Leerlingen-recensies Film Dagen

I was very impressed by the films, especially by the film 'China Blue'. It gave you the opportunity to realise in which conditions workers do their
work and to see how courageous they are. All films were instructive.
During the films you also had the chance to put yourself in the place of the workers and to think about solutions. To see the will in their eyes
made me feel good. Nowadays, we think the world is as we see it, but some of these films indicated the opposite. It was shocking to see how entrepeneurs in China put pressure on their workers. Freedom of opinion and expression isn't allowed! I think they shouldn't give up, but keep aspiring their targets and I believe some day they'll achieve this. So, I appreciate the efforts of Amnesty International and I believe they'll make a go for it.

Don't look now

Don't look now was the second movie we watched. This one was played in the Filmmuseum, unlike Double Take (which we saw in Cinecenter). Don't look now isn't made by Hitchcock, but it contains the same sort of suspense. Throughout the entire movie, all you can do is pray for nothing bad to happen to the main characters. The movie is about a married couple that loses its daughter. To recover from their huge loss, they go on a vacation to Venice. There, they meet two elderly ladies, sisters, of which one is blind. The blind woman has a gift: she can see the dead. Accidentally (or not..?), these two women meet the sad mother. The blind woman has seen her daughter: she can describe exactly the way she had looked, her blonde hair and her red plastic rain coat. She tells the mother that her little girl is happy.
From there, strange things begin to happen to the couple. The blind woman tells the father that his life is in danger in Venice. Then, their son, who goes to boarding-school back home, has an accident. The mother flies back to check on him. But the father sees her on a boat in Venice the same day… what's going on here?
It's a thrilling story of which I'm not going to tell the end, for I'd only spoil it for other people. It was a lot of fun to watch it with 4B and 4C and I think the whole project turned out to be a great success!
