• We had to write a slave song mine's about leaving plantation and the way slaves were mistreated by their masters 

     

    Put your shovels to the side

    Imma make you feel alright 

    cause we're going to Egypt, yeah 

    Nigger join me to the station 

    It's time for you so action ! 

    If you want to be free

    It's time to follow me !

     

    Uh ! My life is so hard

    And the old pharaohs still playing cards

    I can't even walk

    And I swear man I can't even talk

    They force me to beat my brothers

    But I promise I will never surrender

    Come with me escape the Pharaoh  

    we'll dive under load of potatoes 

    I just want to save you from here

    If you stay you will regret it 

    Brother, it's time to follow me 

    Or old pharao will mistreat us 

    You better follow me 

    Follow me brother 

    Come with me and the shapards

    I don't really care where we going 

    But I know that if we don't 

    My bad if my Paraoh catch us 

    so come hurry up brother 

    Warn all of the people when we're going

    Watch the trailer undubbed

     

    Feel the slavery experience:

    As part of the english class sequence on the human reality of slavery, the english teachers decided to organise a school outing at the ciné 7 to watch a very moving film: ''Twelve years a slave'' by Steve Mc Queen. This film takes us into a total slavery immersion, through the character of Solomon Northup, a free black man who was living happily with his family when he was kidnapped and sold as a georgian slave. We followed him during the worst years of his life, during which he will be compared to a beast, exposed to harsh punishment and humiliations, injustices, betrayals and denouncements. We can almost say that we are living this events with him, because the movie director decided to take no prisonners with this film and to deliver the real truth about slavery, so this film gives the impression to feel what the character feels. Furthermore, and I may say "unfortunately", this film is very hard to watch because they are some very violent beating scenes which can shake people who are sensitive.But something very important that people must know about this film is that it is based on a true story and I promise you that it's a very good adaptation of Solomon Nothup book's. So now, let's talk about the characters and the actors who played them : 

     

    First ,let's talk about the incredible performance of Michael Fassbender as a slave owner , he was truly vicious and really convincing in this role and also his wife in the movie played by Sarah Paulson: she played the role of a horrible character who was mistreating her slaves. Both her and her husband  formed a really powerful couple of slave owners. Then comes the heroes of this movie : Chiwetel Eijiofor who played the role of Solomon Northup; he was really convincing and touching  as a free man who was kidnapped and turned into a slave. He played the most violent beating scenes and showed the reality of slaves. I think that he completely succeeded in paying tribute to Solomon Northup.  He incarnates this character perfectly.

    And Finally let's talk about Lupita Nyong'o , this young actress who just came out of the Yale Theater University and who never played in a movie before : she embodies perfectly the character of Patsey , a young slave lady who was abused by the slave owner and beaten by the wife of the slave owner because of jealousy , she was touching , moving,heartbreaking and really talented, which is why  her name shouldn't be forgotten.

    I'm pretty sure that's just the beginning of her long future career. To conclude, I recommend this film to everybody even if there are some violents scenes, because it is a real revelation, a touching film that makes us understand what the life of a slave  was by the perfect example of a man who fought all his unslaving period to keep believing in freedom.

  •    Last friday, we went watch a new movie : Babby-Sitting.

       Some people, thought that movie is a coppy of Very Bad Tripe in french. but against all odds, that's not the case. indeed, the scenario is totaly different, it's a mixe between Very Bad Tripe and Projet X because most of scenes are film with a simple camera and they do a big party. why french can't make this type of film ? why when a movie like that came out in french rooms every people say " That just a pure coppy ! french can't do new things." remenber LOL, the french movie, americans loved it so they decided to make a remake, why didn't they just traduce the orriginal ? this is a real coppy af a french movie by americans, think about this.

  • On the 5th of May took place the Young Talent Night

    During this time a lot of student shared their talent. It was really intersting. When I sang my song with Laurane I felt something I  never felt before. Singing in front of that much person was scared at first sight but then I let it go and honestly it was so much fun.

    My favorite performance was when Sarah sang Tourner dans le vide by Indila. Her voice is

    A-MA-ZIIIIIIIIIIIING !!!!!!

    This night was one of the best I've ever been to.

    I truly hope everybody liked it

    Congratulations to everybody that sang this night
