THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT

Last week I decided to go to the cinema alone. I really like doing that because nobody disturbs you while you are watching the film. I wasn’t sure what film to see, but finally I made my mind up and went to watch “the kids are all right”.

This film is about a family, a couple and their two children. This family is not the one which appears in all the movies, there’s a lesbian couple who got the two children –a girl, Joni, and a boy, Laser- by artificial insemination. Apparently this is a perfect family, but while the film is going on we can see that they have some problems.

The film starts when the family is having dinner to celebrate Joni’s 18th birthday. Because she’s 18 she can contact her father and Laser asks her to do that for him because he’s still a minor. Finally, they get in touch with him without telling anything to their mums.

This movie is directed by Lisa Cholodenko, and it has been nominated for four Oscars including best actress and best film. From my point of view this film is really funny, with a great story and also a great cast. But not enough to be nominated for the Oscars.

In my opinion there are a lot of beautiful places to visit in the United States of America, and I find it really difficult to choose just one.That’s why I’ve decided to talk about some of them.

On the one hand I would like to visit big cities like New York or San Francisco. I think that if you go to the USA it’s obligatory to see the typical skyscrapers. In New York City there are different things to see and do, but there are a few attractions like no other. Any visit to New York City is not complete without visiting the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty and the Ellis Island Immigration Museum. San Francisco is endless in terms of places to see and things to do. Two of the best-known tourist destinations in San Francisco are Chinatown and Fisherman's Wharf. The three most recognizable San Francisco city icons are the Golden Gate Bridge, the pyramid shaped Transamerica Tower and the cable cars.

On the other hand, I really like going to small towns because I think that they have something different. What I mean is that all the towns and the people who lives there are different from each other. These towns don’t have the big skyscrapers or wonderful museums, but they have beautiful sights and really nice people.

To finish, I love travelling and although I’ve never been in the US I think that it’s a good place to go travelling. I’m sure that I’ll go there more than once.
