Hi everyone,
Today was a special session because you were in charge of choosing a topic to write about.
The topic is about about your "favourite movie/ book , "the best movie/series/book you´ve ever seen/read"
First , I would like to say that I am not a big fan of movies, but it does not mean that I have not visited cinemas. I have enjoyed a lot seeing interesting and funny films, especially with my children, during different times in my life and theirs, when they were kids and now that they are grown-ups. We enjoy staying together and having fun watching good and great films. They all love films.
Films are like a piece of fantasy mixed with real life, there are a lot of different types of films, action, science fiction, drama, comedy, horror, documentaries, cartoons, etc but I prefer comedies, history or films based on real facts. I have seen many amazing movies but just two of them are my favourites: "Cinema Paradiso" (Italian)and "Les Chorists" (French). The first one is an Oscar winner. It is simply an enigmatic film which will stay in your memory for a long time...It is about a filmmaker who recalls his childhood, when he fell in love with the movies at his village' s theater and formed a deep friendship with the theater's projectionist. The second one is about a failed music teacher (Mr. Mathieu) who comes to a strict boy`s boarding school where a tough headmaster rules over a deprived youth with a motto of "Action- Reaction". Mr Mathieu tries a different approach, introducing music into their lives, forming a boys' choir that allows him to discover the secret musical talent of a quiet but troubled young boy.
These films are so charming, funny, touching, poignant and thought- provoking but mainly real and human.
They are those kind of films that you will always remember.
Now it is your turn.

I love "Les Choristes"! We saw her as a family several years ago. My sister Vittoria loved the songs in the movie so much that she learned French just so she could sing them. It is an unforgettable film.
