My favorite movie

My favorite movie is “Chicago” an American musical directed by Rob Marshall, based on the same named musical from the 70’s. It stars when a woman, called Roxie, kills her lover when she found out he wasn’t helping her to get her own jazz show, the police arrest her and her husband, Amos, hires the best lawyer, called Billy Flynn to get her out of prison. The tactic of the lawyer is to make the case look like an amusement show and control the press on his favor to make people love Roxie and make her look like the victim. The reason why I like it so much is because I found hilarious how he manipulates everything and everyone on his favor and how everything just end up turning into a jazz show. I also like the ways how it shows all the bad habits the judicial system used to have at that time in USA and how easily manipulated people is with the press.

I don’t remember exactly the first time that I ever saw it, but it probably was on my last year at school, when my sister let me use her Netflix account.

The kind of movies that I usually watch and like the most, apart from musicals, are psychological thrillers like “The Silence of the Lambs” because I think they have well-made stories and complex characters and they are so interesting you get really involved in the development of the movie.

The most recent movie I have seen was “The Silenced” a South Korean mystery thriller directed by Lee Hae-young. The movie is set in Japan at the 30’s and is about a girl called Ju-ran who is gravely sick and gets transferred to a sanatorium/girl’s boarding school to improve her health. Weird things start to happen, girls start to disappear and, even though she becomes healthier, her body also starts to feel different. Personally, I liked more the beginning than the ending, but it was a very good movie to pass time and I wouldn’t mind to watch it again.

I also watch this movie on Netflix and if it wasn’t for that I wouldn’t have the opportunities to find these kind of movies because people barely talk about them.
