3rd film; Hancock!


Hi! So today I’m going to talk about a film that I saw with Clara, so she will probably talk about it to! So don’t be surprised if she does…

I’m going to talk about a film called Hancock, it’s not a very old film and it came out recently in the summer. The main character in this film is a very famous actor called Will Smith and he’s got the power of a superhero.
Hancock is no ordinary superhero. He’s different from all the others just because he’s not the typical hero that saves the day, quite the other way around, he does save people in trouble but he doesn’t seem to respect society or the damage he does to the city, he’s a free man and he does what he wants.
He doesn’t wear an outfit and he is all day drinking bottles of whisky so when he flies into the sky he doesn’t really seem to go that straight.
Everyone in the city hates him because he doesn’t really help anyone he is just more trouble than needed in the city causing a lot of damage making the economy go down because they spend millions of dollars of damage every time he does something.
The problem with Hancock is that he feels alone because he is the only one of his kind that lives in planet Earth and he doesn’t have any kind of communication with anyone else but him self.
He also doesn’t really know who he is, he doesn’t know the purpose of him being there, he thinks to him self; Am I a God? An Angel? Or am I a Superhero? What am I? ..

Everything gets better when he comes across a man that he saves, he is a business man and he is trying to change the world for all the poor countries. This man is very polite to him and he invites him to have dinner at his. Once Hancock is there, he doesn’t get a good impression from the man’s wife (something between them is weird)! He does have a good bond with the man’s child. The child thinks the world of Hancock, like the best man in the world.
The man has a plan. Help Hancock being a better person and then that would help the man’s dream come true, so he does. The man makes Hancock go into prison and there he teaches him how to be a respectful hero and he even gets a costume for him that he first denies but then accepts, the people start to like Hancock

As the film goes on we realize that Hancock and the man’s wife, in the past had a life together thousands of years ago because they are immortal and they never ever get old. The woman was Hancock’s past wife and they both have the superpowers. Hancock cannot remember the past because 80 years ago, they beat him up so hard that he fell unconscious and once awake at the hospital he didn’t recognize the woman, so she left him there.
When they’re together they become immortal, and that allows them to live a normal life, the can love and grow old like normal people.
The film ends that Hancock is beaten up again and shot down by some criminals and like he is close to the woman he becomes mortal, Both Hancock and the woman start to die because what ever happens to Hancock happens to her as well…
The film ends when they are about to die, Hancock gets up and starts to run, jump and fly away from her in a lot of pain, but every step he takes the more life he gains because the further apart they are to each other the more immortal they become.

I really enjoyed this film; I think that it was great because it was very different from all the other superhero films and Will Smith made it very funny.
