Angelina Jolie

age
Angelina Jolie is a famous American actress. She was born on June 4th, 1975, in Los Angeles, in
the fainily of actors. Her parents separated when she was little. Her mother had to take care of
two children: Angelina and her brother James. She often watched movies with children and that
awakened Angelina's interest in acting. She received numerous awards, including three Golden
Globe Awards. But acting is not all she does.
Angelina also became a producer, screenwriter and filmmaker. Her humanitarian work is also
worth noting. She is a UN goodwill ambassador. Jolie repeatedly visited poor countries and
donated money to help refugees. The actress, furthermore, has six children. She gave birth to
three of them in her marriage to Brad Pitt. The other three were adopted. I wonder how she
manages everything. My favorite movie with Jolie is Maleficent. She is good at playing a
complex
and
controversial
characters.
This beautiful woman has a lot of fans around the world. I think she will continue to make
headlines in the future.

One of my favourite Disney cartoon films is “Finding Nemo”. I’m sure that all the kids have seen this sweet movie. I saw it for the first time when I was 6 years old and that was the only cartoon which I wanted to watch every day. So I can say that I grew up with this amazing story.

“Finding Nemo” is a cartoon movie with a breathtaking plot and the splendid animation from Pixar studio. It makes me laugh and cry. Some scenes are frightening and sad, the others are funny and very educational.

“Finding Nemo” is a heart-warming story of father and son clownfish who lived in their beautiful coral home but one day were separated by a diver. Nemo was taken across the ocean and placed in an aquarium tank at the dentist’s office. So his brave and loving father, Marlin starts his adventurous journey to find and rescue the missing son.

The underwater world of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef is really amazing and full of funny characters: vegetarian sharks, hungry seagulls, sea turtles, jellyfish and a forgetful blue tang fish Dora. I learnt a lot of interesting facts about different sea creatures and the life in the ocean from this cartoon.

I’ve seen the movie countless times and I always watch it again when they show it on TV. I’m sure I’ll never be too old to enjoy it because the main message of “Finding Nemo”, to my mind, is that your family and friendship will always help you overcome all problems. Besides, this is the best father-and-son animated story for me.
