WEEKEND ARTS REVIEW: FILMS

A The Class

The Class is about a young teacher who works at a school in a poor area of Paris and his difficult students. The story was originally a book written by Frangois Begaudeau. The film tells the sad story of how a teacher tries to teach his class of teenage students but fails, because the students don’t respect education or teachers, and because they have no desire to learn. Everyone who stars in the film (including Begaudeau, who plays himself) is a non-professional. People expect The Class to be boring because the teacher-student theme has appeared in films many times before, but it isn’t. It is an absolutely brilliant film and no one should miss it.

B Slumdog Millionaire

Director Danny Boyle’s Slumdog Millionaire is the story of Jamal, a poor boy in India, who goes on the TV show ‘Who wants to be a millionaire?’. The story was originally a prize-winning novel by Indian author Vikas Swarup. Jamal wins the TV show. But before he does, they take him to a police station because the police think that he is cheating. While the police ask Jamal questions, we see events from Jamal’s life which explain why he knows the answers.

At one point, the creators of Slumdog Millionaire had decided not to show it in film theatres, and just make it into a DVD. Luckily, they changed their minds, because this film is now an international hit!

C American Teen

American Teen is a documentary film by director Nanette Burstein. Burnstein filmed the lives of five teenagers, who go to a school in Indiana, USA. She followed the students filming their everyday lives for a year, because she wanted to show what it is like to be a teenager in America today.

American Teen is an enjoyable documentary, but sometimes it doesn’t feel true to life. In fact, some film critics think that Burstein gave the teens lines to learn. But in interviews, the teenagers have always said that the film is 100% real-life and no one is acting.

Whether real-life or not, American Teen is an entertaining look at young people today.

WEEKEND ARTS REVIEW: FILMS

A
The Tale of Despereaux

Those
who liked reading Kate DiCamillo’s The Tale of Despereaux will certainly enjoy
the film. It’s about Despereaux, a likeable mouse with big ears who falls in love
with a human princess called Pea. A servant girl, who wants to become the
princess, kidnaps Pea with the help of Roscuro, an evil rat. It is up to
Despereaux to defeat his opponents and rescue Pea. Although it is an American
film, The Tale of Despereaux has an interesting European feel to it. It
features a great cast of voice actors, with Mathew Broderick starring as
Despereaux. It might not do well at the box office, because it is more artistic
than action-packed, but it is sure to be a significant film for true film
lovers.

B
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Indy
is back! After years of waiting, enthusiasts of the adventurous archaeologist
Indiana Jones, once again played by Harrison Ford, can enjoy their favourite character as he’s
off to uncover more mysteries of the ancient world. Everything we expect from an
Indiana Jones film is there: the action, the special effects, the excitement,
and the clever dialogues. Yet, those of us who have been following Indy’s
career since its start will feel like we’ve seen it all before. Predictable or
not, though, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is still an
excellent film for those who enjoy a light-hearted adventure, and it’s also
among this year’s greatest box office hits.

C

The
Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

The
magical world of Narnia is opening its doors one more time. The four Pevensie
children enter the wardrobe once again, this time to help Prince Caspian get
his kingdom back from the villain, the evil King Miraz. Prince Caspian has all
the fascinating elements that made the first film in the series. The Lion, the
Witch and the Wardrobe, a success and continues to entertain the audience with
its intriguing characters. One problem with it, though, is its runtime: parents
might find it challenging to keep their young children still and quiet for
almost two and a half hours!
