In the movie 'What dreams my come,' Chris and Annie meet in a lake and he falls in love for her. They get married and have two children. One morning the children go to school with a neighbor and Marie and Ian die in an accident. Four years later, Annie needs some paintings for an exposition, but she can't take them. Annie asks Chris to take the pictures. In the way, Chris dies in an accident too. He doesn't believe he's dead because he can see people and Annie, he can see a person he believes is a doctor. He doesn't understand. Annie feels Chris, but she doesn't believe he's there. Annie thinks she's crazy. Chris goes to heaven but she doesn't understand what is happening. He meets Marie and Ian, but they are different.Annie suicides and she goes to her hell. Chris goes to save her, but he needs to fell her to find her in the hell. His love for her, helps him to find her, but she doesn't remember him. They talk and he decides to leave heaven for living whit Annie in hell, but he gets to saves her. In paradise, Chris, Annie, Marie and Ian live as before.

The  most interesting character's personality for me is Ian. He is a very good boy, he is just 13 years old. He studies for his father, he tries to be like him. Ian likes to help people; in hell, he tries to help his father but he can't.
After his death, he changes. In the first moment, Chris doesn't recognize him because he is very different. In hell, Ian shows his responsibility and Chris sees him. In the beginning, Ian is very accepting, he does all thinks his mother and his father say. He is very accepting, but later, Ian talks whit Chris and he becomes authentic.

Albert (Ian): Drink it. Just think it's coffee and it'll be.

Chris: Okay, It's coffee...    Tint...acrylic.
A: Why is this so hard?
C: What?
A: Your brain is meat. It rots and disappears. Did you really think that's all there was to you? Like you're in your house right now. You're in your house! It doesn't mean you are your house. House falls down, you get up and walk away.
C: Now, it looks like I rebuilt.
A: You see your body because you like it. We're seeing what we chose to see. Let me show you something.
C: It's real. Where is all the paint?
A: You don't need it anymore, This is your world now. Thought is real. Physical is the illusion.This part is more interesting for me because in Heaven Ian teaches Chris about that place, the child teaches the father. It's very beautiful because I can see connection between them, they talk like good friends, they are best friends. They have a spiritual connection.

 This is a linguistic analysis of the speeches of the characters from the Movie City of Angels.

This analysis finds the differences among the character speeches. The characters of the movie are: Seth, an angel who falls in love by Meg, who is a great doctor, Seth’s friend Cassial, another angel and Mr. Messenger who is a former angel. 

Luan Fonseca

Meg: the language of Meg easy to understand because she opens the mouth to speak and sometimes she speaks slower than others. It’s easy to understand where words connect.

André Frutuoso

 Meg: Her language is easy, is possible to understand the context of her speech. Sometimes Meg speaks a little fast because of the linking of the words and her pronounce is interesting and clear. She moves the lips and it help us to understand better her English.

Luan Fonseca 

Seth: he speaks very slowly and he closes a little the mouth, he seems be sleepy it’s not so hard to understand.

André Frutuoso 

Seth: He has a hard language because he doesn’t open his mouth. He doesn’t move the lips so much and it can be difficult to understand what he says. He has a low voice and when he links the words it’s harder to comprehend. The words endings are not pronounced. 

Luan Fonseca 

Cassial: his language is easy to understand because he sings the words and phrases. He cuts some words and phrases. He cuts some words making it slightly hard to understand until the end of phrase.

André Frutuoso 

Cassial: He has a clear language and pronunciation, the rhythm is very good. Sometimes he speaks fast and some words are hard to get but is not totally incomprehensible. 

Luan Fonseca 

Mr. Messenger: He has a strong voice and he speaks much slang, sometimes it can make the understanding difficult, his is the second hardest speech to comprehend. He is got a closed pronunciation but the rhythm of the words is good. 

Luan Fonseca 

Mr. Messenger: he closes the mouth, and speaks very fast and uses slang he cuts the words and his lines is very hard to understand.

Finding Neverland

Analysis of the language

By Larissa Schelbauer and Rodrigo Budach    

Jonny Depp’s speech:

He uses a particular pronunciation of the ‘r’.

He speaks very softly and low.

His speech seems to be particular of himself, because it is not used didactically.

Freddie Highmore’s speech:

He speaks very fast and does many links between the words.

General speech:

The movie has a British language, that has as particular characteristic: the reduction of ‘r’; the different pronunciation of the ‘a’ and in the question words compared to American pronunciation.

The rhythm of the British speech is the same of the American speech.

We chose this scene because we think that it presents all the ideas of the movie.

The movie shows the difference between believe and pretend. Believe is to transform the imagination in reality and to pretend is just live in imagination.
