Movie Time #66: You Hurt My Feelings (2023)

▶️ Today's movie is about an American family faced with (=having to deal with) the devastating (=destroying) effects of white lies (=small lies to please people). It's a good glimpse (=insight) into contemporary (=of today) American culture in which you always have to look enthusiastic (=positive and energetic) and say positive things, even when you have negative thoughts.

Movie Time #67: Boyhood (2014)

▶️ Today’s film is a drama and it’s a little bit special. It took 11 years to make because the director wanted to show the main character growing up without choosing different actors. The plot is decidedly random as the film provides a deeper glimpse (=quick look) into American society.

Movie Time #68: The Founder (2016)

▶️ Today’s film is a drama about the humble beginnings of fast food giant (=huge figure) McDonald’s and how one man managed to turn it from an ordinary place into today’s multi-billion dollar business. It’s a film about the American Dream, a man’s relentless (=persistent, not giving up) pursuit of (=search for) success and the essence (=innermost quality) of capitalism.
