Rushmore: Max Fischer

I like Max Fischer a little because of all the different qualities he has. Sometimes he is romantic and sometimes he is selfish. He is in love with the teacher and this makes him act romantic. He made a play about the army at the end of the movie so he can make everybody appreciate him and he even made some friends. The things I hate about Max was that he broke one law which is breaking the brakes in Mr. Blume's car, he is mean, and he did some mean things in the movie. He even lied to everybody in the movie. The good thing was that Max later in the movie became friendly again with Mr. Blume, he is good at making plays, but the bad thing is that he is a worst student because in Rushmore, he failed alot of subjects. I don't quite want to become Max Fischer's friend because Max can lie to me and sometimes be mean.

The Fellowship of the Ring

This movie started off in the army of Mordor where Sauron the arch bad guy dies, an elf who found the ring did not destroy the ring because it can control people's mind. For many years, Bilbo found the ring that Gollum was looking for, after Bilbo's birthday. Gandalf told Frodo to be careful with the ring and go somewhere. Sam goes with Frodo even Merry and Pippin. Later on, they meet Aragorn in a village, he took the hobbits somewhere safe. But the spirits saw them and when Frodo put the ring on to be invisible, one poisoned Frodo with a sword because they can see him but none of the people can. After Frodo was poisoned, Arwen came to help Frodo and bring him to Rivendell where elves live in. When he got there, he was better and he saw Bilbo in Rivendell. Later on, after they discuss about the ring, Frodo, Gandalf, Aragorn, Sam, Gimili, Pippin, Merry, Legolas, and Boromir decided to work to bring the ring to Mordor. I thought it was a good idea that hobbits, an elf, a dwarf, and humans were working together to help Frodo because without them, Frodo would be in danger. At the end of the movie, they broke up fellowships so now its Frodo and Sam, Merry and Pippin, Aragorn Legolas and Gimili, and Gandalf. But Boromir was killed by an ork from Mordor. I love the first one the best in The Lord of the Rings Trilogy.

Spirited Away

On September 14, I saw the movie “Spirited Away” in Japanese animations. The scenes that I saw in the movie were when Chihiro goes to the spirit world. She met some people in the spirit world including the boy that turns into a dragon. Also in that movie, no face turns bad if he was in the bathhouse but good when he is away from it. At the end of the movie, her parents are no longer boars anymore and they all go to a new home. That movie was interesting to me because it has fantasies and stories about it. But when I get to class, I might watch some scenes again in Japanese version. On September 24, in class, we were watching the special features from "Spirited Away" called the art story. In that, I saw crews editing the story in US version, the director met a Japanese director that did "Spirited Away" in Japanese version. Also, I saw some actors and actresses that were playing their characters in the movie. I loved that special features but the movie was more interesting than the special features.

Elephant

The movie "Elephant" is a very sad story about 2 mass murderers. It is based on a true story that happened sadly long ago at Columbine High School. The main characters are Alex and Eric the 2 mass murderers. Alex and Eric are two bad high school students who plot to kill people at school because they are picked on all the time. The movie starts off when John McFarland's father was drunk driving and hit one car, which made John late to school. John meets Eric and Alex in the middle of the movie, John tries to tell everybody that Eric and Alex and they tell him to run away because they are detonate a bomb. This did not happen because the bomb did not go off. In real life, on April 1999, Eric David Harris and Dylan Bennet Klebold wanted to kill at the students in High School by using a bomb to destruct the building, but it did not go off, so they went to the room killing all the students, after that, they both commit suicide. The killing took place on April 20, 1999

V for Vendetta

"V for Vendetta" is a thriller. The main character is V, who is a mass murderer. V was burned long ago and because of this, he always wears a mask. V destroyed the Old Bailey in the beginning of the movie and that was on November 5th. The movie is scary because of all the violence. In my opinion, the scariest scene is when V kills some people in the movie with swords. He even killed the ruler of Britain. Another character that is in this movie is Evey. Evey is a teenage girl who lost all her family. In the beginning of the movie, V rescues Evey from being attacked, but she doesn't know him until she finds out who he really is. During the movie, she thinks that V was evil but at the end, they were together and V changes from terrorist to good. At the end of the movie, V dies from the inspector but at the end of the movie, the 1812 overture music was shown while explosions appeared in a building near the ben in England.

High Noon

Will Kane is a hero because he helped save his old hometown by guarding it from 4 bad cowboys. He used his gun and ran off shooting the 4 cowboys. After all 4 cowboys were dead, Will Kane is not a sheriff anymore and gets together with his wife. The quality Will has as a hero is that he is helpful. He helped some townspeople who needed help fighting against the 4 bad cowboys. Will Kane can remind you of your own life, or a movie. For me, it reminds me of "Back to the future part 3." In "Back to the future part 3", it also takes place in the western times. There was fighting with Marty McFly from 1985 and Buford "Mad dog" Tannen who is Biff's great great grandfather in 1885. Buford "Mad dog" Tannen shot Marty but he did not get hurt because he was wearing a bullet proof vest. The scene ends with Marty and Tannen punching each other in the middle of the field. After that, Tannen was arrested. In High Noon, the bad guys were not arrested but killed by Will Kane. He is a hero.

Pay It Forward

Last Sunday, on the 28th of September, I bought the dvd called "Pay it Forward." It was about a Trevor McKinney (Haley Joel Osment) who was trying to make his teacher Eugene Simonet (Kevin Spacey) and his mother Arlene McKinney(Helen Hunt) fall in love with each other. It started off when Trevor brings home a homeless man after school to try help people but in the next morning, his mother was so angry that her son Trevor let a homeless man stay in their house. Arlene went to the school and asked Eugene that bringing home a homeless man was Trevor's homework, and Eugene might have said no. Arlene was really a drunker, she even works at a casino. For days, Eugene and Arlene were in love with each other but the ex-father Ricky was so mean that Arlene didn't want him to stay with them. After Trevor's 12 birthday, he had an interview, a news casting at the school and he said that he wanted to help people. After that, Trevor saw a kid getting beat up by 3 bullies, he tried to save him. But in the middle of the fight, 1 bully stab Trevor with a knife. It was shocking, unhappy, and his life was over. It was a great movie, but an unhappy movie.
