Shakespeare in Love
Directed byJohn Madden
Written byMarc NormanTom Stoppard
Running time123 min.
Shakespeare in Love is a 1998 romantic comedy/drama film. The film was directed by John Madden and written by Marc Norman and playwright Tom Stoppard. Stoppard's first major success was with the Shakespeare-influenced play Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead.The film is largely fictional, although several of the characters are based on real people. In addition, many of the characters, lines, and plot devices are references to Shakespeare's plays. Shakespeare in Love won a number of Academy Awards in 1999, including Best Picture, Best Actress (for Gwyneth Paltrow) and Best Supporting Actress (for Judi Dench). It was the first comedy to win the Best Picture award since Annie Hall (1977).
synopsis:
The film centres around the forbidden love of William Shakespeare (Joseph Fiennes) and Viola de Lesseps (Gwyneth Paltrow), the daughter of a wealthy (= rich)merchant.As the film begins, theatre manager Philip Henslowe (Geoffrey Rush) finds himself in debt to loan shark ( un prêteur à gage)Hugh Fennyman (Tom Wilkinson). Henslowe offers Fennyman a partnership in the upcoming production of Shakespeare's newest comedy, Romeo and Ethel, The Pirate's Daughter promising that it will be a hit. This play will later be renamed Romeo and Juliet and be reworked into a tragedy (but with some comical undertones with a few characters, like the Nurse).Will Shakespeare is suffering from writer's block ( le syndrome de la page blanche) and has not completed the play, but begins auditions for Romeo. A boy named Thomas Kent is cast in the role after impressing Shakespeare with his performance and his love of Shakespeare's previous work. Unknown to Shakespeare and the rest of the theatre company, Kent is young Viola de Lesseps, whose dream is to act, but as women are barred from ( ne sont pas autorisées à jouer sur scène) the stage, she must disguise herself as a young man in order to fulfil her dream.After Shakespeare discovers his star's true identity, he and Viola begin a passionate secret affair. There are strong parallels between the pair's romance and the romance in Romeo and Juliet, including the ballroom scene from Act 2 and the balcony scene immediately following it. The element of forbidden love forms the basis of Shakespeare's inspiration, and many of their conversations later show up as some of the most famous quotes in the play.Inspired by Viola, Shakespeare begins writing feverishly ( avec fièvre). His work in progress also benefits from the off-hand advice of playwright and friendly rival Christopher Marlowe (Rupert Everett). Yet Shakespeare and de Lesseps know that their romance is doomed ( vouée à l'échec). Shakespeare is married, albeit long separated from his wife, and Viola’s parents would never permit her to marry a commoner ( qn qui n'est pas noble)such as Shakespeare. In fact, Viola's father has privately arranged a betrothal ( fiancailles) for her to Lord Wessex (Colin Firth).Viola is called to the court of Queen Elizabeth I (Judi Dench), and Shakespeare dons a woman's disguise to accompany her. At court, Shakespeare manages to ( arrive à) goad ( pousser à)Wessex into betting fifty pounds that a play cannot capture the nature of true love. If Romeo and Juliet is a success, Shakespeare as playwright will win the money. The Queen, who enjoys Shakespeare's plays, agrees to be a witness (témoin) to the wager (pari). The true purpose of the meeting is revealed when Wessex announces his intent to marry Viola.The Master of the Revels,( le maitre des cérémonies) the Queen's official in charge of the theatres, learns that there is a woman in the theatre company at the Rose playhouse. He orders the theatre closed for this violation of morality and the law. Left without a stage or lead actor, it seems that Romeo and Juliet must close before it even opens. Shakespeare is offered one last chance by the owner of a competing theatre, the Curtain, who offers his theatre to Shakespeare. Shakespeare will take the role of Romeo himself, with a boy actor playing Juliet.Viola learns that the play will be performed on the day of her wedding ( mariage). After the ceremony, Viola's loyal nurse (Imelda Staunton) helps her slip away to the theatre. In a final twist ( retournement), shortly before the play begins, the boy playing Juliet starts experiencing the voice change of puberty. Viola takes the stage to replace him and plays Juliet to Shakespeare's Romeo. Their passionate portrayal of two lovers inspires the entire audience.Mr. Tilney, the Master of the Revels, arrives at the theatre with Wessex, who has deduced his new bride's whereabouts. Tilney invokes the name of the Queen to arrest all there for indecency. Suddenly, Elizabeth I's voice rings out from the back of the theatre: "Have a care with my name Mr. Tilney - you will wear it out!" The Queen had decided to attend the play in disguise, and says that she will handle ( s'occuper de) this matter herself. Although she recognizes Viola in her guise as Thomas Kent, the Queen does not unmask Viola, instead declaring that the role of Juliet is being performed by the boy Thomas Kent.However, even a Queen is powerless to break a lawful marriage. Queen Elizabeth orders "Thomas Kent" to fetch Viola so that she may sail to America. She also states that Romeo and Juliet has accurately portrayed true love and so Wessex is forced to pay Shakespeare the fifty pounds, the exact amount Shakespeare requires to buy a share in the Chamberlain's Men ( companie de théâtre). The Queen then directs "Kent" to tell Shakespeare to write something "a little more cheerful next time, for Twelfth Night"( Christmas time).Viola and Shakespeare part ( se séparent), never to meet again: she must accompany Wessex to a colonial settlement (colonie) in Virginia. Shakespeare immortalizes her by making the main character of his new play, Twelfth Night, Or What You Will, a strong young woman named Viola who disguises herself as a boy. The final image of the film has Viola walking away down a beach, with a voiceover ( voix off) by Shakespeare discussing his plans to write Twelfth Night and musing of its main character, "For she will be my heroine for all time, and her name will be... Viola."
Historical accuracy:
The film makes no pretence at historical accuracy. For example, the basis of Romeo and Juliet was a poem and not one of Shakespeare's romances.The film features many comic anachronisms: a psychotherapist; a mug ( un grande tasse) marked "A present from Stratford-on-Avon"; Shakespeare leaping into a ferry and saying "Follow that boat!"; Queen Elizabeth I remarking "Have a care with my name or you will wear it out"; and Shakespeare anticipating the phrase "The show must go on!"
The characters of Ralph Bashford, James Hemmings, Edward Pope, Sam Gosse, James Armitage, Viola de Lesseps, Robert de Lesseps (Nicholas Le Prevost), Lady de Lesseps (Jill Baker), Hugh Fennyman, and Lord Wessex did not exist.
The characters of Philip Henslowe, Richard Burbage, Ned Alleyn, Will Kempe, Edmund Tilney, Augustine Philips, John Hemmings (spelled in real life as "John Heminges"), George Bryan, Christopher Marlowe, and John Webster did exist, but their actions in the film are fictitious.
There were neither tobacco plantations nor English colonies in America in the 1590s
Marla Olmstead's questions
4. They shot this trailer to a movie called "My kid could do it" released in 2007 about Marla's talent. In this trailer we can see footage of marla painting, interviews of her family, relatives, and art critics about the precocious little girl. We can also see articles of some newspapers which question the authenticity of Marla's paintings and gift .
5. The art critics question the fact that Marla paints all these paintings at her age. Some think that it is another person who may paint them, others think her parents force her to do this and others think she has got no talent.

Bastien's review on "Die hard 4"
Live Free or Die Hard, ("Die hard 4" or "retour en enfer" in French), is a 2007 action film, and it's the fourth film in the Die Hard series. The film was directed by Len Wiseman and the screenplay was written by Mark Bomback.
Starring : Bruce Willis as John McClane (the protagonist of the first three films), Justin Long, Timothy Olyphant, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, and Maggie Q.
The film was based on the 1997 article "A Farewell to Arms" written for Wired magazine by John Carlin.The film's North American release date was June 27, 2007.(July 4, 2007 in France).The running time is 2 hours and 10 minutes.
The story takes place in New York City where a gang of cyber terrorists is determined to bring down the entire infrastructure of the United States on Independence Day, sending the country into anarchy and chaos. McClane and Matt Farrell,a talented computer hacker and ex-NSA (National Security Agency) agent have to stop the cyber terrorists aimed by Gabriel.
To my mind it is an amazing and brilliant movie because there are many beautiful stunts and fascinating special effects.The film is funny too because McClane and Matt Farrell are completely opposed ! However, the weak point is that there is not enough female presence.
I recommend this film because it's really amazing to watch.It is full of actions and it's very attractive !

Walkyrie
Walkyrie is an action movie created in 2008 ,was released in 28/01/2009 and was directed by bryan Singer.The running time is 1 hour and 50 minutes
Starring:Tom cruise,Carice Van houten,Bill Nighy
Walkyrie is movie which speaks about World War II with rebels who try make Hitler fall to find peace worldwide. The scene takes place in Berlin in 1942 with Claus von Stauffenberg who tries to kill Hitler. We can see the explosion and we think what Hitler is dead but the bomb does not touch him.
The stong points: This movie pays tribute to German resistance . People know what some Germans did not agree with Hitler's dictatorship . Even if we know the end, it is an attractive movie which is funny too.
The weak points: It is not very realistic and the actor playing Hitler does not look like him.
I think people should go to see this movie because it speaks about our history and it is interesting to know that some Germans wanted Hitler to fall. People who took part in Operation Walkyrie were killed or arrested.

Marla Olmstead questions by Floriane
4. Why did they shoot this trailer?
They shot this trailer because they wanted to show Marla painting , and it makes us more eager to watch or to buy her paintings because being very young she has more merit. Journalists believed that Marla did not paint those works while we are now sure she is the one who painted them.

4°) They shot this trailer because they wanted to show Marla’s paintings, interviews of Marla and her parents as well as some experts. To know if Marla was obliged to paint by her parents or if it was really Marla the painter. She is five years old and she is talented and famous so that raises questions. So they wanted show footage of Marla painting
5°) The art critics question Marla's talent , they think that could be a “ fraud ”, because she is only 4 years old.

MARLA OLMSTEAD’S QUESTIONS. (Paula)
QU 4. They shot this trailer because the media thought Marla's parents could have obliged her to paint those paintings to make money.
In the video, there are many newpapers articles with such tagline as: “ Inspiration or manipulation?” or “Could be a fraud?”
These titles prove that the media thought Marla was manipulated by her parents.
This video insists on ????(incomprehensible) to“shock”.
QU 5. Art critics think that was not Marla painting. the media said “FRAUD”. That is why they filmed her while painting.. So, it's not a fraud, marla is INSPIRED, not MANIPULATED.

(William)Questions 4 et 5 Marla Olmstead
4. Why did they shoot this trailer? 5. What did the art critics question?
4.They shot this trailer because they wanted to show paintings about Marla and to show the Marla's ability because she paints so memorable works and she is very young to paint.She is compared to Jason Pollock.They shot this trailer too to prove that Marla is very talented .In the trailer her parents criticize the good and bad sides of this talent ...
5.The art critics want to criticise Marla's young age for painting such breathless drawings and the different types of award she won.Her parents'protective side and Marla's emotional way of painting was enough to captivate our eyes.
benjamin's review on "300"
Director: Zack Snyder
Starring: Gérard Butler, Lena Headey and Rodrigo Santoro
released in: 2006
runtime: 2h00
rating: forbidden under 12
Genre: adventure
The movie tells the story of a war opposing the Spartian's and the Persian's armies in 2000 before Christ.
To my mind the movie is brilliant, colourful and innovative because each picture has been remastered and because I really enjoyed the fascinating special effects.
However, the weak point is that it is not made for a large audience .
I recommend this movie because it mixes action and love. Moreover it is inspired by a true story. Finally, the soundtrack is really impressive. Awesome!!

LOL (laughing out loud ) by Morgane
LOL (Laughing out loud) is a comedy-family movie. It is directed by Lisa Azuelos and was released in february 2009. This film stars Sophie Marceau, Christia Theret, Alexandre Astier and Jérémy Kapone.
The Plot is set in Paris. Lola (Christia Theret), who is called Lol by her best friends Charlotte, Stephane and Maël (Jérémy Kapone) goes to high-school now, she is 15. Her boyfriend, Arthur ( Felix Moati), has misled her this summer, so Lol does not really want to laugh. Fortunatly, there are her friends and Maël. But her mother, Anne (Sophie Marceau) does not understand her daugther and she believes Lola is still a child.
To my mind, this movie is awesome and very funny. The main character, Lola is moving. The story is really vivid and enjoyable. The relations between all the teenagers and their parents, especially between Lola and her mother, are upbeat, emotional and a little hard, but realistic. Lola's mother can not understand her daugther because she wants Lola to remain a nice child as she used to be. What's more Anne's life is thrilling too, because she imagines Lola is a very nice teenager ( no smoking, no alcool, and no boys ... ), but her daugther knows all her mother tries to hide, as she sees again her ex, Lola's father, Alain (Alexandre Astier).
However, the life of teenagers is a little caricatured and they are from rich families. What's more, this film could scare some parents, because teenagers smoke, drink and so on.

Twilight's review by Jessica
Twilight is a love-fantasy film, directed by Catherine Hardwicke, and released in Novembre 21, 2008 starring Kristen Stewart (who plays Isabella Swan) and Robert Pattinson (who plays Edward Cullen). It was inspired by a book called Twilight too, written by Stephenie Meyer. This film can be seen by everyone.
The story takes place in Forks, Washington. Bella, a teenager who has just moved to Forks, meets Edward Cullen. She discovers that he and his family are vampires but they drink animal blood rather than human. They fall in love but bad vampires want to kill Bella.
To my mind, the story is engrossing because the love story is quite unique and so moving. I particularly enjoyed it because their love seems doomed : Edward is a vampire and Bella is a simple human. Yet, their love is so strong that they will be able to stay together.
What's more, there is a lot of suspense when James (one of the bad vampires) wants to kill Bella.
One of the scenes I like the most is when the Cullen family plays baseball, just before the bad vampires arrive.
I'm fond of the film music : "Supermassive Black Hole" of Muse, "Leave Out All the Rest" of Linkin Park, "Decode" of Paramore...
There are awesome special effects when Edward runs very fast or when he climbs up on trees.
However, I read the book and I prefer it because we can better understand Bella's feelings and thoughts, so the film is not as vibrant as the book. And the film is a little too long sometimes.
I recommend this film because there's a beautiful love story and action too so a large audience could enjoy it.

Review of Twilight
- The film " Twilight " was directed by Catherine Hardwicke , the screenplay was written by Stephanie Meyer who is a famous author . The film stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattison who play the protagonists Isabella Swan and Edward Cullen . The runtime is 120 minutes . Everybody can watch this movie , there are no parental restrictions . This film was released on November 21 th , 2008 .
- It deals with the adventures of Isabella Swan , a teenager who moves to Forks , Washington DC where she meets a mysterious boy named Edward Cullen and falls in love with him . She then learns that he is a member of a vampire family whose members drink animal blood rather than human . The problems begin when she meets three other mean vampires who want to kill her .
- The film's strong points are the moment where they play baseball in the woods and there is a terrible storm as well as the moment when they kiss for the first time .
- The weak points are, according to me, the beginning which lasts 30 minutes , because nothing happens and the irritating fact that they never kiss although they are together all the time .
- I recommend this film because the love story between Bella and Edward is very romantic and moving and the acting is engrossing . I like the soundtract a lot , which is very rock and unique . Moreover the story is unusual and the scenery is very emotional and beautiful .
"Volt" review
Director:Clark Spenor
Screenplay: Chris Sanders
The film lasts 1 hour 38 mns
It is an animation, family film
The movie was released on February, the 4th 2009
For the dog Volt, star to a TV series, every day is an adventure, in front of cameras which is not the case anymore when he escapes by mistake from Hollywood studios in the streets of New York. he experiences an exciting adventure in the real world. he is accompanied in his adventures by a cat,Mittens and a hamster, Rhino.
To my mind this movie is exciting, unique, funny, and enjoyable for the whole family. The animations are vivid and vibrant. But I think this movie is targeted more for adults than children, because I do not think every child understands the plot.
I recommend the film because it is an awesome movie, funny and entertaining. It will please the whole family.

David's review about "Rasta Rocket"
Rasta Rocket is a comedy directed by Jon Turtleaub starring John Candy (the coatch) which lasts 98 minutes. It was released in 1993, on October the 1st.
The plot is inspired by a real story: four Jamaïcans composed the first Jamaïcan bobsleigh team and went to Calgary (Canada) to be a part of the 1988 winter Olympic Games.
The plot is inspired by a real story: four Jamaïcans composed the first Jamaïcan bobsleigh team and went to Calgary (Canada) to be a part of the 1988 winter Olympic Games.
I really liked this movie because there are a lot of funny sequences and the acting is amazing. Denice, Junior and Sanka (3 characters of the bobsleigh team) are exhilirating. On the other hand, the film is moving because it shows the kind of racism black people are victims of (the German team does not like Jamaïcans and always criticises them).At the end of the film, I was breathless.
For me, this movie does not have weak points at all. I recommend to people who do not know Rasta Rocket to see it because it is both vivid and funny.

how high review (bastien france)
- How High is a comedy realised in 2001. the director is Jess Dylan and the characters are Silas (method man) ,Jamal (redman), Ivory (chuck davis) .
- The plot is interesting because Silas and Jamal have a test and if they get good marks they can go to Harvard.
- The strong points are the characters' humour and their fighting spirit.
- For me there are not weak points because the film is just for fun.
- This film is very amazing and humourous. If you want to have fun you can see this film because during the whole film the characters are funny and they are no typical Harvard students .the film exposes the issue of young black boys going to a rich white kids' school or university.

Nos Jours Heureux is a comedy directed by Eric Toledano and Olivier Nakache released in 2006 starring Jean Paul Rouve , Marilou Berry , Omar Sy , Jean Benguigui . The story takes place in the countryside . The story is funny because the children are about ten years old and they are very young and they make loads of stupid things such as smoking . The children are away at a 3-week summer camp with a lot of supervisors , who cannot always check on them or stop them from doing mischief .
I like this film because it is very funny and instructive . This movie reflects reality of the life of young kids nowadays .
However I did not love this film too much because it gives wrong ideas to children .
I think this film is amusing although the children smoke during the movie .

Gran Torino by Floriane
The film was directed by Clint Eastwood, it was released on February 25 2009, starring Clint Eastwood, Bee Vang and Ahner Her. The film lasts 155 minutes. It is an American film, a drama and a thriller.
Walt Kowalski has just buried his wife. He is surprised when Thao, his young neighbour, tries to steal his collection car, a Gran Torino . A few days later, while members of a small gang headed by Thao's cousin tries to assault Thao, the retired Ford factory worker brings his gun out and scares the thugs. Many Asian families in the neighborhood come to thank him with gifts. The veteran of the Korean War and racist Walt rejects these oaths of friendship, but Sue, Thao's sister insists. She even ends up convincing him to accept the young man's help to pay his debt to him. A friendship gradually grows between the two men.
In my opinion the story is great and moving because the story
does not end badly for Walt Kowalski.
I recommend this movie to everyone because it is a film with a lot of humanity and the character played by Clint Eastwood is very endearing.

But there are a lot of problems because of Paro's family and class.So Paro's mother wants to marry Paro with another wealthy man .So Paro is married off to a widower with children and Devdas becomes mad and wants to commit suicide because he loves Paro.He then spends his life drinking a lot that's why he eventually dies.
*As for me, the story is interesting and emotional, especially in the end because the pictures have been remastered and there are dramatic actions. What's more, there is a lot of Indian music and dance which is typical of a Bollywood film.The story is charmful but I thought it would have another end .The story powerfully depicts the prevailing societal customs in Bengal in the early 1900s, which are largely responsible for preventing the happy ending of a guenuine love story.
I also like the Indian costumes which are very original and colourful.

Review :
_The Comedian has been murdered and his friends want revenge. This is the main plot of this movie, but the audience discovers many other things... As a result, Watchmen is a mysterious and complex movie . It mixes complot, Cold war's atmosphere, manipulation : History and fiction...
Strong points:
_ The film is long but the spectators are not bored. There are lots of action, humour, but sorrow and love too.
_ It is not a simple movie of Superheroes, every Watchman has great powers so this movie is not for children.
_ The graphic style is engrossing because Watchmen has been adapted from a comic book.
Weak points :
_ Many people don't like superheroes' movie.
I recommend this film because, it is a change from the idea of "the good superhero ".

strong points: It is a moving film, which captures the beautiful voices of both Beyonce and Jennifer.Moreover Effie's story is quite sad however she subsequently finds a way with her talent. All those who love singing will enjoy this film.
weak points: For those who do not like songs, some pieces of music are sometimes relatively long-lasting.
As a conclusion, I would say that I recommend this film to all those who have a dream to achieve such as the Dreamettes'.

Sandy's film : COCO
COCO
Director: Gad Elmaleh
Genre: comedy
Starring: Gad Elmaleh, Pascale Arbillot, Manu Payet
Runtime: 1:35
Country: France
FR release: 18 March 2009
The plot:
A very rich Jewish man wants to organize a big Bar-mitz'va for his son. He invites many people, he wants everything to be perfect but his family does not agree with him, they do not want a big party, they prefer a family party. The man finally realises one does not need much money to be happy.
Strong and weak points:
The strong points of this film is the end because we like knowing what is going to happen after. However the end is also emotionnal and beautiful.
The weak points of this film are :
-the plot which is unusual
-the characters which are awesome and enjoyable
-the oriental score which is vivid and goes well with the film
My opinion:
I recommend this film because it is amazing. There is humour, and the scenes which are quite moving are very engrossing. The scenery is very beautiful. As for me this film is memorable. The story is exceptional because I think such a man as the main character does not exist. Yet Gad Elmaleh, the star and director, is phenomenal! The film makes the audience reflect about the importance of his family's love and shows that money is not the most important thing in the world.

Review of SICKO
SICKO is a documentary film directed by Michael Moore released in 2007 which lasts 2 hours.
In this movie, Michael Moore criticizes the health care system of the United States of America, comparing it to other countries as Canada, the United Kingdom, France and Cuba. It shows that the American health care system is unacceptable and that only a minority have access to it, that is to say rich people. Moreover sometimes there is racism towards ethnic minorities. For example a black man dies because they didn't accept him in a hospital in part because of his colour of skin.
In the movie we can see Michael Moore interviewing and filming the people who helped after the terrorist attacks on 9/11, and others who have difficulties living in good conditions because of the health care system problems. In the other countries he goes to, he interviews people about the health care system of the country where they live, such as Americans living in Paris. He ends his travel in Cuba where he invited all the people with health problems to seek treatments in Cuban hospitals. We can also see an interview of Che Guevara's daughter.
I particulary enjoyed this movie because Moore has a lot of humour and it is very interesting because it deals with a part of American Politics. He has a lot of courage too because he provockes the authorities , for instance in Guantanamo where the prisoners receive a better health care , and George W. Bush's administration. I appreciated the fact that he helps all these Americans experiencing difficulties .
I recommend this film to the people who are interested in political issue worldwide and those who fight against injustice in the world. It obliges us to think about people's living conditions all around the world.

It has just been released in France, it is a comedy.
It is the story of a man whose name is coco , he is a young millionaire who has (won) received the legion d' honeur- a French medal. He wants to throw the best party for his son.
For him , Money is not a problem but his life is not very easy!
The storry takes place in 2009.
In my opinion , The story is comic but not very exiting and engrossing...
The main character is a unique actor but his film is not funny !
What 's more , it is a comic film so there are not many special effects.
The strong point is that it was realised for a large public but I wouldn't recommend this film because it is not a louthing comedy...

WATERWORLD REVIEWS
MOVIE : WATERWORLD .
The movies's genre is Fantasy, Action, Sciences Fictions, Thriller.
The persons who has wrote this movie was Peter Rader and David Twohy.
The director was Kevin Reynorlds.
This movie was realised the 25 October 1995
STARING : Kevin Costner, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Dennis Hooper, Tina Majorino.
RUNTIME : 136 minutes.
Nominated for Oscar. Another 4 wins & 6 nominations.
PLOT :The story takes place in the future, the polar ice caps (les calottes glacières) have melted (ont fondu) and most of the Earth (Terre) is underwater (sous l’eau). A mutated sailor (un marin mutant) fights starvation (en manque de nourriture) and outlaw (hors la loi) "smokers," and reluctantly (à contre-coeur) helps a woman and a young girl find Island, which is not buried (ensevelie).
MY OPINION : I’ve very enjoy this movie. Waterworld is an engrossing film, wich us feeling many emotions, with a little fun, which help to relax, because the movie is a little heavy (pesant). On of the tree mains characters is a child in danger and who hide a difficult secret. So, the movie is more important and touching. We discover our world, if we continue to destroy our planet. (That is (c’est-à-dire) if the pollution grow up again and again.) It's a film really fantastic, I recommend it, because it’s a very brilliant and touching movie.
