The Nanny Diaries


Annie Braddock, a university young woman, is obliged to obtain a work as babysitter, after a refusal from a company. This way, she finishes taking charge of 4-year-old spoiled son of a well-off family of the Upper East Side, called Mr. and Mrs. X, of New York.

Annie will have to learn to move in her smallest and poor room inside the luxurious flat from Family X and also she has to learn how to control Grayer, because at the beginning, Grayer hates her.

Later on, Annie meets a handsome boy who lives in that flat; little by little, they will be confident.

During her stay, Annie starts to be controlled by Mrs. X and she starts to feel bad and worried about Grayer.




We couldn't see the whole film, but its starts to be really interesting!

But when Manny, Sid and Diego discover that the miles of ice that is melting will flood their great valley, they must warn the whole world of the risk that there is and the need to find a solution to run away from immediate flood.

We could only watch the beginning of the film, but we laughed a lot; it's a funny film.

The life is beautiful


Summary
Guido (Roberto Benigni), a young Italian Jew, arrives in Arezzo where he opens a bookshop.
Guido is a romantic and nice person specially when he flirts with Dora (Italian, not Jewish; Nicoletta Braschi).
A few years later, Guido and Dora have a son, Joshua.

In the second half, Guido, Guido's uncle Eliseo, and Joshua are taken to a concentration camp on Joshua's birthday. Dora wants to go with her family to the concentration camp. Guido hides Joshua from the Nazi guards and gives him food.
Guido convinces his son that the camp is just a game; a game who gets 1000 points wins a tank, He tells Joshua that if he cry, he lose poits, while quite boys who hide from the camp guards earn points.

Guido maintains this story right until the end, when he tells his son to stay in a metal box until everybody has left, this being the final test before the tank is his. After trying to find Dora, Guido is caught, taken away, and is shot to death by a Nazi guard.
Joshua survives and thinks he has won the game when an American tank arrives to liberate the camp, and he returned with his mother.


The end is so emotional and sad but the argument is so well.
For me, is the best film that I've ever seen.
