Little Dorrit is a 2008 British BBC miniseries based on the novel Little Dorrit of Charles Dickens.




The film is about Amy Dorrit, who has lived in the Marshalsea Prison for Debt since her birth, where she takes care of her father William Dorrit. To help her family, consisting of her sister, Fanny, her brother Tip, her uncle Frederick, her father William and herself, she works as a seamstress at Mrs. Clennam, a cranky old woman, who lives in a ramshackle house along with her butler Jeremiah Flintwich, and his wife, Affery.

It is my favorite Charles Dickens movie.

Cinderella

Cinderella

When we heard that there would be a Cinderella where Lily James would play in,we wanted to watch it right away. There was magic and a beautiful blue dress. Ella lives with her parents. She is told by her mother to believe in magic. Her mother falls ill and on her deathbed, she tells Ella to ''Have courage and be kind.''. Ella keeps that promise. When her father dies on a travel, her father's second wife, Lady Tremaine, and her two stepsisters Anastasia and Drisella let Ella do all the work of the servants (who are dismissed). Ella has to sleep on the attic. They call her ''Cinder''Ella, because one time her face was full of cinder. I like the song ''Lavender's green, dilly dilly, lavender's blue...''. I'm singing it all the time :-).

Pride & Prejudice

The first time we watched the movie Pride and Prejudice 2005 we were like: So boring!!
But the next time it was my favorite Jane Austen movie. Funny how changeable people can be sometimes.


The movie is about Elizabeth Bennet, who lives with her elder sister Jane, her younger sisters Mary, Kitty and Lydia and her parents on a working farm in rural England. Her mother is anxious to marry off all her five daughters. Well, that nearly succeeds. Elizabeth marries Mr. Darcy, Jane marries Mr. Bingley and Lydia marries Mr. Wickham. Only Kitty and Mary do not marry. Charlotte Lucas, Elizabeth's friend, marries Mr. Collins.

By the way, the film is directed by Joe Wright.

Disney's Mulan

Mulan is a 1998 American animated musical action-comedy-drama film produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation based on the Chinese legend Fa Mulan. It is directed by Tony Bancroft and Barry Cook, with story by Robert D. San Souci.


After the Huns, led by Shan Yu, invade China, the Chinese emperor begins to command a general mobilization. Each family is given a conscription notice, requiring one man from each family to join the Chinese army. When Fa Mulan hears that her elderly father Fa Zhou, the only man in their family, is once more to go to war, she becomes anxious that her father will not survive. She decides to disguise herself as man to join the war instead of her father. The ancestors order the ''Great Stone Dragon'' to protect Mulan. Mushu, a little dragon, has to wake the ''Great Stone Dragon'', but destroys the ''Great Stone Dragon'' accidentally and goes after Mulan himself to protect her, together with Cricky, a cricket. Mulan is misguided by Mushu in how to behave like a man, and soon their is a fight in the training camp. However, under command of Li Shang, she and her new co-workers at the camp: Yao, Ling and Chien-Po, become skilled warriors. Mushu, desiring to see Mulan succeed, creates a fake order from Shang's father, General Li, ordering Shang to follow him into the mountains. The troops set out to meet General Li and his troops, but arrive at a burnt-out encampment and discover that General Li and his troops are killed by the Huns. As they leave the mountains, they are ambushed by the Huns, but Mulan cleverly uses a cannon to create a avalanchee that buries most of the Huns. Mulan is hurt by Shan-Yu, and is provided by a doctor. The doctor discovers that Mulan is a girl, and tells Shang. Mulan should be killed because of her betrayal, but Shang spares her, because she saved his life. The troops leave, and leave Mulan behind. Mulan discovers that Shan Yu and six of his men are still alive. She tries to warn Shang, but he doesn't believe her anymore. The emperor is kidnapped and Shang, Yao, Ling, Chien-Po and Mulan save him. The emperor rewards her by giving her his medal and Shan-Yu's sword, so Mulan's family and whole of China knows she saved whole of China. Shang comes to Mulan's house to return her helmet. She asks him for dinner, and that is the end of the first movie of Mulan.


There is a Mulan II, but if i tell all that, it would be far to lang (it is actually already very long).
