The Stories Behind Movies

  As you may know Netflix has produced a Series based on Selena during her up-rise to fame as the icon she is today. The series itself wasn't very well it didn't emulate the personality and charisma that Selena is known to have, she was very unsure of herself, shy and timid.

The commitment and strive to want to be successful, the downfall of struggling to come up with successful songs

Batman is a superhero with no superpowers, gadgets, intelligence and the motive to protect the innocent from crime with law and order. On the other hand Joker believes in a world of chaos and that people are condemned to fall apart of they're nature to resist order and overlook the protagonist.  Batman is the main protagonist in the story line and is driven to serve justice after the guilt and traumatic experience of losing both his parents when they were gunned down in the streets of Gotham, this led to the tran

Quentin Tarantino is a well known film maker that is known for his films to be unpredictable and violent films. He first earned widespread fame for "Pulp Fiction" before directing "Inglorious Bastards" and "Django Unchained" Personally, his films are a cultural classic and entertaining with great memorable dialogue that sparks conversation and are always circling social norms.

Superheros have distilled entertainment to generations of comic book lovers and has stood the test of time by dominating the cinema industry.
