A new film club is going to be created in your neighbourhood and the promoters want to organize live forums where people are going to discuss about different types of films. People interested in taking part in this initiative must write a text where they explain their favourite film genre and write about a movie belonging to this category that is quite significant for them.

 

You, as a great movie buff decide to participate.

 

Write a report where you explain why you like cinema and what your favourite genre is. Then, include information about the film that you think can be considered as the iconic representation of this genre and that is so especial for you that you would never stop watching it.

 

Write between 200-225 words.

 

 

·      Before you (2014)

 

 

I absolutely adore film. It’s not always about the story; there is something else that makes movies magical: breathtaking scenes, exciting action, beautiful speeches;  they make you laugh, gasp, maybe even cry, you’ll learn, escape from your real life, and live a wonderful shared experience that is difficult to find elsewhere. I won't chose genre, but a wonderful movie: Before you (2014) (Rated PG-13)

 

It  is a romantic drama based on the novel by Jojo Moyes. The film was directed by Thea Sharrock. It stars Emilia Clarke and Sam Claflin. The film is set in UK. It had good and bad reviews, although the audience liked it. It didn’t win any prize.

 

Louisa is a happy and very talkative twenties young girl who must find a job quickly to support her family. Will Traynor is a successful businessman who likes extreme sports. After having an accident, he remains quadriplegic. Will, very depressed, is thinking to suicide himself. Lou's mission will be to look after and encourage Will, trying to avoid the fatal ending, which she and Will’s family fear.

 

Not only will you feel a big amount of emotions for 110 minutes, but also, by the time the movie have been over, you'll be crazily in love with Lou (Emilia Clark).

 

It is definitely one of my favourite films and I strongly recommend it.
