Handout 1
Free Willy, directed by Simon Wincer, is a fascinating and moving adventure. It is set on the west coast of North America. The film is about the relationship between a boy and a whale, called Willy. Jason James Richter plays Jesse, a young street child who finds out the meaning of love and friendship. Jesse first meets Willy in the sea park where the whale is kept. They become good friends as they have both been separated from their families. As the story develops Jesse becomes so fond of Willy that he decides to try to free him. All the actors, especially Lori Petty and Michael Madsen, are excellent. The film is filled with suspense and emotion. The scenes involving Jesse and Willy teach us how close animals and human beings can be to each other. This is a wonderful film for the whole family. Do not miss it, as it will change the way you see life and relationships forever.

1. Willard Christopher "Will" Smith, Jr. is an actor and rapper. He first became famous in the late 80s as the rap artist Fresh Prince. He is the only actor in Hollywood history to make eight films that earned $100 million in the USA. ‘Newsweek’ magazine called him the most powerful actor on the planet.
Smith was born in 1968 and raised in Philadelphia. He began rapping as a teenager. His friends nicknamed him The Prince. He met D.J. Jazzy Jeff and the duo became hip-hop stars in the 1980s and early 1990s. In 1988, they won the first ever Grammy in the Rap category.
In 1990, Smith starred in the sitcom “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air”. His movies ‘Independence Day’ (1996) and ‘Men In Black’ (1997) were both box office hits.
Smith is now one of Hollywood’s hottest actors. He has been nominated for a Golden Globe, two Academy Awards, and has won many Grammys. He has also appeared in movies with his son Jaden, in ‘The Pursuit of Happiness’, and his daughter Willow, in ‘I Am Legend’.
2. John Christopher Depp was born in Kentucky, on June 9, 1963, but he was raised in Florida. He dropped out of school at age 15 in the hope of becoming a rock musician. He fronted a series of garage bands including The Kids. Depp got into acting after a visit to Los Angeles and made his film debut in A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984).
Depp had played numerous roles in teen-oriented films and play the title role in Edward Scissor hands (1990). His character was a tragic hero who had scissors for hands.
He is known for his portrayals of eccentric outcasts who have been described by the press as `iconic loners`. He starred in many films including the ``Pirates of the Caribbean`` trilogy, Charlie and The Chocolate Factory(2005).
Off-screen, he has dated several female celebrities. Now he is living with French singer-actress Vanessa Paradis with whom he has two children.
3. Leonardo DiCaprio is an award-winning Hollywood actor. DiCaprio is known for his environmentalist activities. He flies on commercial flights instead of private jets and has an eco-friendly house.
DiCaprio is an only child and was born in Los Angeles in 1974. He was named after Leonardo da Vinci because his pregnant mother was looking at a da Vinci painting in Italy when her baby first kicked. Leo's actor stepbrother inspired DiCaprio to take up acting.
DiCaprio started his career making TV commercials. His break came in 1990 when he appeared in several shows. DiCaprio’s big breakthrough came in 1993 when he starred opposite Robert de Niro in ‘The Boy’s Life’. That same year he starred alongside Johnny Depp in ‘What's Eating Gilbert Grape’. He was 19 and his performance earned him an Academy Award nomination.
DiCaprio’s career took off and he became a Hollywood star. His status was elevated to superstar after he acted in ‘Titanic’ in 1997, which won 11 Oscars. He was the most searched for personality on the Internet and his popularity was dubbed "Leo-mania”. He said later he would “never reach that state of popularity again”. Today, DiCaprio prefers to think of himself as an indie actor.
