    “Beauty and the Beast” Plot Summary

    Belle, whose father Maurice is imprisoned by the Beast (really an enchanted Prince), offers herself instead and finds the prince inside the Beast.

    The most beautiful love story ever told.

    ” The Beauty and The Beast” is one of the greatest stories ever told and one of the best movies from Disney that I watched in my life. I always identified myself with Belle, the girl who does not belong the place where she is lives and also with a big taste of reading lots of books. Our story takes part in France in 18 century, and our main character Belle is the prettiest girl in the city she lives, being the object of the affection and interest of Gaston, an arrogant man that has the sympathy of the people of the region.(And also considered a big catch for the girls of the city)But Belle is not interested in him and always imagined her life different from the domestic life people always imagine for her

    One day, Belle’s father, an inventor, was going to sell one of his inventions and lost his ways, being attacked by wild animals and entering in a big dark mansion apparently without a owner. He stays there for a time, but soon the Beast comes up and attacks him,making him a prisoner in his castle

    Belle stays worried and goes after her father in the mansion and there she sees the violent and awful beast who locked her father. She then makes a deal: Belle agrees to stay in the dark castle with the horrible beast in return to her father’s freedom. But with the time, Belle is going to discover all the magic that is beyond the castle, including the talking objects and even a nice side that the Beast has

    This story is very inspiring and very beautiful! =)

    “Dances with Wolves” Movie Review

    “Dances with Wolves” Plot Summary

    Lt. John Dunbar, exiled to a remote western Civil War outpost, befriends wolves and Indians, making him an intolerable aberration in the military.

    The best film of all time

    Many people regard a lot of films as ‘top class’ but I always keep a little shelf in my mind for the films that I regard as the best films of all time – films that are simply timeless masterpieces. Welcome to the top of that shelf! There are certain criteria by which films are judged and greatness is only obtained when all the criteria are satisfied in full. Dances with Wolves is the greatest timeless masterpiece of cinema to date because it satisfies all these criteria: 1) Cinematography: the sweeping landscape photography of the Frontier combined with the subtle night-time photography earns top marks. Aside from Oscars for Cinematography and editing, it also won the ASC award for Outstanding achievement in Cinematography – as well as a host of other industry recognition awards. In short – the cinematography is breathtaking.2) Sound/Score: the score is one of the best ever written. Again, awards rained from the sky for magical and moving score that combined seamlessly with the film/story.3) Screenplay: The dialogue and plot is magnificent. The film does not fall into the common plot formulas found in other films that attempt to pass themselves off as epics. The story combines as both of celebration of life and a somber rumination of the history of mankind

    There are comical moments, dramatic moments and tear-jerking moments – that all make their entry (and exit) into the story with flawless timing.4) The Acting: for all that has been said about Kevin Costner, this was the peak of his career and he played the role of John Dunbar to perfection. A relatively unknown band of actors gave magnificent, heart-felt and down-to-earth performances in support. It was actually refreshing to see an ‘EPIC’ where the producers didn’t feel the need to throw famous actors in with cameo roles to improve it marketability. As far as I was concerned, there were no weak links in the chain on the acting side of things. Kevin Costner certainly proved his worthiness as a director by getting the best out of the cast.5) The ONLY film in history to…. Have an extended (director’s cut) version that was better than the original. Due to concerns about the length of the film, Dances with Wolves was stripped back to three hours. Some complained that it was still too long, but I thought that the film was patient – it included good relevant detail but managed to keep the story moving at a good pace. The director’s cut added an hour to the cinematic release and was, without a doubt, better than the original. It somehow added more intrigue to the story and included many sobering insights into the destruction of the American Indian race

    Over all, I regard it as the greatest most masterful epic of all time.

    “The Bodyguard” Movie Review

    “The Bodyguard” Plot Summary

    A former Secret Service agent takes on the job of bodyguard to a pop singer, whose lifestyle is most unlike a President’s.

    Great movie

    Has everything. Whitney acts better than Costner, but great story and well made

    Loved the references to Yojimbo

    Good country scenes with the father from the Waltons. The characters rang true

    The jealousy of Rachel’s sister rang true and added another dimension to the movie

    And then there is the music. Incredible. Made the best use of Whitney’s voice. Most movies age, but in 2009 it still felt contemporary.1 point dropped for Costner’s acting. He is wooden in a number of scenes and doesn’t seem to choose the best delivery for each line.
