Most heartbreaking movie I've ever seen. I was absolutely devastated when Ben died. When Otis hold ben in his arms as he dies, tears roll down my cheeks. When the animals come together to mourn at his funeral, tears roll down my cheeks. When Otis has a flashback of their memories together, tears roll down my cheeks. When Otis fights the coyotes, as ben sings 'I won't back down' in the background, tears roll down my cheeks. Side Note: Mrs Beady is a M1LF ;)

Hands down the best film I have ever seen. No other film could ever compete with this masterpiece. I learnt a lot from this movie It completely changed my outlook on the way I treat people, especially tall people. I wasn't aware of how hard life is for them, and I am so ashamed by how I used to treat them. The film follows the story of a teenage girl, Jodi, who struggles to deal with the daily oppression she faces as a Tall person, specifically a Tall Girl. Everyday she is ridiculed for something she can't change, she didn't choose to be the way she is, it's just who she is. It must be so hard for her and other people like her. Whenever someone asked her "How's the weather up there" it broke my heart. I almost burst into tears when she said "you think your life is hard? I'm a Highschool junior wearing size 13 Nikes. Men's size 13 Nikes. Beat That." It's truly heartbreaking, and I think it's so wonderful a film like this is bringing light to the issue of discrimination against tall people. Spreading awareness so other people like her don't have to feel so ashamed and embarrassed of who they are. Throughout the movie we really see her character development. At the beginning off the film she is a shy closed of girl, but overtime she gains confidence in who she is as a person and doesn't let her height define her as a person. She learns to embrace herself and not care about how others view her, because she knows who she is and realizes she's more than just a "tall girl". I think her speech at the end of the movie was super important. " I get it I'm tall... It's the thing that's haunted me my entire life. Its defined me, but I think its time I come up with a new definition. I'm So much more than just a tall girl, I'm a sister, I'm a bestfriend...I'm smart, I'm fun and I've made mistakes...I play piano, and I'm really good at it. Being tall is actually what makes me, me. I like me, you should like you. We're all good enough, and once you realize this no one can take it away.. Keep asking me how the weather is... Because the weather up here is pretty great." Together we can learn so much from her speech. It is so inspiring and teaches us that we shouldn't be ashamed by our identity, we are who we are and we should embrace it.

Amazing film about a boy who makes paper planes. After watching this film I felt like a different person, it was so inspiring and changed my perspective on life. It tells the story of a young boy, Dylan, who has a passion for making paper planes, which stems from the few memories he has with his late mother. His interests in making paper planes results in him joining a paper plane competition. Along his journey he encounters different people who inspire him in making the perfect plane. At the same he struggles to gain the attention of his grieving father who shows no interest in his successes in the competition. In the final part of the competition Dylan creates an absolute beast of a plane, the other contestants could honestly never, they wish. As his plane is flying around, everyone cheers for him, as he has won the competition (as he should). The plane finally stops and his dad catches it, Dylan runs up to his dad and hugs him. At this point tears were rolling down my face, I could not control myself. Then I turned off the TV and evaluated my life. I asked myself this question, did I really just sit there and cry about a movie about paper planes?? Then I carried on with my life.

One of the greatest rom coms of all time. Absolute masterpiece. Very iconic film. When Josie said "I'm not Josie Grossie anymore" I really felt that because I'm not Josie Grossie either. The emotion displayed in that scene, cinematic masterpiece. The flashback scene of her prom night was so tragic. It was heartbreaking to watch. Tears formed in my eyes as I witnessed that scene :(. In the scene where she waits for him in the stadium, i was on the edge of my seat. I sat there questioning is he gonna show up? is he not gonna show up? Omg where is he? and then he showed up and she got the kiss, and i felt at peace. Then i turned off the TV and went on with my life. Overall, really good movie such a masterpiece.
