Segunda piel (1999)
my views
I can only say that it is the first time I have watched a film of such a nature regarding homosexuality. I don't regard people as being lesser humans because of the choices they make in life because we all choose our own path so for me this is a first. I found that the main part of the film concentrated on cheating on ones partner and the sharing of grief. You still cheating whether its with the same sex partner or not and people that are close to you still get hurt any way even though you feel its all about you. I also feel that in the end sharing your grief with others doesn't need to be contained to specific sex people because people assume they will be understood better if they speak to the same type of people and the movie showed another view and worked just as well for those playing the role and I'm sure in real life the same reaction would be evident. I liked the movie but I wouldn't exactly show it to my class but that my opinion and there are so many others to consider
The History Boys (2006)
Excellent
I think the film did not just show the traditions of the old method of teaching but also the new way which teaching has taken a turn for and how they both can be linked together to form a master piece of teaching styles and enjoyment. The drama in the film on the other hand I have to admit I felt as though Hector is the personality of both sex teachers because even female teachers find themselves in the role of wanting their younger students even though they cant really help themselves they still fight their way through it regardless. Therefore I feel that Hector can not be seen just as a man but as a teacher figure head of those that struggle and do not wish to admit it to themselves I think it might even be common enough where teachers should have counselling sessions regarding these unwanted feelings, however yes we cannot say for sure that those are unwanted. I think that the film was extremely funny but had some serious moments and life changing decisions took place without anyone actually taking the first step to realizing the outcome of their moves.
