Part 1 Topic: Films
1. Do you like watch films?
Absolutely! They are an excellent way to unwind
(relax; free your mind). Moreover, my friends are reallt into films, so it’s a
fun, relaxing way to spend time together. Afterwards, we discuss and debate the
film that we have just watched. Apart from just relaxing and enjoying the film,
I like to delve deeper (get to the deeper meaning) to discover the subliminal
messages.
2. What kinds of movies do you like best?
Well, I would say I’m still a kid at heart (a person
who still feels like a child in their heart), so I really enjoy watching kids’
movies. Although they seem simple and innocent, there are often many life
lessons packed into these films. Moreover, I’m really into drama and historical
movies. When I watch these, I feel that I can more deeply understand human
emotions and re-live historical moments, like the Vietnam-America War or World
War II.
3. Do you prefer foreign films or films made in your
country?
Since my country doesn’t have a huge film industry,
I’ve always been really into American films. Not to knock (to insult;
discredit) other film industries, but American ones are incredibly entertaining
and well-made; the evolution of film continues to amaze me. Moreover, I only
watch films in English so it helps me to
learn new slang and expressions.
4. How often do you watch films?
Well, I am quite a busy bee (a busy person), but I
manage to see about one or two films a week at home. After a long day of
studying, I love snuggling up (getting comfortable with blankets) on the sofa
and watching a film to unwind. I tend to do this on Friday and Sunday evenings
with my friends.
5. How often do you go to a cinema to watch a movie?
Not too often actually. As the prices in my country
are quite high, I usually opt to (choose) watch a movie at home instead to save
on costs. Actually, I think it’s kind of a waste of money to see a movie at a
cinema when you can watch it from the comfort of your living room. I only go
when a friend invites me, which is maybe 4 times a year.
6. Do people in your country like to go to a cinema
to watch a film?
I would say so. Since people like to go out with
their families on the weekends, this is often an activity that they would
choose. Moreover, teenagers enjoy this activity as a way to get out of the
house. Furthermore, it’s often a popular date option for many people!
7. What was the first film that you watched?
Hmm it’s hard to say the first, but I think it was
the Lion King. I know it first came out in the early 90’s when I was a child.
It was my absolute favorite- I used to watch it repeatedly until my parents
were really tired of it! I even built “pride rock” out of rocks that I found
when we would go to visit my relatives who have a garden.
8. Do you like to watch movies alone or with your
friends?
Both! On one hand, I find it extremely relaxing to
chill out and fall asleep to a film by myself, but it’s also enjoyable to have
company. So, all in all, I prefer films with friends, since they are also into
film. Afterwards, we can discuss the meaning and carry on inside jokes (jokes
among friends) from quotes from the film later on!
9. Would you like to be in a movie?
Not
one bit! As I have stage fright (fear of being on stage), I would never have
the guts (never be brave enough to) to
do it. Secondly, I feel awkward when I try to act and I have the memory of a
goldfish (short memory) so I know I could never memorize my lines! All in all,
acting is simply not my thing.
