 Introdution

This work is within the scope of the english discipline and its theme is about a film.
I chose this film because it translates an image of love and fear, but that fear can be overcome
with hope.
With this work I intend to develop more skills in this discipline, I intend to give people the
message and what the film is about so that it is an incentive.
I will start by presenting the technical part of the film that involves the actors, awards, etc ..., then I
will develop what I could observe in the film, basically the story and finally my opinion.

Plot

The director places the action in four different countries (Morocco, United States, Mexico and
Japan) and, consequently, in four different languages. The film begins in the desert of
Morocco, where a family man buys a gun (rifle) to protect his goats from jackals, then as he
works outside, he left the gun with his younger children. They decide to test the limit of that
weapon to see its range. The youngest, who knows how to shoot, points to a bus that passes
on the desert road. Susan and Richard are traveling on it. The shot hits the woman in the
shoulder while she rested, causing panic on the bus.
In the other side of the world, in the United States, Amelia, the nanny who takes care of
Richard's children, receives a phone call saying that Susan is hospitalized, she has been living
illegally in the United States for about 16 years. Afraid of losing her son's wedding in Mexico,
she decides to cross the border taking the children with her nephew, who ends up being
reported to Mexico.

In Japan, Chieko's father is a wealthy and successful businessman who, on his way to success,
became increasingly isolated from his family. Cheiko is a dumb young woman and learned
sign language at school and with her parents, with the absence of the mother who committed
suicide, her life would make her sad and try to take refuge in the nightclubs and bad
reputation, a young woman offered. At the end of the film she tries to commit suicide but her
father arrives in time and explains everything about her mother's death, ending the action she
was going to commit.

I had difficulty starting work because I didn't know how I

Conclusion was going to organize myself, but with developing it was
less difficult.
Some of my work objectives were not fulfilled as I would like them to be, but I think the work
is not bad and you can see. My computer had some problems and that was what made it
difficult for me to develop the work but I tried to do it in another way and I think it was not
bad.
My type of research was to see the full movie, and then to see it in various parts, because it
was big and the story was well developed, then I searched on several pages to get other
information and there was a little difficulty on the topics presented on page 5, but I managed
to get the information I needed.

With this work I want to convey to other people that this film has a fundamental role for our
society, which can help us mentally, because what happened in the film can happen to us.

comment:
With the visualization of this film, it helped me to better understand the difficulties that we all
have and may have, and the message that refers is:

With knowing how to think and with effort everything is possible to overcome the most
difficult moments!
