Billy Elliot

This is a UK film about a young boy, Billy, wanting to be a ballet dancer but his father and older brother don't approve of it. This is a cliche story about doing what your parents want you to do and doing what you want to do. The movie was pretty funny but i wouldn't recommend watching to anyone. Unless your into girly dancing movies.

Somethings that were different about America and UK from what we seen in the movie is the way there neighborhoods are structured. In the movie the neighborhood is kind of like a maze, it is really tight together and it seems like there are houses on houses on houses. I think it looked really cool. Everyone in the movie seemed to be poor and everyone was on strike from mining.

After Billy's father finds out that he is dancing he gets really angered and tells Billy that he can no longer dance. When billy's father sees that he is actually good at dancing then he approves of Billy and lets him go to a dancing school. He even gives up on his strike to afford it.

The movie shows that the family is really close because at the end the brother accepts what Billy does and goes and watches his Black Swan play.

Little Otik

Little Otik is a highly disturbing movie about a couple, Bozena and Karel, that want to have a baby but because of infertile bodies they are unable to. Desperate for a baby Karel makes a baby out of chopped wood and Bozena starts to think that the baby is real and becomes obsessed with it. Some how the baby then comes to life and it is obsessed with eating to the point where the baby goes on numerous killing sprees.

This movie is very awkward and weird, i personally wouldn't recommend anyone going to see it. This is a Czech film that is a spin off of a fairy tale. In the movie they have very disturbing eating scenes and most of the food is soupy and gross looking. There is a little girl in the movie named Alzbetka. Her family eats dinner a lot in the movie and they eat very sloppy and the sounds of them eating are also really gross.

The baby, Otik, is also really creepy. It's always moving at rapid speed and wiggles it's arms and legs a lot and realistically a baby does not move that much or like that in anyway. The baby also looks really creepy and whenever it moves it looks really fake. When it opens it's mouth it have play-d'oh looking teeth. It has a really creepy laugh and it laughs a lot.

I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone because it's just to weird for my taste. It's apparently it's a comedy and a horror movie when it's neither of them to me. It's just highly disturbing and uninteresting.

Little Miss Sunshine

Little Miss Sunshine is about a family that includes a full of himself dad, supporting mother, crazy grandfather, mute brother, suicidal uncle and a daughter with big dreams of winning a little miss sunshine beauty pageant. The family finds out that their daughter, Olive, got accepted into a little miss sunshine pageant after another girl dropped out. The family is low on money so they take a road trip in there VW bus. They run into a lot of problems on the way to get to the pageant like having there door fall off of the car and having to push it also the death of the grandfather.

I think that most Amerasians can relate to a lot of the problems in the movie. Some of the things in the movie that i can relate to is the son, Dwayne, not liking his family and doing his own thing. (so it seems) He is very annoyed with his mom and dad and he thinks that it's funny when his parent fight over issues like money and whatnot. i think most teenagers can relate to him in that sense. The Grandpa swears constantly and hes always screaming about something. I can relate to that because i have a grandpa who is also is really crazy and he yells and swears a lot also.

I have a little brother who also wants to be something, normally a different sports player. He is similar to Olive because all he does is wants to be a famous sports player to whatever sport he is playing at the time like Olive. The father is similar to my second oldest brother because he is completely full of himself and so is the dad. I think a lot of people can relate to Frank not getting the person he loves and losing that person to someone else. Some people don't go to the extreme level that he did but it's still relate able.

I think that this movie was really funny and it's one of my favorites. It's a good movie for all ages besides the swearing and i think most people would like it. It doesn't have any boring parts and it's really relate able to most people. The movie is really real and it has situations that many families face, maybe not having your daughter dancing to super freak but most of the situations in the movie. I would recommend it to anyone.
