21: blackjack review - Mireia Novejarque

-

Last month I saw the film 21 blackjack in the class. Is a thriller directed by Robert Luketic and the main actors are Jim Sturgess (Ben),  Kate Bosworth (Jill),  Laurence Fishburne (Cole Wiliams),  Kevin Spacey (Micky Rosa). Also is a film based on a real history, the MIT blackjack team.
The main character is a boy called Ben Campbell, he has a very high intellectual coefficient and has been accepted to the School of Medicine at Harvard University, but he does not have enough money to pay the registration and the residence, and he has to find the way to pay everything. Maybe with the blackjack?
The film is very intriguing and dramatic, and if you like the films about strategy, this is your film. 
My only criticism is that it makes blackjack and counting cards look like a simple and easy thing, but just that.

Hi! My name is Mireia Novejarque Almela, I’m 15 years old and I live in Barcelona, I’m studying 1rst of “batxillerat” at the Jesuïtes el Clot School. I have a little brother called Pol and he is 14 years old. I do rhythmic gymnastics at school since I am 9 years old, I like it a lot and it helps me to disconnect from my obligations and homework’s. I think I’m a creative person because one of my hobbies is drawing, I draw in my free time and when I'm very bored. One of the reasons I am doing “batxillerat” is I would like to study a marketing or publicity career or, in another case, study something related to the world of fashion or design.
