Moominland Midwinter

I write this book review of a book Moominland Midwinter. I chose this book because when I was younger I liked this book very much and now when I`m older I still like this. I don`t enjoy very much reading books but I think that this book is really hearth-warming and lovely. This book is written by Tove Jansson.

The characters in the book are Moomintroll, Little-My, Too-Tick, Spook and Great Gold. Relationship between Moomintroll and Little-My is interesting because Little-My is vivacious and Moomintroll is peaceful. Too-Tick lives in winter under the ice and he is clever and quiet.  It`s great   see how characters come closer and take care of each other. Characters didn`t seem at story real but they had very much human feature.

Story begin when Moomintroll wake up in the middle of winter. It`s new to him because Moomin`s always sleep at winter. Moomintroll is only who wake up and later Little-My wake up also when squirrel waking up her. Story tells how Moomintroll see winter and how new and exciting that is for him. One of my favorite parts of the text is when Moomintroll ask “What this snow?” and Too-Tick answer about that “sometimes it is white, red, blue, yellow, warm and cold­ – Moomintrovery is very astonished about snow and winter.

Book`s plot happened in Moominland. The plot tells about  the winter and the end of the story tells about the spring. I think that this book is a beautiful grow up story and it also reminds us to be always brave. And it tells about friendship and remind to us research the world and things what happened around us.

My favorite part of this book is when the spring comes at the end of story and another Moomins  wake up. Moomintroll have seen something that no one in his family have ever seen. He tells what he has experienced and what he thinks about the winter and the strange things what happened during the winter.

In this book language was easy to read and I understand almost everything of it. Of course dictionary get help when I didn`t understand text

It was new to me read english book, but it was also learning, I learned new vocabulary, of course it`s take more time but what is the most important, I also learned something.

savages

I write this film-review from the movie savages. The movie is released on July 2012.

Savages is an American crime thriller film. It was directed by Oliver stone. The movie is based on the novel of the same name by Don Winslow. Leading actors are Taylor Kitsch (Chon), Blake Lively (Ophelia),Aaron Taylor-Johnson(Ben) and Salma Hayek(Elena).

In the movie characters have many problems. Two men who sell marijuana to medical use loves same person, Ophelia. A Mexican drug-cartel kidnaps Ophelia because Chon and Ben didn`t want to participate in drug selling operations. The reason why the cartel wanted to co-operate with Ben and Chon was that their marijuana was the best in the world.  The boys would do anything to save Ophelia from the cartel. Very violent criminal “Lado” who is working under the drug-cartel boss Elena, tries to hurt Ophelia but Elena starts pitying her and she gives Ophelia better place to sleep and eat.

The movie was filmed Laguna Beach, California. Ben and Chon differs much from each other. Ben is calm and Chon is wild soldier who has been peacekeeper in Afghanistan. Ophelia is beautiful and gentle. Elena is sad because her daughter doesn`t want keep in touch with her. Elena`s husband was killed so Elena had to take the lead at the cartel, which her daughter is mad at her for and that is why she doesn`t keep in touch.

When I saw this movie for the first time, I was really surprised from all the violence. But the same time movie was a beautiful love story. Salma and Blake`s characters were extremely good and they played their role perfectly.

My favorite part at the movie was absolutely lop off, were Elena, Lado, Chon and Ben meets face to face and agree switch between Elena`s daughter and Ophelia. Lop off was done suspenseful and characters act very well.

The movie is definitely one of my favorite, but maybe some most violent scenes would cut off. Story tells bluntly nowday`s drug- business but also it`s instructive story about love and friendship. Though the movie is violent it also include humor and fun scenes, which is always good. It`s difficult to make same scene fun and violent but in this movie it`s successfully passing well.

The atmosphere was all the time exciting and movie is easy to watch, you stay about story line easily. I promise that this movie is a good choice to people who likes that the movie which include  action, humor and drama.
