FriendshipAndLove...
"‍Reign over me" ‍ is a movie about a man namned Allan and his lad Charlie who has lost his lovely wife, three daugthers and his pudel Spider. Allan and Charlie met at __collage__, where they were rommates and Charlie was so polite that he slept naked. After they both had __gratuated__, Allan and Charlie began to work as dentists. But unfortunatly, they lost contact after __collage__. Under the terrorist assault on 9/11 2001 Charlie lost the persons who meant most to him. And therefore he quit his job, lost contact with all his friends and ignored his in-laws. He sort of escaped reality, by playing video-games and putting his headset on and listing to music. He didn´t like the thought of him losing his famliy, so he claimed that his loved ones never existed. Now, some several years later Alan saw Charlie coming out of a hardware store with housepainting. Alan tried to get contact with Charlie, he even got out of his car when he stopped in the middle of a car-queue. But not even that was enough to stop and wake Charlie from his own world. When Alan a few days later make contact with him, Charlie doesn't seem to remember him. So Alan brought Charlie to a café, where Alan told a little about their time in __collage__. While Alan explains, Charlie slowly managed to gain some of his memories back. Later on, they went to a bar to talk further. Alan pointed out that there was a lot of hot women in there. Charlie knew what he meant and responded aggressivly. Charlie threw his soda on __Alans__ shirt. Alan was __quiet__ upset about that and left the bar. During the rest of the movie, Alan and __Charlies__ friendship is put to the test. They can have a great time __put__ everything changes when Alan reminds Charlie about that horrible event. At one time, Alan gets a patient that wants to blow him, but Alan denies the offer and told her that she had to leave immediatly. She was offended and sued his company. Alan meets this woman later on in the movie and __maked__ her talk about her problems. And no, he __didn´t got__ blowed. When Charlie sees that girl for the first time, he was astonised. He kinda fell for her. But, it´s not always about Charlie. Alan has a problem of his own. He doesn´t think that his wife allows him to do "manly" things. When Alan spends most of his time with Charlie, his wife is a little alone and is unaware of what Alan does. In the end of the movie, Alan __realize__ that he needs to be more open to his wife. He called her, told her that he was sorry and how much he loved her. But before that, Charlie is put in prison for waving a gun in public. He stood trial some days later. He could risk 1 year in special hospital for psychologyical __damaged__ people. During the trial the most awful thing __i´ve__ ever seen happened. They showed pictures of his past away family. They put the picture right infront of him. He couldn´t take it, it was too much for Charlie. He got panic, put his headphones on and sang so loud he could. __The__ eventually had to take him out of the court. After the trial, __Charlies__ lawyer and psychologist ( __with__ he visited a couples of time ) with __Charlies__ prosecutors ( his mother and father in-laws which he had fled from many times before) met up with the judge. The judge told about his view on the situation and told the __prosecutors__ lawyer to shut up a couple of times. The judge thought that Charlie could work this out but he was forced to visit his psychologist to proceed with his recovery. After that, Alan drove Charlie back home where the woman who wanted to give Alan a good time showed up. Charlie was shy when she walked in and the woman __to__, was a little shy.

If the same thing happened to me like charlie, I too would affect me and my life. I don´t think I would live in Sweden any longer, because my relatives all live in Denmark and it would be hard for them to adjust and feel home here. And the thought of my family being dead would totally shatter me. I would get a hard time at school and maybe break down a couple of times the first weeks after the attack. After some __month__ or even a year I probably have recovered from the horrible event, but my heart would have a scar for life.

A life without friendship is like a picture with nothing on it. Friends are the most important persons you will ever have in your lives! Friends are there for you, they give you a good laugh and help you whenever you´re having a though time. If I should compare one of my friendships with Charlie and Allans, I would be my friend Philip and me. His mom was actually involved in an accident in Germany a few years ago. But she survived with Charlies famliy didn´t unfortunatly. But it did affect our friendship because somedays we couldn´t go to his house where we spended most of our time due too his moms headache and neck pain from the accident. Charlie and Allans friendship is also very strong, like me and my lad, Philip.

Task 2:


I think this describes how lonely Charlie felt, before Allan met him again. He was in his own little world, we´re he found calm and peace. And that is the reason why I chose this picture. I didn´t pay attention to who the photographer was, but I found this picture on istockphoto.com. I also think this picture is about making a big choice. I think it looks like he really thinks about something that might affect his life dramaticly. The gray atmosphere gives the picture a sad feeling. The tumultous water and the clouds gives the picture and even stronger sad feeling. But the hole between the clouds, looks like there might be a little hope to make things good again. The gray atmosphere is like the pain Charlie carries, and Allan is that little hope that may help him.
