The film is recorded with the intention of making people understand that we aren’t all equal. Also, the story is wonderfull because in real life, the main actor has suffered a lot ot discrimination but nevertheless has managed to get ahead. The other actors give a brillant performance.

I recommend this movie because it has a lot of messages of self improvement, acceptance and respect for others especially people who have some type of disabillity. Also, the story is very nice for its content and characters. Don’t miss it!

FREEDOM OF FASHION

I agree people judge others by the way they dress for example, if we look at someone with a old leather jacket we will that this person like the rock, also if we look at someone with baggy we will this person is a rapper. in this society of the 21st century fashion has a great influence on how we look at And how we treat and are treated by people.'' “the way you look, the way you are treated”'' An example of this Have to do with the police. with the police if they see someone badly dressed they stop and interrogate this person., but if they see someone well dressed nothing happens. we think for example that people who dress well are people who do nothing wrong but for example our politicians are people with expensive and very nice dress but in some cases these people are not the best to represent the people. fashion at this time is very important, also the people that are in fashion are usually people from the TV, film and artists who in many cases people will want be.

Food for thought 1

Fashion has always been considered as a role model in society especially by adolescents because for them one of the most important things is their physical appearance. In my opinion I do not agree with this without society juzge to each of the people by their dress or appearance, but without the need to look like anyone else. The role of models and brands of clothing are known reasons for people based on appearances and prototypes which in turn lead them to perform cosmetic surgeries to feel better about themselves.

Fashion

The fashion are those trends repetitive, whether clothing, accessories, lifestyles and ways of behaving, that make or modify the behavior of a person. The fashion in terms of clothes, is defined as those mass trends and genres that people adopt or stop using.
