“The Glenn Miller’s story” is a very funny, kind, bright film devoted to the personality of the most extraordinary musicians  of the twentieth century Glenn Miller . It is accompanied with beautiful music; everything is so colorfully shown and played. The actors James Stewart and June Allison were great in the presentation of their characters. Glenn and his wife Helen are very nice examples of the ideal couple: they were persistent, persevering, patient, kind, noble, honest and full of endless optimism. They inspired not only other characters but also us. That’s why we are not indifferent to the destiny of the characters of the film, which has opened up a whole gamut of emotions

1. Easy to watch.The speach of the charactors can be easily understood.

As a result - the mark of the film is 3- . as a studing material 5

[The phantom of the opera:
Impression:
It is the most lyrical, expressive and emotional film I have ever seen. I was lucky to see the true  love, which is very rare in the ordinary life .I got the best possible aesthetic pleasure from listening to the beautiful songs sung by very strong voices. But I pity the miserable Phantom, because all his life he was met with disgust and bad treatment. Only Christine understood his nature and her kiss was full of kin love and compassion. I have watched the film lots of times and I would watch it again, it will never bore me, but on the contrary, it pleases and relaxes my ear and evokes a gamut of emotions.

I watched the Glen Miller Story & I really enjoyed it. It shows mostly the positive features of the characters and we can't see in this movie typical anta-& protagonists. This film shows how difficult it is to become a true musician, to do what you really want and to make your dreams come true.  The main hero of the movie did succeed in reaching his goal, and his wife, who truly loved him, helped him and supported him in everything.
I think, it is a true-to-life movie, which recreates the events and some moments of Miller’s biography.

No reference to Amazon.com is relevant, as it is the biggest online shop. The link does not work, try it yourself.

The only thing it DOES have is Editorial Reviews

James Stewart, at his warmest and most avuncular, plays the bandleader who rocketed to fame during the swing era. The Glenn Miller Story may be a whitewashed version of Miller's life, but it certainly is a pleasant example of the feel-good Hollywood biopic, with the usual conventions: early struggles, loyal wife (June Allyson at her chirpiest), personal sacrifice--Miller joins the Army when war breaks out, although he doesn't have to--and ultimate tragedy. All the Glenn Miller classics filling the soundtrack make the film pretty easy to take, too: "Moonlight Serenade," "A String of Pearls," "Chattanooga Choo-Choo." Miller plays the great "In the Mood" with his military band during a World War II air-raid warning. Pure corn, but it works. Director Anthony Mann, better known for his superb series of hard-bitten fifties westerns with Stewart, keeps the story moving gently and gracefully. A hot jazz interlude features Louis Armstrong and Gene Krupa. --Robert Horton

I have already seen an interesting film about love and wishes of rich people. This film shows that every person can feel love but because of the cosiety the person can't relax and be satisfied by love. I suppose everyone should watch this film because of interesting characters, plot and costumes.

I saw a film yesterday, and it was rather interesting - about a girl, who had lost her brother and because of her brother's will she entered a musical academy. In my opinion people don't give up, they should live. This girl Teresa made the same. She began to live after her brother's death, as he wanted this.
I suppose everyone should watch this film because of its plot as it can help you to live longer even if yoi don't want to live at all.

I don't like the film The Glenn Miller's Story. I think it is too romantic and there are a lot of untruthful moments. Besides, i don't like the old films like that. At the same time this film is very tragic, the film about great love, great devotion and sacrifising. What is a pity that it is a great rarety today!

What is 'untruthful' about The Glenn Miller Story. When I first saw it,  I also thought that it was too good to be true and made a sort of investigation into the story. I WAS surprised to find out that it was based on real facts (up to the last detail) and is considered one of the best feature films about people who really lived.

There is nothing wrong with your links, in general!
What I meant is that one of your links, namely
http://www.amazon.com/Glenn-Miller-Story-James-Stewart/

opens the page with no information on, because Amazon.com is an on-line shop. Try it on your computer.
That's all.

Oksana, try to be specific about the films you review. Your post is so general that practically every film fits the description.

I’ve watched the film Raise your voice. It is a very teaching film, because it tries to show, that one should live his own life, and to teach on his own mistakes. Theresa, the main heroine, had a goal – to enter a musical Academy, but her father was against it, as he was afraid, that Theresa wouldn’t succeed in this profession. But the girl deceived the parent and ran away to this Academy, where she faced a lot of difficulties, but she didn’t lose her hope and continued to fight for her desired wish – to go out on the stage, to win the prize. And she succeeded, because she worked hard, and there were still people, who believed in her and supported Theresa. I think, the message of the film is not to lose your hope, and to be determined to achieve your goal.

I’ve seen the film “The Lizzie McGuire Movie”.
The Lizzie McGuire Movie is a comedy based on the Disney Channel show Lizzie McGuire . Thirteen-year-old Lizzie McGuire and her friends Gordo, Kate and Ethan are going on a trip with a class to Italy. But rather unexpected event happens with her there: Lizzie is mistaken for the Italian pop star Isabella, and besides the girl falls in love with Isabella’s former boyfriend. But Lizzie isn’t no longer a teenager with many complexes as she was before, she gets used to the role of the singer up to such an extent, as she actually becomes a real star.

“The Phantom of the Opera”.
My impression:
The Phantom of the Opera is an undeniably ageless, engrossing screen story. The film is full of drama, suspense, romance. May be lots of people expected it to be a horror film, but it's not. I think that this version is for romantic people. This film is beautiful, in the visual sense. The sets are sumptuous, the costumes are lavish, and the cinematography is glorious. But when you are watching this film, you not only enjoy the decorations but also beautiful strong voices and wonderful songs. It’s a very expressive and emotional film. Two hours and a half fly by practically imperceptibly. I watched this film on one breath. So I recommend everybody to watch this film, believe me it isn’t a waste of time.

The film I've seen is "In His Life:John Lennon Story". It's a kind of biography of one of the most famous musicians in the world, the member of the "Liverpool Four". It tells us the story of his life quite colourfully and compulsively.
While watching I've wondered whether the events of the film really happened or it was just imagination.Generally I liked the film and think it will give you the same pleasure.

Another film I've seen is "Glitter" with Mariah Carey. It is a story about a young girl who wants to become sucessful and famous. The story is based on Mariah's life and her way to  fame. To tell the truth I didn't like the story very much as I found it quite unreal and boring. Besides the actor's perfomance is not very impressive. So as Iwasn't much impressed I don't think I'll have the desire to watch this film again.

I have just watch the film «The Phantom of  the  Opera».Now I am under the deep impression because of the cast, which was selected very skillfully. The fact is that I liked The antagonist much more than the protagonist. He acted excellently and I must say, his voice is perfect. The ending of the film is rather sad. The phantom stayed alone, Christine and the protagonist didn’t die the same day. That’s   why I am in bad mood now.

I've just watched the film"Glitter".I have never seen such a borring movie before.I didn't like the acting of M.Carry.If I were Stanislavski, I would say:"I don't believe".It is just a story that reminds M.Carry's life story.
