Reception theory refers to how a person connects with and relates to a film on an emotional level based on their own life experiences and personality. Certain genres appeal more to some people depending on what they enjoy. A film is more likely to be liked if it communicates in a way that emotionally resonates with the viewer's life in some way. For example, romance films try to relate to peoples' romantic experiences to make them connect more. Comedies also do this by depicting funny real-life situations people may have experienced. The film "Meet the Parents" is an example that uses reception theory by depicting a relatable scenario of meeting a partner

Film reviews
- 1. August: Ostage County (2013) Juan Fries The film August was directed by John Wells. He describes his film as “a pitch black comedy-drama”. The cast is headed by Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts and Ewant McGregor. The script for August was adapted by the author of the play, Tracy Letts, who won a Pulitzer Prize of the same name. The film is set in the deep Oklahoma during an extremely hot week in the summer. The plot is about trouble relationships between a hasty mother and her three daughters when their father disappears and finally commits suicide. One particular strength of this movie are its dialogues and the fight between Violet, suffering from cancer of the mouth, drug addiction and an embittered personality versus her daughter Barbara, nearly as embittered as her mum. I highly recommend August to anyone who is interested in psychology and psychotic relationships between different characters. My only criticism of the movie is the absolute lack of hope.
- 2. LOVE ACTUALLY Leonor Benítez Love Actually is a rom-com. It was directed and written by Richard Curtis in 2003. He is well-known in UK for directing or writing great successful films like Four weddings and a funeral, Notting Hill or Mr. Bean. One particular strength of the film was the cast. There were a lot of famous actors and actresses like Emma Thompson, Hugh Grant, Keyra Knightley, Bill Nighy and so on. The film was nominated in different categories by BAFTA awards, but only Bill Nighy won for the best actor in a supporting role. Most of the film was shot on location in London (Trafalgar Square, Heathrow Airport, Tate Gallery...) The plot is a mixture among different love stories and it´s set before, during and after Christmas time. Here there are some love stories of the film: one is about a just married couple, whose best friend fall in love with the young wife, another story is about an elderly married couple, whose husband is cheating on his wife, in addition to this, there is a love story between the Prime Minister and his secretary. But, in my opinion, the best story in the film is the funny relationship between an ageing pop-rock legend and his manager. Personally, I think it´s a definite must-see in Christmas season and I strongly recommend it because it´s an amusing and funny film about different kinds of love. When you are upset you must watch it because it has a positive message.
- 3. Wadja, a Saudi Arabian – German film Esther Martínez Wadja is the name of the lead character, as also, the original name of the film. It was translated as “The green bicycle”. It is a 2012 Saudi Arabian- German film written and directed by Haifaa al-Mansour. It was the first feature film shot entirely in Saudi Arabia and made by a female Saudi director. It won numerous awards at film festivals. It stars Reem Abdullah as Mather and Waad Mohammed as Wadja. The film is about an 11 year-old Saudi girl who lives in the capital and dreams of buying a green bicycle that she sees in a store every day when she goes to school. She wants to win a race against her friend Abdulah. Wadja’s mother doesn´t want to buy the bicycle because riding bikes “is not for girls” in their country. At the same time Wadja’s father was thinking of taking a second wife to have a son. Wadja decided to earn money to buy the bicycle selling several things to her classmates, but it is not enough, so she decided to participate in a Quran recital competition. The prize will allow her to buy the bike. The girl won the competition, but when she announced to her headmistress what is she going to do with the money, the headmistress decided to donate it to Palestine. When Wadja returns home, she discovered that her father had taken a second wife and that her mother has bought the green bicycle for her. In the end Wadja wins the race against Abdulah. I recommend this film because speaks about the freedom and the bravery of women in a culture where girls are nothing and men use women for having children and cook.
- 4. A FILM REVIEW: THE WIZARD OF OZ José Antonio Ponce Real “The Wizard of Oz” is an American fantasy film based on the book “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” by Lyman Frank Baum. The film was directed by Victor Fleming. It stars Judy Garland as Dorothy and Frank Morgan as the wizard. The film won two Oscars in 1939 for Best Song (Over the rainbow) and Best Music. The Wizard of Oz was shot in California (USA) and is set in Kansas (USA) in the early 1900´s. The film is about Dorothy, an orphan girl who lives with her aunt and uncle in Kansas. One day she and her dog Toto are caught by a tornado and Dorothy’s house (with them) is transported to another world: Oz. The Land of Oz is inhabited by fantastic and strange beings: witches, winged monkeys, unicorns… On her arrival, Dorothy is received by the Good Witch of the North and the Munchkins, little people who live in Oz. They were happy because Dorothy’s house had flattened and killed the Wicked Witch of the East. Dorothy is considered a heroine but she wishes to get back home and see her family. The Good Witch of the North tells Dorothy that the Wizard of Oz, who lives in Emerald City, might be able help her. Dorothy was very happy and decided to go to there, immediately. She and Toto have to follow a yellow brick road to Emerald City. On her way to Emerald City, Dorothy will meet friends: the scarecrow, the tin man and the cowardly lion. They also want to ask the Wizard of Oz for their wishes and they decide to join her and help each other. Dorothy and her new friends will live a lot of adventures on their way to Emerald City. I loved “The Wizard of OZ” when I was child. It’s one of the first films I saw. I strongly recommend it. The film has a wonderful soundtrack and the song “Over the rainbow” is very popular. There are a lot of sequels of The Wizard of Oz, but none managed to surpass the original film.
