3-.Author's name: Alyssa Jung
4-.Before you read, look at the picture(s) if any, as well as the title. What do you think the article will be about?
I think the article would be about movies that were not well received by the public, or perhaps because they received many negative reviews before the premiere, and perhaps also for their aggressiveness without censorship, these were prohibited.
5-.Read the article and describe what you understand of it in as much detail as possible.
In this article you can know what "The Black List" means? Well, first of all, we know that each year is celebrated the award of the films best views, but since 2006, the "Black List" ah stopped films which were more popular, but finally Hollywood executives didn't stopped.
In 2012 the "Black List" pushed aside this order and this freed these movies, because movies that are in this list doesn't necessarily ever reach the big screen, however these could surprise.
For example we mention three films which could hit theaters:
• Rodham: This film is a drama, because the protagonist has to choose between marrying and politics.
• Rabbit JoJo: This film is a tragedy, because in the world war, there are people who risk their life to save another person.
• Draft Day: This film is a drama, because the protagonist lives difficult moments before a large company
In conclusion serious question: Would you like to see movies that are in the "Black List"?
