Task 12

I have decided to select a scene from "Jerry Maguire". The scene is at the final part of the movie and it is the climax involving two of the main characters, which are the romantic couple. Although this is a good movie, it is not the one I am recommending below.

INT. LIVING ROOM -- NIGHT
Jerry enters. Dorothy is seated toward the back.
JERRY Hello. I'm looking for my wife.
Dorothy looks up, robbed of words. Stunned, she does not move.
JERRY (continuing) Alright. If this is where it has to happen, then this is where it has to happen.
Dorothy says nothing
JERRY (continuing) I'm not letting you get rid of me. How about that?
He shares a look with some of the other women
She's not going to say a word. Neither do they.
JERRY (continuing) This used to be my specialty. I was good in a living room. Send me in there, I'll do it alone. And now I just... I don't know... but on what was supposed to be the happiest night of my business life, it wasn't complete, wasn't nearly close to being in the same vicinity as complete, because I couldn't share it with you. I couldn't hear your voice, or laugh about it with you. I missed my wife. We live in a cynical world, and we work in a business of tough competitors, so try not to laugh -- (directly) I love you. You complete me.
DOROTHY Aw, shut up. You had me at hello. _ 130.
He moves to her. They embrace. Ray watches in b.g. Jerry has given this room hope. It's on their faces. At last, even Laurel gets off on her sister's happiness, as she shares a look with Chad.

1. Recommending a good film: " O Auto da Compadecida"

Sometimes when doing an exercise like this in English we assume that the movie should also be foreign, but I think we should remark the recent prestige of the national productions. Thus I chose to recommend here one of the best Brazilian movies I have ever watched; "O Auto da Compadecida". This movie is really terrific, especially if you like a good comedy movie. Some years ago it was difficult to see a Brazilian movie which not explored Sex scenes, and this movie not only does not do it, but also shows a little bit the real life of people from the Northeastern of Brazil, their cleverness and how using it to defeat the difficulties of living in poverty. If you have not watched it yet, DO IT and for sure you will enjoy it.

2. Advising you not to see: "Independence Day"

Except for the special effects, this movie seems to be more like a propaganda of the American Government and its power. The plot is just ridiculous, and in some parts of the movie it is possible for someone who is not American start feeling sick about the dialogues, which once more were intentionally created to pass it off to us this fake idea that American people are stronger, more intelligent and so on. The actors are terrible, at least in this movie, and even if you ignore the plot and try to enjoy it, in my opinion it is a waste of time. If you want a movie about alien invasion, try to see "Mars Attack" from Tim Burton, at least I guarantee that you have some fun.
