    How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days

    ★★★★

    I finally watched How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, and I have to say—it’s a fun, lighthearted rom-com that still holds up!

    This film struck a deeply personal chord with me. Growing up, I…

    Review of The Pianist

    Watching The Pianist was a deeply eye-opening experience for me. I had always heard about the atrocities of the Holocaust, but this film made it painfully real and personal. I was especially struck by how brutally the Nazis dehumanized and persecuted Jewish people—it was heartbreaking to witness the suffering depicted.

    I must admit, there was a time when I didn’t fully understand the gravity of what happened during that period. I even made light of it…
