My Favourite Book and Film

Hello people, today I going to write you about my favourite book and film.

When I was 13 years old I read my first book for pleasure which was Harry Potter and Philosopher´s Stone, then continue with the all saga, and of course I saw all the movies, even I have my collection of Harry Potter objects…yes! I´m a Potterhead! But although I´m a fan of this saga, my favourite book is pride and prejudice and my favourite film is Belle.

The first time I read Pride and Prejudice (written by wonderful Jane Austen) I was 15 years old, and I read it because it is almost a family tradition…only of women obviously since it is romantic novel, which tells the story of Elizabeth Bennet who learns the error of making hasty judgments and comes to appreciate the difference between the superficial and the essential, all this he learns when he realizes that he is in love with the perfect Mr.Darcy, who was a rich and powerful man with a lot of pride , who did not want to fall in love with a poor woman like Elizabeth and less to have a kinship with her family. This book is not just a romantic story, but it tells you about an empowered woman in a time where women were despised.

On the other hand , my favourite film is Belle (yes! I really like the stories of another time) tells the story of Dido Belle who was born in the West Indies and was the illegitimate mixed race daughter of Sir Jhon Lindsay who leaves her to the care of her uncles.

The fictional film centres on Dido relationship whit and aspiring lawyer the Sir Davinier it is set at a time of legal significance, as a court case is heard on what became know as the Zong Massacre, when slaves were thrown overboard from a slave ship. You have to see this film because it shows you how a woman mixed race must face the discrimination of society, a strong woman who learned to accept her origins even when everyone told her that it was as abomination.
