Review #13: The Movie: Fifty Shades Darker


Fifty Shades Darker is a sequel to Fifty Shades of Grey. I thought it was a good sequel ,because it showed a different side of the characters than before. In the first movie they were getting to know each other mostly on a sexual level ,and in this movie ,they are getting to know each other more on a emotional level. She tries to figure out why he is the way he is and whether she can accept it or not. He is constantly trying to win her over and keep her throughout the movie. Also, some things happen during the movie that make them realize their love for each other ,and it helps them to grow closer than before. I felt like this movie was a milestone for the characters because they went through so much together during the movie ,and it could have torn them apart but instead it made them closer. I think their relationship is inspiring to other people because it shows that true love can withstand any challenges that life throws at them.

Although, there is still sexual scenes in this movie ,it is not like the first movie ,because you can see their love for each other ,and I think in the first one ,you could not see how much they love each other. In this movie it shows how their love is strong enough to stand the test of time ,and the facts of life. I feel like people would be able to relate to this movie in some way ,because it has more than just love in it ,it has subjects about abuse, manipulation, jealousy, accidents and more. I felt like the music in this movie was just as good as the first one ,and the acting was good as well. I think the overall movie was just as good as the first one and I am looking forward to seeing another one if another one is made in the future. I think these movies are popular enough that there will be more. Also, I do not feel like the story is over yet for these characters.

Review #12: The Movie: Selena

 
 
Selena is based on a true story about a family that is trying to make a better life for themselves. The dad can see a vision for the kids once he realizes one of them can sing well for her age. The mom is reluctant to let her kids go into the music business ,but she decided to trust what her husband has in mind for the whole family. While the family was struggling to make it in music they were always there for each other even when things got hard. The family never gave up hope in trying to make and they soon got their big break that they had been waiting for. The band became a success ,and they did it together as a family.
 
This movie is not only about success ,it is about love. While the success lead to love ,Selena found herself falling for the new drummer that was hired to play with them. Selena soon found out that the feeling was mutual ,but when they could no longer hide their love from her father everything exploded. Selena's father did not approve of their relationship and threatened to break up the band. Selena and her man were not going to quit seeing each other no matter if they had to hide it or sneak around to see each other. They ended up sneaking around for awhile until Selena soon got tired of sneaking around to see him ,and realized that the only way she could be with him without sneaking around is for them to get married.
 
After, they got married life was good for awhile ,everyone approved of them ,and her career was going good ,she had everything she could ask for. Selena had friends ,family ,a loving husband ,a career that she enjoyed doing ,what could go wrong? Selena had a friend that was secretly an enemy that she did not know about. One of her friends that was working on her fan things was ripping her off ,and she did not know it ,so she ended up confronting her and getting shot and killed. That was a tragic day for her family and her husband ,and all of her fans. I think this movie shows how when life is hard anything is possible ,I think it also show that life could end at any time ,we never know when we will go ,so live life to the fullest ,live life like you are going to die tomorrow ,and enjoy every minute of it like Selena did up until the end.
