Beauty and the Beast
2 hr 10 min
2017
This is a live version of the cartoon movie Beauty and the Beast (1991). Belle is the smartest woman in the time period she lives because her father teachers her to read. In the time period in which this movie takes place women did not have the right to have a education. Belle goes against what society says about women having an education to show that not everyone has to be the same because if every person was the same the world would be different. This movie has great morals behind it as well. The moral of this movie is that beauty is not what is on the outside but what is on the inside. The other moral is that everyone can change if you know the right people. All of the furniture and appliances along with the enchanted rose shows the audience that there is only so much time before you lose everything when you have a negative attitude.
Everything, Everything
1 hr 36 min
2017
This movie is about a girl, Maddy, who gets told by her mother that she is not allowed to go outside because of her medical condition. Her medical condition makes her unable to go outside or else she will get sick and possibly die. Her medical condition is Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID). SCID is an actual disease that was not made up in the movie. If you like to read Everything, Everything is also a book. The book is by Nicola Yoon.
