Introduction!

I'm Danielle and I can't wait to share my thoughts and perspectives about movies!

A little bit more about my love for the movies:

 I have lots of favorite movies from different genres, but I really love "Casablanca," "Pride and Prejudice (2005)," and "Stardust." These films are some of my top films that I still watch from this day and I never get tired of them.

One of my favorite quotes in film is "Here's looking at you, kid." -Rick from Casablanca.

When I characterize a movie a "great film," it must transport me into a whole new world. The film also must create realistic emotions the audience can relate to. Lastly, the film must have thoughtful film subtext in plot and film techniques.
