Today films!!

Today I’m going to talk about 2 films that I recently watched, Burn after Reading and The Constant Gardener.


This last weekend I went to the cinema in order to watch the new film of Coen brothers. Please, don’t go to watch it, it’s terrible!!! I read that the script has an intelligent humour, somewhere, and I know it sounds strong to tell it, but for me, it has a fool humour. Well, maybe, while you’re reading this you’re thinking that I have a very special sense of humour, and it’s true perhaps, but only very few people laughed during the film! Well, actually, it takes all sorts, I suppose.


Nevertheless, The Constant Gardener, everything is praise. I liked the story of denunciation against governments, public organizations, and pharmaceutical industries regarding African people. While I was watching the film, I thought, one more time, how corrupt the world is. We live our lives without knowing what the governments are doing in order to protect us. They just want their own advantage!! They don’t care to kill hundreds or maybe, thousands of Africans whereas they become richer every day, whereas they take one’s share. They are able to infect ALL THE WORLD to sell the cure. And I don’t forget to mention that you can’t trust your friends, colleagues... so you should be careful.

See you!!

More people said that "The constant gardener" is a good film, a different film, so I'm going to follow your advice and I am going to watch it.

I have not seen the Coen's brothers film but I have seen the "Constant Gardener" and I found it excellent too. However, it is a very depressing film. I left the cinema feeling so powerless...

Pay attention to my language comments:

-Today I’m GOING TO talk about 2 films (DO NOT USE COLLOQUIAL EXPRESSIONS IN FORMAL TEXTS)
-I read THAT (0)somewhere(WO),
-how (0) corrupt the world is.
-I liked the story of denunciation against governmentS, public organizations, and pharmaceutical industrIES regarding African people.
-We live our LIVES (IRREGULAR PLURAL) without knowING what THE governmentS are doing with the purpose of protectING us. (NOT A VERY CLEAR SENTENCE, THE LAST ONE.)
-They just want their OWN ADVANTAGE!!

Yes, I should say something but I feel so overwhelmed and still in pain that I cannot think clearly but I hope to post some thoughts during the day...
Thanks, anyway!
