A civil action film post for english.
Reem Alemam

A Civil Action Review
The movie we watched I thought it was awesome because of how it reflected the people in the movie and etc. I liked where Jan Schilctmann aka John Travolta. Because in the beginning he didn’t care about the water problem and how these kids were dieing and then later on he cared and took risk and what not. But the movie was great I wouldn’t mind watching it again.
The dramatic aspects of the film was were they didn’t win any money and people kept on coming in and taking there stuff away and then later on they had problems with wining and etc. but, Mr. Cheeseman was cracking me up because he was reciting a rule were no one would even look back to it and his rule thing was denied. But, the actors played there part really well. The casting choices were good and actors really dug deep into there scenes they made me believe. The costumes I liked a lot because they looked like really life peoples but, the make-up it didn’t look like they had make-up on expect for the lady.
The Cinematic Aspects: The customs were appropriate they looked like real lawyers or civil people to me. Also, they made me believe the story I was into it all the way. The photography was Low Angle on John Travolta thinking about the father who lost his son on the way to the doctors’ office. Also, Long Shot when the bailiff calls out the case about the water killing these young kids. And Medium shot when explaining the water situation in the court room. The camera movement was ok but, it kind of got on my nerves how the camera went back and forth at the scenes. The duration of the shots was ok. The editing was great. The sound was great I mean I can hear great no messed sounded like other movies I’ve seen but the sound was great.
Well the Civil Action movie/All my sons, they are both sad storied because someone dies and the difference is that one is a play and the other is a movie and etc.
I would recommend that play should see this movie because if someone wanted to become and lawyer and what not should watch this movie and also they should take a few pointer and learn.

Dear Maleeny, Tim:
SO, far in your book it's really dramatic and scary.
But who could blame because your book is called Stealing the dragon:/A cape, it's really interesting where the main character cape weathers keeps having those dreams where he's getting killed by his Enemies and what not. But the part that really where those chinese people where shipped secretly to get from there country to get a better life for there children and for them, but as they were in the boat the crewsmen kept on abusiving and have sexually intercourse with the younger girls and the parents couldn't anything because if they did they would be thrown of the boat and get eaten by the sharks and that wouldn't be a pretty thing. So, as you can see I am at a really dramatic part and i love your book.
Yours Truly Reemieboo...........

THE SEA INSIDE FILM AS LITERATURE REVIEW..
WELL MY OPINION ON THE MOVIE WAS I LIKED IT. SOME OF THE PARTS IF MADE ME LAUGH AND THERE WERE SAD MOMENTS AND WHAT NOT AND I HATED HOW HE WANTED TO DIE WHEN HE COULD HAVE WAITED UNTIL HIS TIME WOULD ARRIVE BUT HE HAD CHOSEN TO DIE BECAUSE HE THIS SICKNESS FOR SOME 28 OR 29 YEARS WOW! HES REALLY SMART AND ANOTHER THING I HATED ABOUT HIM IS HE WAS SO SELFISH IT'S LIKE NON OF HIS FAMILY MEMBERS EXIST IT'S ALWAYS ME,ME,ME.
THE ASPECTS OF THE FILM IS THE CHARACTERS WE GREAT WITH THERE ACTING THEY MADE IT LIKE IT WAS REALISTIC AND WHAT NOT. THE POINT OF VIEW WAS ALSO GOOD.
THE CINEMATIC ASPECTS THE CAMERA MOVEMENT WAS AWESOME HOW THEY MOVES SIDE TO SIDE AND CHARACTER TO CHARACTER.
I WOULD COMPARE SEA INSIDE AND THE DIVING BELL IS THAT JEAN BAUBY AND RAMON THEY WERE BOTH SAME BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T ANYTHINGS FOR THEM SELF'S AND ETC....
I ALSO THINK PEOPLE SHOULD THIS MOVIE BECAUSE I REALLY LIKED AND IF I LIKED THEN I WOULD THINK PEOPLE WOULD LIKE IT.

~Diving Bell and the butterfly weekend homework~
Well, I thought the book was really overall OK, but sad. In beginning of the book he was talking about how his life was so wonderful until this stroke happened to him. And how much he wanted to spend time with his son and correct me if I am wrong but the book was alright there were so many sad parts and more likely disgusting part like when they had to sew his left eye shut because it wasn't working well, like the other eye. I thought that part really grossed me out. Then his he starts to talk about how his life as a rich man was and etc. In this book what I thought was really funny was how he fell in love with the empress. I was thinking to myself how do you fall in love with the empress. But on the hand he was also talking about his girlfriend Florence. I thought she was weird she was telling him where to go and what not. Then towards then, but almost there was chapter called “THE VEGETABLE” and I thought to myself what is this chapter about the vegetable at first I thought it would be weird to call a chapter the vegetable, then I understood what it was about and it was about how he couldn't’t talk, move, hear that well, eat or do anything, and there were rumors going in his office area where he works and people are saying things and half of them are scared to come in and see for them self’s. He tries to act like he can do it. Then towards the end of the book he talks about well he kind of wraps it up with what really happened with the stroke he kind of told us how his day was supposed to be without the stroke happening. And I kind of got confused with it , but I thought the book was awesome because it was like him blinding the letter out that is so cool…………

HEY THIS IS MY POST A
SO FAR, IN MY BOOK THAT I AM READING SOUL ON ICE IS REALLY GETTING TO THE INTERESTING PARTS AND NOW HE'S WRITING A NOTE TO HIM SELF TALKING ABOUT HOW MUCH HE LOVES HIS LAWYER AND HOW THEY ARE ALWAYS ON THE SAME SIDE. AND HOW HIS LAWYER SAYS THAT HE DOESN'T LOVE HER IT JUST LUST AND GRATITUDE. AND HE'S ALWAYS LIKE NO NO I LOVE YOU. AND HE TALKS ABOUT HOW HE TALKS TO HER IN HIS SLEEP WITH LONG DIALOUGES.HE ALSO DREAMS ABOUT HER WHEN HE'S SLEEPING AND HE SAYS HE SLEEPS REALLY DEEPLY WHEN HE THINKS ABOUT HER.SO I THOUGHT THAT WAS INTERESTING AND KIND OF FUNNY IF YOU LOOK AT IT THAT WAY.

Dear Eldridge Cleaver,
The first time I started to read your book on the first and my thought was "OH MY GOD IS THIS BOOK GOING TO BE BORING UNTIL THE LAST PAGE".
Then, i thought to myself just give it a try. So, as i was reading a couple of pages in the book i found it to be really interesting and my favorite part would be how they were treating you in jail. My questions would be why did they do that in the 20th century? Did they get a kick out of it? Why did they rip that picture of yours that was on the wall? How come they shot that young man that was talking to that white lady? So, as you can see this book is so far reaching the stats on dicrimnation.
