Little Mermaid

 



Hey Everyone!!! I have decided to write about little Mermaid starring Halle Bailey, Melissa McCarthy, Jonah Hauer king and Javier Bradem. 

It’s one of my favorite movies I have loved it since I was a little girl, I love the story. 

The story starts off with Ariel who is the youngest of seven sisters, you will learn who her sisters are when you watch the movies just in case you need a refresh their names are Anita,Alana, Adella, Aquata, Arista and Andrina. 

Ariel is the daughter of King Triton ruler of all the mer-people in Atlantica. She is  very fascinated with the human world despite never seeing it and never being in it before. 

Her dad forbids all merfolk from going there after Ariel’s mother was killed by a human.  

Ariel is supposed to be singing at a concert done by the crab Sebastian who you will see in the movie, he’s very funny and a good friend to Ariel he’s the kings right hand person . 

Ariel decides to go exploring she sees fireworks above the ocean goes to the surface to see them better.

 The fireworks are coming from Eric’s ship he is the prince of a nearby island, all of a sudden a storm arrives the ship crashes against rocks and causes it to break they are forced to go to the lifeboats . 

Eric sees his dog Max is still on the boat, he runs up and rescues him and then he is stuck on the boat, he ends up falling in the water and Ariel rescues him, she brings him to shore and sings to him with her beautiful voice to help save his life.  

He loves her voice and he starts to wake up to see who the voice belongs to, she disappears before he can regain consciousness. 

Her father is noticing Ariel is a little absent-minded , he talks to Sebastian who reveals to him that she rescued a human. 

As you know that makes her father Triton very upset , he goes to confront Ariel in her grotto, he tells her to promise him she will never return to the surface when she refuses to swear she won’t return to the surface he destroys her collection of human objects. 

Ariel is very upset and heart broken, she tells everyone to go away, you can tell her dad is remorseful after seeing her sad face, 

Ariel is later approached by two moray eels sent by the sea witch Ursula who I didn’t know is Tritons sister and Is Ariel’s aunt who was banished from Atlantica 15 years ago.  Ariel goes to Ursula’s lair and she is presented with a deal, she will turn into a human being for 3 days with those three days that she is a human she must have a true loves kiss to remain a human being forever and permanently. 

If Ariel doesn’t receive the kiss she will belong and have to live with Ursula forever, In order for Ariel to become human she has to give up two things I know right ?

 She has to give up her tail, her ability to breathe underwater and her beautiful singing voice Ursula will keep her voice in a shell 🐚. Ariel accepts the deal , after she receives her human legs she is taken to the surface by her best fish friend flounder and Sebastian. 

Once she reaches the real human world 🌍, she is rescued and taken to the castle of Prince Eric, Guess what Eric has been searching for the woman who saved his life he rushes to meet Ariel.

 He doesn’t realize yet she Is the woman who he has been searching for, you’ll see that later in the movie.  She can’t speak her lack of voice has him turned away, while she is exploring the castle Ariel finds a collection of items Eric collected he accumulated over his travels, Eric spends time with her poring over his collection.

After Ariel gets a good nights rest the next morning Eric takes her sight seeing around the kingdom, Sebastian has followed her he realizes Ursula put a cheat in the spell to make Ariel forget she is supposed to kiss him, along with her friend Scuttle who is a northern garnet, and flounder Sebastian takes it upon himself to get them to kiss.

They almost are successful with the kiss, they are thwarted by Ursula’s eels. Ursula is very angry about the close call with Eric and Ariel, I can’t believe what Ursula does next , she turns herself into a human and takes Ariel’s beautiful voice as her own to hypnotize Eric. 

Back at the kingdom, Triton has the kingdom search for Ariel and begins to regret the way he treated her. The next morning Ariel and her friends discover Eric will be Announcing his engagement to Vanesa who is you won’t believe it Ursula later that day. 

Ariel makes her way to the engagement party confronts Ursula and she breaks the shell. She gets her voice back and the enchantment on Eric is broken, unfortunately before they can kiss, the sun sets and Ariel is turned back into her original form a mermaid , Ursula drags Ariel back to the ocean. 

The rest of the movie is really good it will keep you on the edge of your seat until the end of the movie, it has a lot of amazing and fun scenes in the movie and a lot of action and a couple dramatic scenes. It has a lot of beautiful colors portrayed in the movie. 

  I know a lot of the songs that are played in the movie and i sing along with all of them. Melissa McCarthy did an outstanding job as Ursula she brought her to life, and made her seem like she was very real . She also has a wonderful singing voice, and Halle did an outstanding job as Ariel, you really felt her emotions and feelings and all what she was going through the whole movie, it was like you were on the journey with her and swimming along with her and singing with her. 

Ariel is one of my favorite princesses because she reminds me a little of myself with her love of singing, her caring and loving heart, the way she protects and fights for those who she loves, and how she wants to see the world and be a part of a lot of different things in her life. She is strong and brave and wants ready to explore life and what is has to offer. 

One of my favorite songs is Under the sea, because it explains what life is like under the sea, and how much fun the sea is. And I enjoy the words in the song too.

 I also really like part of your world how it explains how Ariel wants to be part of the human world and the things she wants to do In the human world and all the questions she has about the world , and how excited and happy she would be to be part of that world.  

One of my favorite memories from this movie is seeing it with my big sister, it’s a memory I will Cherish and keep in my heart forever, another special memory I will always cherish and love 💕 is her singing to me part of that world. 

She has a beautiful singing voice and it’s really calming to my spirit and Heart.  My favorite scenes from the little mermaid is Ursula singing her song Poor Unfortunate Souls, she does a good job with that song 🎵 and I also love where Ariel and Sebastian sing Under the Sea together it’s a very fun and upbeat song I think you will enjoy it and love 💕 it too when you see it! It also shows how dreams can come true if you believe and do everything you can to make it come true and believe it will with all your Heart, I know and believe my dream will come true with working at Disney. 

I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to see a nice and moving story.

Remember the Titans



Hey Everyone, I hope you had a wonderful Valentine’s Day and having a good week!

 In celebration of Black History Month, I have decided to write about Remember the Titans, which is about two teams of different people and colors coming together and becoming a team and friends together.

 The movie Stars Denzel Washington, Ryan Gosling, Ryan Hurst, Wood Hurst. 

The movie starts off with Coach Yoast Daughter Cheryl narrating the story of how two football teams became integrated. 

Bill Yoast is the new Integrated T.C. Williams High School in Alexandra Virginia , He just started Summer Workouts with his football players when he is informed  Herman Boone a black head coach who was originally hired to coach the city’s Black High School Team, has been assigned to Bill’s coaching staff instead. 

After he learns this there is an attempt to placate rising racial tensions and the fact that other high schools in Alexandria are white only, despite the abolition of racial serration in public schools the school district decides to name Boone the head coach.

Boone at first refuses the job because he thinks it’s not fair to Yoast who is a successful who is nominated to the Virginia high school of fame. 

He then changes his mind and decides after seeing what it means to the community of black people.  

After Yoast learns Boone accepted the job he tells his football players he tells his players he accept a head coach position elsewhere, his players tell him they will boycott the team if he is not their coach. 

He is dismayed at the prospect of the Students losing their chance at a scholarship, Bill changes his mind and decides to accept Bone’s offer to serve as his defensive coordinator, Later in the movie we see Coach Boone holding his first team meeting with mostly black students in the school gymnasium, which is interrupted by Yoast and several white students.

 Yoast informs Boone of his decision about the team, Boone warns Yoast and tells him he won’t tolerate him undermining him. 

It is now August 15th and the players journey to Gettysburg College for Training camp. Early on in the camp the football players are clashing with each other, in racially motivated conflicts, especially between the two Captains Gerry Berteir who is white and and Julius Campbell who is black. 

However through very hard training, forceful coaching, and a motivational early morning run to the Gettysburg National Cemetery followed by a very emotional speech by Boone,  the team comes together and returns as a united group. 

It is now time for their first football game , before the game starts Boone Is informed by a member of the school board that even if he loses a single game, he will be dismissed. 

Good news subsequently, the titans go undefeated while battling racial prejudice and gaining support for the community.

It is almost time for the state semi -finals , Bill is told by the chairman of the school board that they arranged for the titans to lose so Boone can be fired and dismissed and Bill will once again be the head coach. 

The game starts and during the game , the referees are making unfair calls against the titans.

 Bill is seeing the chairman and other board members of the school looking on with satisfaction, Bill marches onto the field to warn the head referee that If the game is not officiated fairly, he will expose the whole scandal to the press.

 After his talk with the reff, the titans shut their opponents and advance to the state championships.  Bill is told by the Very upset Chairman that the actions he made in saving Boones Job have resulted in him losing his Hall of Fame nomination. 

Later in the evening the titans are celebrating the victory , Gerry is severely injured in a car accident and is paralyzed from the waist down. Despite the loss of the All-American Linebacker , the team mounts a comeback in the fourth quarter of the state championship and wins the title. 

Ten years go by this time Gerry dies in another car crash caused by a drunk driver , after winning the gold medal in the shot put in the Paralympic Games.

The opening scene of the beginning of the movie Is the funeral scene of Gerry where all his teammates and and former football coaches are Julius who Gerry’s mother didn’t like at first is now holing her hand as he leads the team in a mourning rendition of Na Na Hey Hey Goodbye.

There are a few dramatic scenes that happen in the movie, and a couple inspirational teaching moments that happen in the movie too. 

The movie will really touch and move your heart in a good way. 

I decided to write about this movie because it shows how people of different color and races can come together and be friends.

  It reminds me of the speech Dr. King Made how he had a dream that White People and black people would come together and be united and work together as a team. 

And in this movie it shows his dream coming to life and they become united and became friends. I also decided to write about this movie because Denzel Washington is one of my favorite actors and I enjoy his movies he did an outstanding job in this role he played. 

My favorite scene from the movie is when Sunshine Defends Rev from one of the football players and his teammates say don’t mess with Sunshine. 

You will see it when you watch the movie he gets inspiration from his coach. My Other favorite scene is when they dance on the football field and they say we are the titans the mighty mighty titans. 

I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to watch  a good sports movie.

See original image

Happy Valentine's  Day!

 I hope you all have a wonderful and amazing day, I have decided to write about the movie the proposal starring Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds,  Betty White

The movie starts off with Margret Tate who is from Canada and she is an executive editor in chief of a New York Publishing Company, and the way she displays her personality no one really likes her, or talks to her very much.

She learns from her boss that her visa renewal application has been denied due to a visa term violation and that she faces deportation back to Canada. 

Her assistants name is Andrew Paxton, he is her underpaid assistant she doesn't want to lose her job or her life in New York she tells him to marry her so she can get her green card.

 To also to get him to agree to marry her she tells him if she is deported his years as being her assistant will be lost, and forgotten it will set his dream back of becoming an Editor. 

A Us Immigration Agent named Gilbertson informs them that he suspects that their engagement is fake and that they are committing a Fraud to avoid Margaret's deportation. 

He explains to them they will each be questioned about each other separately. If their answers don't match each other Margaret will be deported to Canada permanently, and Andrew will be convicted of a felony,including a 250,000 fine and five years in prison.  

Before he agrees to officially marry her he insists that Margret make him an editor after their marriage and publish a book he has recommend to her and she accepts his offer.

 They travel to Andrew's hometown of Sitka, Alaska to meet his family which includes his mother Grace, and grandmother Annie who is known as Gammy. 

On the way to the family's home Margaret learns Andrew and his family are very wealthy, evidence by most business having the family's name on it. 

The family has a welcome home party that is where Andrew confronts his father Joe who is upset with him because he is dating the boss who he has disliked for a long time, he believes he is using her to get ahead in his career. 

After the argument is over, Andrew announces he and Margret are getting married, the next day Grace and Annie take Margret out for  her bachelorette party, she steps away from the party for a minute she comes across Andrew's ex girlfriend named Gertrude she tells Margret that Andrew wanted to become an Editor and make his own life, he proposed to her she didn't accept his offer because she didn't want to leave Sitka for New York. 

The following day the family convinces Andrew and Margret to get married. After Spending some Time with Andrew's family she realizes how close they all are, which moves Margret very deeply. 

 She gets on one of his boats, and she speeds away with Andrew, while on the boat she admits to him she has been alone since she was 16 when her parents died. and has forgotten what it is like to have a family.  She lets go of the helm and goes to the back of the boat, Andrew takes over the boat and  makes a sharp turn to avoid hitting a buoy, Margaret falls out the boat and Andrew saves her she can't swim. 

They make it back to the house and discover the immigration officer has contacted Joe and informed him of the possible fraud between Andrew and Margret. In response he flew the officer to Sitka where he offers them a deal, if they confess the marriage is a fake Margaret will be deported and there will be no further penalties, they refuse to accept the offer claiming to be in love. 

However the day of the wedding, Margaret touched by Andrew's family sincerity stops the ceremony and tells the truth to the guests and the immigration officer who tells her she has TwentyFour hours to return home to Canada. 

She returns to the house to pack her belongings, Andrew rushes to her room and sees she has already left and that she has left his book manuscript with a note of praise and promise to publish it. Gertrude comforts him and asks him if he is going to go after her. As he is on his way to find her he gets into another argument with his father Joe, a couple more dramatic scenes happen after this, it is a happy ending for everyone the movie will leave you with a smile on your face and joy in your heart, it will also keep you thinking what is going  to happen next in the movie? 

Everyone does an outstanding job in the movie you can really feel the characters who are the actors are portraying really come to life. 

I really like this movie because you see how Margaret's character transforms and changes as the movie goes along, you see how she is tough and strong on the outside, on the inside she is kind, caring, and has a desire to be liked and cared for she just has forgotten how to show love and kindness because she lost something that she loved and cared for very much, it was easier for her to be strong and a little bossy on the outside because that is what she has been doing since she was 16. 

I can relate to her through her strength,  there some events that have happened in my life where I have had to be strong, and tough because life can be hard sometimes even when life is hard you have to keep standing up and being the strong person and tough person that you are, and know that you can get through what life is throwing at you in the moment. 

I love how the family is showing love to each other throughout the movie , I am a big family person and  I love how my family is always there for me whenever I need them, I know they will always be there for me because they love me very much.  I am glad that God blessed me with a good, loving, kind, caring, big heart because I have so many friends and family that I can share my Love and Big Heart with and they share their love and heart in return to me. 

I also picked this movie because Sandra Bullock is one of my favorite actresses I enjoy a lot of her movies, and this is one of my favorite ones. And it also reminds me of the love verse love is patient, love is kind, love is not proud, it keeps no records of wrongs. it’s not easily angered and rejoices with the truth. Corinthians 13. And always remember to be loving and kind to one another. I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to watch a good rom-com.
