I really like the movie Madagascar, especially the penguins, they were adorable and funny, they always do something cool to trick the people on the road, they even stole a car in the middle of Africa.

Movie Review – Your Name (Kimi No Nawa) Article by: William https://b05029.wixsite.com/mysite
Japanese anime has a lot of good movies to watch, like the most famous movie by Hayao Miyazaki "Spirted away," most of Hayao Miyazaki projects are always on the top of the rank of a Japanese films. On October 21st, 2016, there was a Japanese phenomenon came to the big screen called "Your Name." This was the highest grossing film of that year, the movie made it to second place as top grossing movie in the history of Japanese films, quite an amazing feat. There are lots of comments about the movie, about 99% said it was really good. It's a beautiful and attractive movie, has good characters, the emotion is in good detail, the background music gives the full expression to the movie. Lastly, it has a strong ending to it, which makes people want to watch the movie again and again.
The meteoroids shoot down from the sky" I always feel I'm trying to search for something or someone." The story begins, it's talking about two characters. Mitsuha a high school girl who lives in Itomori, a quaint village in the Hida region of Japan. Taki is a kind of older boy living in Tokyo (Why do I say kind of? You will find out later). One day, Mitsuha woke up in Tokyo in the body of Taki, and on the other hand, Taki wakes up and looks down and see breasts. He’s in Mitsuha’s body. A lot of people besides them discuss that they are acting weird and strange, that's how the both of them know that they are switching bodies. They contact each other with smartphone messages and diaries to keep up with each other’s lives. Telling the other what he/she is doing when they are not inside their own body.
This kind of movie is fun to me because it lets the boys know what the girl’s life is like, also the girls know what the boy's life is like. It would be an interesting experience if it happened to me personally. Ok, back to the story. One day they didn't switch, Taki was worried about what had happened, but then Taki found out Mitsuha had died three years ago by the asteroid, which was shown at the beginning of the movie. That's why I said ‘kind of’ if it was in the same timeline Taki would be older than Mitsuha, but actually, Taki is younger than Mitsuha by three years. When I was watching this part, I was confused, so I watched it again and figured it out. After that, the story gets a little "magical" Taki went back in time and saved the village, but the consequence of this is forgetting about her. Of course, at last, they meet each other a few years later, asking each other "your name is…."
