The World is Changing - Liceo Sesto Properzio

The last one I choose is bythe Polish director KrzysztofKieślowski and it’s called AShort Film About Love. It isso real and goes straight tohuman sensitivity. I won’twrite anything else. Justwatch it if you can.What about you? Have yougot such movies, too? Whatare they?posted on Tuesday, November 20th, 2012by Mintarė NORKUTĖ (1996), SPG Šilutė/LithuaniaJanuary 16, 2013 at 5:44 pmHi, your article was very nice! I think that movies influence us a lot, especially young people. And that influenceisn’t always good. For example Twilight Saga: many teenagers, (mostly girls, of course) started to believe thatvampires are real, wanted to become one, once I even found a webpage that gave instructions on how tobecome a vampire. That’s horrible because that’s how young people get involved with dark magic and other badthings. And this is only one example. So, no matter how interesting it was to read about the good movies’influence, I think you also could have written something about bad influence that movies make. My over allopinion is that your article is great, but you could’ve put in something outside your world too.by Agnieszka TWARDOSZ (1995), 8LO Kraków/PolandFebruary 17, 2013 at 9:23 pmThanks a lot. I’m glad you like it. You’re right, I focus on myself, because if I asked somebody else I would haveto write another article! And I wanted to show my private view. Also it’s not completely like you said – moviesdon’t have only favorable influence on me. You were right, we can sometimes forget oneself and start to believein a fiction world. Even when we don’t, we feel disappointed, because the world we’re living in is so much worse.It’s very dangerous when we spent more time in our ideal reality than in this faulty place. But on the other hand,it can be a great escape, when something went wrong or when we have a bad mood. Watching movies is a bigpart of my life and I’m sure not only my. So I it depends on a character, but in my view it would be better todon’t watch Twilight Saga at all.Films which let me become matureby Patrycja PLUTA (1995), 8LO Kraków/PolandI admit that I’m not keen on reading and I know that it is mybad side. However, I’m a big fan of the cinema. I think that aday without a movie, is a wasted day”. The cinema accompaniedthe development of our culture since the beginning of the 20 thcentury. Although we know that this is a brilliant invention, itwas not always so. So, for over 100 years, the comedies madepeople laugh, the romances moved, we were kept in suspense byaction movies. But what really defines a good movie? Is it astory, swift action, interesting dialogues, good camera work,special effects? What do you think? In my opinion, theseelements are important in a good movie, the most important oneis the ability to induce emotions in the viewers after watching themovie, and encourage to some reflection.Below I write 5 movies which have influenced my life and made me think. What is more, they changed in myway of thinking and seeing the world at different stages of my life. Sometimes the reason of changing was a bigdose of inspiration, positive energy, and sometimes just a hint of sadness and feeling moved.For people with strong nerves: The Green Mile.The movie tells us mainly about a black prisoner who was convicted for the murder some sisters. As it later turnsout not to be right. The film has such an impact on the viewer’s emotions that I do not believe that even thethougest macho during the final scene did not shed a tear. The first time I watched this film I was fifteen. Andsome scenes I could not look at. Maybe because I was a very sensitive person. But now I’m stronger. I reallywent through every moment with the main hero. Thanks to this film, I understood that not everything in thisworld is fair. Mainly, it is about the equality amond people. I saw that we mustn’t judge people by their skincolor. So the world should fight with rasizm - I will be. Since I watched this film, I evaluate every situationobjectively.n° 9/2013, page 175
