Leonardo DiCaprio in his latest ceremony Oscar

DICAPRIO'S BIG NIGHT WILL HE WIN THIS TIME? Tomorrow at 9 o’clock, a lot of people will be looking at the most important cinema ceremony in the whole world, the Academy Award, the Oscars. All people expect a magic night with many surprises. The place decided to make this important event is Dolby Theatre and where it will be hosted by the famous actor Chris Rock.

But what is the main question that all people have in their mind? Will be the big night of Leonardo DiCaprio? Will he win an Oscar? In fact, Leonardo has been near three times to win an Oscar. The latest, in 2012 with Django, he almost got it, but in the end he couldn’t achieve it. However, the press and moviegoers believe that he should win it this time. Not just for his acting in The Revenant, which is brilliant. Another 5

important thing to add is his trajectory.

He didn’t show up in cinema world one day due to good luck or coincidence.

He has worked very hard since he started and he played part of amazing films such as Titanic or The Departed for example. Leonardo has always been on the top, and it isn’t an easy thing to always be nominated to win an Oscar.

In “The Revenant” Leonardo doesn’t say more than three hundred words in all the movie, but his face expressions are incredible. He speaks with us in reference at the possibility to win it the Oscar “I don’t care. People think that is too important for me and I’m sorry but this is false. For me it is more important that people love my job and my movies, winning an Oscar is just an extra point.”

The lineup of the ceremony is in this link(www.oscar.com). There are less hours to know everything about the big night. Maybe is DiCaprio's night or maybe not. We will see it in a few hours.

STAR WARS BACK. THE FORCE AWAKENS

respects quite well the main characters of the saga, Abrahams just continues the story and does not invent a new one, and this is a good thing for the fanatics of Starwars because they can see again their heroes, like Luke Skywalker or Han Solo.

Is a fact that Star wars has come returned with a new film The force awakens. Directed by the famous director ,J.J Abrahams who along with Lawrence Kasdan joined to make the movie.

Well there are some very clear question about this film. Has this movie satisfied the expectations of the audience? All people that are Star wars fans , should know that this movie is surely the most expected film ever. J.J Abrahams has had a very difficult challenge due to all the pressure, making happy fanatic fans of star wars it's a very hard stuff to do. However, he did it.

We could say that the film critics have been kind to him. Because most of them say that the movie revives the history and the feelings of the old movies. Also J.J Abrahams

But not everything is good news, he has received bad critics as well . Some critics mentioned that the antagonist who is played part by Adam Driver , is too weak, he does not portray the fear that is worthy of Sirth from the dark side. And this is a bad point, because the last sirth was Darthvader who is very difficult to replace due his importance in the saga. v Even so there are two more films to continue Force awakens saga and we wait and anticipate what else JJ Abrahams wants to show us. We wait, because is Star Wars, and don't care if not is the best film ever, we will love it forever

OSCARS 2016 INSIDE OUT WINS BEST ANIMATED FEATURE

By Alba Fernรกndez

7

“Inside Out” met with the expectations and won the Oscar for best animated feature above their others rivals.

The human emotions that are shown in the movie inside the head of a teenager have got to shock to the Academy that gives the awards and has decided to give it to “Inside Out”. This movie directed by Pete Docter and Ronnie del Carmen has been a blockbuster. Pixar has won about 857 million dolars in box office worldwide, which converts the movie into one of the fifty films most famous in history.

The movie explains the emotions of joy, sadness, fear, disgust and fury that are inside the head of Riley and they try to live in the girl’s brain with a lot of magic balls that contain the memories of all her life.

It is a film where the originality and creativity are very present and where after five years of work they have managed to make a very good work. The success of “Inside Out” left at the gates of the Oscar “Boy and The World”, another fantastic animate feature.

THE FAULT IN OUR STARS

ROMANCE · DRAMA · ROMANTIC DRAMA DISEASE · ADOLESCENCE

The Fault in Our Stars is the sixth novel by author John Green.

In January 2012 20th Century Fox decides to adapt the novel into a film. Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber wrote the adapted screenplay and it was produced by Wyck Godfrey and Marty Bowen.

This film tells the story of Shailene Woodley, a teenage girl with cancer in phase four. In one moment of her life Hazel decides to test an experimental medicine that make her survive a few years more.

Her parents, Laura Dern and Sam Trammell, force her to go to a support group for young people with cancer. Shailene discourage them day after day until one day she meets Ansel Elgort, a teenage boy who lost his right leg owing to a tumour. From that moment they live a lot of adventures together.

I think the best thing of this movie is that, as time goes by, it makes the reader believe that something will happen and when Ansel Elgort tells Shailene that he has cancer everything changes. But I think that the worst thing of this movie is the end because I would have liked a different one because Ansel dies and it is a very sad ending.

In conclusion, I recommend to watch this movie, however you should open your mind and don’t wait it happens what you think will happen. .

Film Details Title of the film: The fault in our stars.

Year: 2014.

Nationality: United States.

Cast: Shailene Woodley, Ansel Elgort, Laura Dern, Nat Wolff.

Direction: Josh Boone.

Genre: Realistic fiction.

Duration: 125 minutes.

8 THE HUNT

DRAMA · SEXUAL ABUSE

The tittle of the film is The Hunt. The director of the film is Thomas Vinterberg. Thomas Vinterberg was one of the founders of the “generation of 95”, a kind of cinema which became a popular around the 95s. The film came out in 2012. It is set in Denmark on an ordinary day. Maybe this film could be the best film from Vinterberg. The important idea that Vinterberg try to shows us is about the power of lies. Also, how the people can be cruel without the knowledge of the true. The film won more than twenty prizes.

The plot is very simple but the idea is very deep. Lucas (Mad Mikkelsen) is rebuilding his life, Lucas has a great job in the town’s school, the relationship with his son isn’t very good, but it is improving, he also knows a new woman. In general his life is getting better when somethings happens. The daughter of his best friend invents a lie. Clara (Annika Wedderkopp), the girl, invents that Lucas has abused her. Clara tell this lie to the director of the school where Lucas works. This lie is everyday more and more big, and, in fact, later, the whole town believes that lie.

The main characters have done their job perfectly.

We can also say a few bad things about the film. Maybe the soundtrack could be better, the dubbing could have been better. However, if we have to analyse it, we can say that this is a piece of art. An interesting reflexion about the men and the lie, and how we can believe lies without thinking about them.

Furthermore, trusting lies is easier than searching and finding the truth.

I recommend you this film if you want to see a good movie.

Film details.

Title of the film: The hunt Year: 2012 Nacionality: Denmark Cast: Mad Mikkelsen, Thomas Bo Larssen, Annika Wedderkop, Alexandra Rapaport.

A great biography that tells a difficult life in Berlin, a life full of emotions and undoubtedly the best film by director Uli Edel that conveys the harsh reality of the protagonist Christiane.

In conclusion I recommended this great work of art as it is a very realistic and hard film but nevertheless perfectly describes the reality of the youth who lived in the 80, where heroin and other drugs took a whole generation.

Christiane is a girl of 13, starts go partying at trendy nightclubs along with her friend from class, begins from here to discover the drugs while it meets other people which feels very influenced, increasingly need a dose increase have to resort to looking for money easy and fast, reaching prostitution.

The protagonist Christiane had not interpreted ever despite this makes a great performance and manages to convey the harshness of a life where drug addiction is.

TRUE LIFE STORY Son missed

This story happened on January 2014. In a little town near the coast (Premia de Mar).

It Is the story about a family, Maria and David and their young child Marti. They were in Mcdonals having a dinner. The parents were inside ordering some food while the child was outside with more little boys playing in the Mcdonals Park. But something awful happened.

When the parents were going out, they saw that their child was not there. At first they thought that Marti perhaps was just playing around the Mcdonals Park and he was hiding waiting for his parents to find him. However, David and Maria started to search for him and they could not find him. The worst thing happened they could not find him, he was missing.

Firstly, David called the police to inform them of the situation. It was quite late for a child and too cold. David and Maria decided to walk out a go and search for Marti around the near streets close to MCdonals and try to find their son. The police joined them in the search, however, nobody was able to find Marti. They had been searching for Marti more than two hours and the panic was increasing with every passing moment.

David felt that it had been all his fault, he should had stayed with Marti and never had left him alone. David and Maria were crying a lot.

But soon good news came with a phone call. The call came from Joana, she worked at Mcdonals and she explained” David, keep calm, we found your child in the toilets. He couldn’t get out of there because a person working there had closed the door thinking that there was nobody inside.

When David heard that news he was the happiest person in the world. David explained that to his wife that Marti is Mcdonals of premia de mar, safe, he had been locked in the toilets by an employer of the place where happened that.

Mc Donalds, Maria responded with much happiness ” Oh my god, I was so scared, please lets go to pick him up”.

What this story tries to explain is that it is very easy for something to go wrong or bad happens. We try to be responsible of all the people and things we care about but things can change very quickly.

So we must take care of the ones we love and make the most of every day as things can change very quickly.

TRUE LIFE STORY Friends are friends

A few years ago, a boy called George travelled to London with friends to visit the city and learn the language, because he could not learn English although he was studying in his country of residence. George lived in Spain (Barcelona), in a small village in which people only spoke two languages, Castilian and Catalan, and very few people could speak English.

He and his friends were about board the plane that would take them to their destination for a few months, but George had left something very important at home, and told his friends to catch the plane, and requested the not to worry, because he would get on another one the next day, but he could not go without that thing which was so important.

His friends instead of going without him, his friends decided to wait, they missed the plane and the money of the ticket and waited for his friend. A day later, they boarded together and went to London.

Once there, it offered an offer to them that they could not refuse. An older man, who wanted to move away to a residence, offered them a house for very little money, the problem was they had less money than they expected because they had to buy another ticket.

But when it seemed that they had lost the opportunity of their lives, George approached and told the man: “Will we have what is needed to buy the house with that diamond?�

So they finally obtained the house thanks to George’s friends who waited him one more day to catch that important object, which as you can imagine was the diamond that his mother had left him before she died.

So, as moral, keep in mind that if you help your friends, they will treat you great.

TRUE LIFE STORY The big problem of the internet The actress Alicia was tortured on the internet when she was 15 years old and, finally, she found a solution of her problems after years of struggling with her past.

This story began in the summer of 2015 in Australia. She just moved to another city because her parent changed their jobs. Since she was new in town and she didn’t know anyone she started to talk with unknown people on the internet.

In the beginning everything was going great until she met a guy named John. This boy had the same age as she, at that moment, and they connected very fast. They talked every day in a chat on the internet but one day he told to her to send pictures to him. At first she was not very convinced but later she thought that it was not a bad idea.

In that moment her torture started.

A few days after sending the pictures the police knocked on her door. She thought that something happened in her neighbourhood but, unfortunately, it was not.

The police explained that all the pictures that she sent to John were posted on the internet. Her parents made a complaint but the pictures continue on the internet. All the people looked at she in the street and the jokes of the pictures started.

She passed a bad time with this story but she could leave the past behind with the support of her family and a very important phrase that she said is: “I think that a lot of teenagers are in this situation and I want to say to my fans that everything can be overcome if you want�.
