Greta Gerwig's Little Women

Image
Hi Everyone! Today I am going to review the recent movie of "Little Women". I really enjoyed this movie, and I will tell you more about it.  Little Women is a retelling of the classic novel of the same name. It portrays four sisters; Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy. It is just a simple and beautiful story about growing up, and also some of the struggles that women faced in the era it was set in (1860's during the period of the American Civil war). Meg is a girl who dreams of finding love, and being an actress. Jo is a tomboy who doesn't want to fit into her society's representation of a girl. Beth is just a simple girl who loves her family and her piano. Amy is the baby of the family, who hates being second to Jo and loves to paint. I grew up reading Little Women, and I have read all four books in the series. I really do think that this movie did the novels justice, and if Louisa May Alcott was here, then she would've really appreciated the retelling. I think

In the defence of "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker" (Warning: Contains Spoilers)

Hi Everyone. Hope you are having an amazing day! The movie I would like to review today is Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Now before I get into this review I have to warn all the readers that it contains major spoilers about the plot of this movie.  I went to see this movie at the beginning of this year, and I would like to say that it has been one of my favourite movies I have seen so far. And that is why I was genuinely shocked when I saw a lot of negative reviews about it, and people saying that it was one of the worst of the Star Wars movies, when I thought it was actually one of the best. Full disclaimer I am not very learned in Star Wars lore, and I am not a mega fan, but I have seen episodes IV-IX. I would like to at least let you look at it  from the point of view of someone who loves this movie, instead of someone who doesn't. The first thing I enjoyed about this movie was the plot. I think that this movie stepped up from "The Last Jedi" in terms o

Bridge to Terabithia (Book)

Hey Everyone!  Today I am going to review a more modern book, but one that is really beautiful and one that I absolutely love.  Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson is the story of a young boy named Jess Aarons who aspires to be the fastest runner in his class. And then a young girl his age named Leslie Burke moves next door to him and everything changes. He learns to find excitement in life, and how to face difficult situations. And all because of Leslie. She prepared him for the hard time ahead in his life. And little did he know how much he would need it.  There are many reasons why I love this book: 1. The value on friendship  This book really shows how a good friendship can impact your life. Jess was lonely before he met Leslie, although he didn't realise it. But when he met Leslie, he started to understand the importance of friendship. It made him realise that other people are special and that they deserve to be treated well. 2. Terabithia  Terabithia is a
