اوكي ولايهمك راح اساعدك ملخص خمس افلام بلغه الانجليزيه
الفلم الاول:
THE FILM: "Frownland, written and directed by Ronald Bronstein
ملخص الفلم:
CLOSER LOOK: Unsettling, yet intriguing film following a few days in the life of a psychologically unstable young man as he veers towards a breakdown. Keith Sontag (Dore Mann), pathologically unable to communicate with others, shares his tiny apartment with a completely obnoxious roommate, and works at one of the most pathetic and hopeless jobs ever - selling coupon books door-to-door for a bullying boss. Mann's performance is really solid - he's one to watch, as is director Bronstein, who shows originality and promise. The other people we meet in the film each have their own issues: Keith's suicidal friend Laura (Mary Wall) spends the first ten minutes of the film crying incoherently and trying to make herself have an allergic reaction to a pillow; later we see her drawing cartoons of various ways she might take her life. Keith's musician roommate is incapable of communicating with others without resorting to rudeness and sarcasm - one can well imagine him as one of those know-everything smartasses who revel in leaving scathing remarks about grammar and syntax errors on people's personal blogs. It's excrutiatingly painful watching Keith try desperately to communicate, and yet you can't help but be drawn to him. In spite of some rough edges, the filmmaker's potential shows through, especially with some great dialogue. The film drags a bit at times and the camera puts you so up close and personal with Keith that it makes you feel uncomfortable; you want to turn away out of politeness due to Keith's suffering, and yet his struggles draw you inexorably into his story.

الفلم الثااني:
THE FILM: "August The First," directed by Lanre Olabis
الملخص:
CLOSER LOOK: Tunde (Ian Alsup, in a solid debut turn) has graduated from college, and to celebrate he's invited a special guest - prodigal father Dipo, who abandoned Tunde, his mother, his brother and sister to move back to Nigeria over ten years earlier. Welcomed only by Tunde, Dipo must face the family he abandoned in an uncomfortable homecoming, while each of the family members, faced with the father and husband who left them behind, must confront complicated feelings about Dipo as they are forced to interact with him or ruin Tunde's party. Like any good dysfunctional family, Tunde's family is full of interpersonal conflicts and drama: Tunde's older brother, Ade, bears hidden resentment over having been made the man of the family at too early an age; his sister, Simisola is hiding a secret from her older husband; his mother Rhonda drowns her anxiety about the reunion with her estranged husband in alcohol; and Dipo himself may have motives other than his son's graduation for making the trip from Nigeria. All these conflicts are brought into play as a tense afternoon wanes into a climactic evening, culminating in a revelation that will challenge everything Tunde thought he knew about his father.
FEST LOVE: Urbanworld Film Festival (audience award); San Francisco Black Film Festival (best feature film). Official selection: SXSW Film Festival, Karlovy Vary International Film Festival; Philadelphia Film Festival.

الفلم الثالث:
THE FILM: "Mississippi Chicken," Directed by John Fiege
ملخص الفلم:
CLOSER LOOK: A scathing docu mentary about the plight of immigrant laborers recruited to the South to work in poultry factories, this film is what Linklater's "Fast Food Nation" could have been, had it stuck more to the format of the book on which it was based. "Mississippi Chicken" follows the interaction and relationship between Anita, an idealistic young woman working to improve the plight of the exploited immigrants, and Guillermina, a resident of a dilapidated immigrant trailer park who scrapes out a living running an off-the-record restaurant out of her roach-infested trailer with her teenage daughter as she struggles to raise the money to bring her other daughters up from Mexico. A powerful indictment of the plight of migrant workers, "Mississippi Chicken" is a wrenching look at what it's like at the bottom of the labor food chain. Shot on 8mm, the film has a gorgeous, saturated, old home-movie look that brings the heat of the southern summer to life on the screen.
FEST LOVE: Official selection: New York International Latino Festival; Austin Film Festival, Miami International Film Festival, Universal Forums of Cultures, African Diaspora Film Festival, and Providence Latin American Film Festival.
