It takes us through the dizzying heights of the initial fall, of the tentative beginnings of adoration, before tearing it all apart by reminding us that we are, after all, fickle beings; we can fall out of love just as quickly as we fall in it. \u00d4\u00c7\u00ff<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Her<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8216; had a pretty huge impact on me, having watched it for the first time at seventeen, full of idealism, as it destroyed all my woozy, romantic illusions and showed me that nothing can ever, really, last. \u00d4\u00c7\u00ff<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Her<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8216; challenged my dreamy idealism and forced me to look inwardly, at my own relationships, and at what I wanted.

What made this film so different,\u252c\u00e1and\u252c\u00e1so intriguing for me, is that the sole focus is on the two female protagonists, who often embody stereotypically masculine attributes when confronted in dangerous scenarios. Along the journey, we witness their character development as they encounter these various dangerous situations,\u252c\u00e1and\u252c\u00e1together become stronger\u252c\u00e1and\u252c\u00e1wiser women. The manner in which the two women are shown to constantly support each other through difficult ordeals such as rape was especially inspiring to me as a child as it highlighted the strength of women\u252c\u00e1and\u252c\u00e1how we should always support one another. The very direct address of the rape itself is incredibly dark,\u252c\u00e1and\u252c\u00e1represents issues which are still so relevant today, in particular when\u252c\u00e1Thelma\u252c\u00e1states that &#8220;<em>They would have made out like I asked for it<\/em>&#8220;, when the girls contemplate telling the police, but fear that they would not be taken seriously. It is this portrayal of women in the film which inspired me to always see women as strong\u252c\u00e1and\u252c\u00e1independent. A personal favourite quote is\u252c\u00e1&#8221;<em>You say you&#8217;re sorry or I&#8217;m gonna make you fuckin sorry<\/em>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Joanne Brockbank<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/10\/LittleMissSunshineCast.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-12990\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/10\/LittleMissSunshineCast-300x229.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"452\" height=\"345\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/10\/LittleMissSunshineCast-300x229.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/10\/LittleMissSunshineCast-74x55.jpg 74w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/10\/LittleMissSunshineCast.jpg 388w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 452px) 100vw, 452px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>There are so many things I love about the film, &#8216;<em><span class=\"il\">Little<\/span>\u252c\u00e1<span class=\"il\">Miss<\/span>\u252c\u00e1<span class=\"il\">Sunshine<\/span><\/em>.&#8217; From the soundtrack to the acting, it&#8217;s a perfect combination of quirky and comedic. But the thing I love the most about the 2006 film is definitely the message it sends. In a world full of ridiculous beauty standards and outdated female obligations, the films main character, 10-year-old Olive, does her own thing and simply doesn&#8217;t care about the fact that she&#8217;s surrounded by hyper-sexualised youngsters, drowning in fake eyelashes and satin dresses. If you haven&#8217;t seen the film it follows the story of Olive and her family as they go on a journey that allows them to not only discover themselves but also connect with one another. The message is just as relevant 11 years later and not only that but it&#8217;s a damn good watch!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sarah Harris<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/10\/Pride-main-xlarge_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqtGQB12KHxxQCrwnTZkX0nwgWqwm85JEWpGVhFb46TTg.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-12992\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/10\/Pride-main-xlarge_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqtGQB12KHxxQCrwnTZkX0nwgWqwm85JEWpGVhFb46TTg-300x187.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"470\" height=\"293\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/10\/Pride-main-xlarge_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqtGQB12KHxxQCrwnTZkX0nwgWqwm85JEWpGVhFb46TTg-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/10\/Pride-main-xlarge_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqtGQB12KHxxQCrwnTZkX0nwgWqwm85JEWpGVhFb46TTg-768x479.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/10\/Pride-main-xlarge_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqtGQB12KHxxQCrwnTZkX0nwgWqwm85JEWpGVhFb46TTg-1024x639.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/10\/Pride-main-xlarge_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqtGQB12KHxxQCrwnTZkX0nwgWqwm85JEWpGVhFb46TTg.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 470px) 100vw, 470px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The most beautiful and inspiring moment in a film for me, is the scene in &#8216;<em>Pride<\/em>&#8216; where the local people of the Dulais Valley sing \u00d4\u00c7\u00ffBread and Roses&#8217;, a traditional poem and song associated with a political slogan of the same name. &#8216;<em>Pride<\/em>&#8216; depicts the struggles of both the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender society and the mining communities in South Wales at the time, and how they come together to overcome exclusion and unhappiness in their minorities. The song was associated with the 1912 textile strike in Massachusetts where the phrase \u00d4\u00c7\u00ffbread and roses&#8217; was used to represent fair wages and dignified conditions, both of which mining and LGBT communities lacked. The song&#8217;s lyrics originated from a speech given by Rose Schneiderman, a socialist and a feminist, and it is because of how fundamental these values are to me as a person, as well as my Welsh heritage, that created a sense of joy and passion when I first heard the line \u00d4\u00c7\u00ff<em>the worker must have bread, but she must have roses, too<\/em>&#8216; in full chorus. The power of history and music coming together in this scene undoubtedly highlights the significant steps forward we must take in society to embrace others.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Rachael Hutchings<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/10\/4_hobbits.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-12993\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/10\/4_hobbits.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"414\" height=\"281\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The &#8216;<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lord of the Rings&#8217;<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> films have always been dear to me but it wasn&#8217;t until I re-watched &#8216;<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Fellowship of the Ring&#8217;<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in 2015 that the film changed my whole outlook. After struggling with a particularly nasty bout of anxiety, I curled up to watch the movie in hopes that it would cheer me up. As well as being comforted I also received an unexpected life lesson from Gandalf. In a moment of doubt, Frodo admits to Gandalf that he wishes &#8216;<em>none of this had happened<\/em>&#8216;, to which Gandalf replies;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8216;<em>So do all who live to see such times.
