Classroom diary

We made a comic strip. It is a woman in the 1950's. She have a date with her boyfriend. He calls her.

Man: Hi honey ! Are you ready ?!

Mother: You will be late !

Woman: I'm getting dress quickly

Later when they met.

Woman: Where are we going ?

The man kept the secret.

He took her tho the restaurant.

They discussed quietly.

Woman: So, how are you ?

Man: Fine and you?

Everything was well but at the moment when the waiter brought the bill :

Man: I'm sorry I forgot my credit card

And he left. The woman was angry!.

The waiter: Miss, you have to pay ...

Today we have seen a piece of the film (3min) nommed  Logorama. I will tell more about it.

It is a modern cartoon, a french short film (around 16 minutes) written and directed by François Alaux, Hervé de Crécy and Ludovic

 Houplain.

The scene take place in America, Los Angeles in Malibu , more presisely in the street and in the zoo.

It is an invented story. The atmosphere is with lot of brands (=logos) , mascots, all is exagerated, it's a caricature.

It's fantastic, science fictional, realistic but exagerated.

The protagonists are Michelin (the two policemen (=cops) ), and Ronald Mc Donald who is the villain. They do a race poursuite with the

 police cruiser.

We can see equally lot of the logos like: the butterflies of MSN, Mr Clean the zoo guide, the big boy and Haribo the zoo visitors, the

 pringles mascot the truck driver and at last Esso girl the waitress.

I really like this film because it is very fun and I have lot laugh.

                                                                          Vocabulaire , définition:

1) A film in which the well known corporate brands and their logos have become heroes

2) A film with all the characteristics (or stereotypes) of a scifi movie

3) It is as if the logos as been caricatured and were given a new freedom of speech

4) It seems to be an anti capitalist movie but in fact it is just that the directors are fond of logos

5) The characters have been inspired from famous characters in popular movies

6) the scene take place in L.A where all of the buildings and the inhabitants are some form of commercial branding

This is a quote :

I am

I am the person you bullied at school
I am the person who didn't know how to be cool
I am the person that you alienated
I am the person you ridiculed and hate

I am the person who sat on her own
I am the person who walked home alone
I am the person you scared everyday
I am the person who had nothing to say

I am the person with hurt in his eyes
I am the person you never saw cry
I am the person living alone with his fears
I am the person destroyed by his peers

I am the person who drowned in your scorn
I am the person who wished she hadn't been born
I am the person you destroyed for 'fun'
I am the person, but not the only one.

I am the person whose name you don't know
I am the person who just can't let go
I am the person who had feelings, too
                      And I was a person, just like you.
