What we saw in the class at first is a moive named ' It Happend One Night'. Even though it was short scene, I can guess the characters' personality a little bit. At the scene, there was a man and a woman. I think it seems they got lost on a mountain, so they were trying to hitchhike. After the man taught her how to hitchhike, he tried to get passing cars stopped but it didn't work. When he got back, she tried to get hitcchiking on her own way and it made a passing car to be stopped directly. While I was watching the movie, I thought that she was so brave and her characteristic was connected to some happening because of the title of the movie.
Next, 'Rainman' is one of my favorite movies acutally. In the scene, there was two brothers in luxury hotel. I think that was penthouse. The older brother who seems like having some disease was supposed to have a date with a girl but he didn't know how to dance. I guess that at that time, dancing was basic course while dating. So, the younger brother was teaching his brother how to dance step by step. In the scene, the younger brother was so kind. When they were dancing together, there was some family love. I mean the younger brother was taking care of his brother from the heart.
Finally, the last moive was 'Titanic'. It is very famouse movie. In our class, there was no one who haven't[hasn't] seen the movie. a man and a woman were in ship[on a ship]. I didn't know what happend before what I saw the scene. However, she changed her mind and he took her the head of the ship. After he made her eyes close, he took her up on the board. While he was holding her waist , she opend her eyes and said,'I'm flying'. I think it is the best scene of the movie. It was so beautiful. After that, they checked their love by kissing. She took him her father's room and asked him to draw her without clothes only with a big diamond necklace. So, while he was preparing his tools, she took off her clothes and lay on couch. While he was drawing her, camera zoom in her eyes and it became an old woman's eyes by zooming out. It was an old woman's thinking of the past.

Teacher's Note: This is a very thorough essay. I would like a little more inference, but this is OK. Thanks for posting.

It happend one night

there were a man who is errogant[arrogant], and there is a women who is clever. They are getting know each other by spending times at the road and hitchhiking. At first, the man was full of confidence and think he is right about everything but I can suppose that his attitude will change. Women is clever and charming, he may be fall in love with her.

Titanic

There was a man standing alone. The wome came to show her changes. They opened their mind. The guy pulled her and opend her arms and made her feel free. They kissed, and I can see that they will fall in love.

Rain man

There are two man who are brothers. One looks having a disorder with his brain, and another was fine. One looks having a disorder has a date with Iris and wanted to learn dancing. so his brother taught him so kindly to make him understand. I can see his brother take care of him a lot. They love each other so much as a brother.

Teacher's Note: Good post. Needs some syntax enhancement, but concise and clear. Thanks for posting.

1. It Happened One Night

In my opinion, a guy and a girl went traveling. During the trip, their car was broken in the middle of mountain. The man proposed to hitch hike to the woman. He thought he is really good at hitch hiking and told her how to do it. He has three-step skills to hitch hike. He looked like a[n] expert, but he got a fail [he failed] whenever he tried to hitch hike. His three-step skill wasn't working not at all. The woman felt frustrated and decided to hitch hike herself. The man laughed loudly and thought she can't[couldn't] do it. But she succeeded in hitch hiking at once.

two characters realtionship
I think they are not a couple but the man likes her. So he tries to show her how capable he is.

2. Titanic

A guy and a girl was traveling by a huge ship. The guy proposed to come to the front of the ship but she really was scared for a while. Finally, she got a confidence and tried to go there. When she reached to there, the man grapped her waist and told her to strech her arms. She streched her arms, but she closed her eyes becasue she still was scared. So the man told her to open her eyes. She openend her eyes and they really felt free and then they were kissing deeply.

two characters realtionship
I think they are not a couple before. They just met at the ship and falled in love.

3. Rain Man

Two guys went to Las Vegas for fun. When they arrived at there. One man showed a huge penthouse room to other man. He proposed to dance with other man. And one man tough[taught] to other man how to dance bourse. At first, the other man didn't listen to him. One man didn't give up and still kept teaching. Finally, other man followed his teaching and felt the rythem[rhythm]. They were dancing and had a good time in LV.

two characters realtionship
I think they are borther[brothers]. Ther person who tries to teach a dancing is older borhter and the other person is younger brother. Unfortunately, younger brother is disabled person. Older brother felt their relationship is far and he tries to close with his younger brother.

Teacher's Note: Nice post, well organized. This author could be more consistent with the time frame, and watch for those pesky GPS glitches. Thanks for a cool post.

Honestly i found the three movies at very interesting , different characters , and different story
Let's talk about rainman, i saw this movie many time before and i think it show us that even two opposite person can have chemestry we have the tom cruise character a greedy person who want to take advantage of his bother condition . and we have dustin hoffman character who has autism who can focus on counting cards and make alot of money without noticing a well played role for dustin hoffman and we saw in the end how tom cruise wanted his brother back because he felt how much it mean to have a brother even in dustin hoffman case.
As for titanic it's a typical love story that joined 2 different characters Leonardo Dicaprio and Kate Winslot a poor guy seeking an adventure and a new life and ready to do anything and Kate winslot a girl who has almost everything but she feel bored from her life with no target and the story begin for a new adventure together. In the movie you can realize about the diference between the class in this period.
And the last movie" it happened in one night " have different character too a young lady that almost have everything and an ambitious guy who was some fight but obviously they fall for each other.
All three movie have one thing in common is that they have opposite characters that have different background who can meet in one common point in their lives.

Teacher's Note: This essay is a well-written broad comparison of the three movies. The instruction was to describe only the three scenes and make inferences about them as if the author had never seen the movies before. So if this were an academic assignment in a college credit program, the writer would unfortunately be penalized for not following instructions. Still, I want to thank the author for a nice piece of writing, clear and filled with insight. Thanks for posting.
