Goodbye Lenning

Goodbye Lenning is one of the best films directed by Wolfang Becker.
It’s a story that happens in1989. Alex’s mother goes on coma and a few months later she wake up but her health was very delicate. No surprises can be given to her. She doesn’t know that her beloved eastern Germany doesn’t exist anymore.
The real plot is when her friens and neighbours try to hide the real situztion.
I think the acting is excellent, with amazing performances from both Daniel Br{ul and Katrin Sass
Although the original language of the film is in German.
It has been translated in many languages. However, I would recommended this film without thinking twice.

Review of American Beauty

American Beauty, Sam Mendes’s film, is set in The United States of America in the 1999s, and won five Oscars. The film is based on an American family, but especially & the most important character who is the father. The peculiarity of this family is the characters who are involved in: At first, the mother, who is bad-tempered, she is a perfectionist and immaculate woman, obsess to success with her job. Secondly, the teenager girl, character with not much self-esteem and embarrassed with her parents. Thirdly, the father, who has a monotone and boring live; he is & relaxed men fed up with his job, hated by his daughter and his wife and upset with his age.
The film combines humour, drama, suspense, and love. In some occasions the film makes you think about our life with some philosophical details.

To sum up, although the end is unexpected and strange, the film in general is great, the director and the scriptwriter worked well. In addition, the actors are good.
I recommend the film to all the people, especially the people who are fed up with their life and need some changes.

A writing review: Jane Eyre

Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Brontë, published in 1847s. The characters are Jane, the protagonist and the character of the title; she is alone since very small, she is an orphaned. And Rochester who is a love of Jane Eyre she leaves everything for him. Jane Eyre an Autobiography is a history of loves between the sarcastic and, the same time, very attractive Rochester and the young teacher Jane, they are a protagonist. When she is going to contract marriage with him, she discovering that her promised already was married with a rich native that she has driven crazy. After a lot vicissitudes, the history of love knows the end happy.
This book is written in first person, with extensive vocabulary and with great handling the psychology of characters, it is as if say the observation is that within the soul of the author that she found the reality carried to the extreme. This is a book of English romanticism.
I haven’t finish read yet, but it’s very interesting and you aren’t bored when you read this book. Is true that when you start the book is heavy but definitely worth reading.

Tor, thirteen houses and three murders, Carles Porta’s best-selling book, begins when the author, a reporter who works for the program 30 minuts in TV3 is called to cover the murder of Sansa, one of the tyrants of a little village called Tor, placed in Pallars Sobirà.

The book is written in a style which combines the journalism and the narrative. It’s a book which is easy to read in spite of its length. All the time there is an ambience of mystery, which makes the author move from a lawyer’s practice in the Passeig de Gracia of Barcelona, to the singular landscapes of the High Pyrenees.

Once you begin “Tor, thirteen houses and three murders”, you won’t be able to put it down. An unusual real story about mysterious people will trap you.
