JAKES who is a well known Christian evangelist and the Christian denomination would have loved to see better than what he produced .I will rate the movie at 2/5 since I expected better than this as the title really moved me to want to know what it was all about.
