Movie Discussion - Describing a Movie
Didn't understand:- "Do you remember the scene when Mary walked into the dining room? Why was she carrying a knife? She didn't use it and the cameras focused on it."
- "I can't understand why she betrayed him. The whole movie concentrated on her trust and loyalty. It just doesn't make sense."
Good Scene:
- "I love the scene when Russell Crowe showed his face to the emperor after the first gladiator fight."
- "What did you think about the last fight scene between Neo and Agent Smith in the rain?"
- "The courtroom scene between Jodie Foster and Richard Gere was absolutely amazing."
Great Movie:
- "That was such a cool movie. It was the best movie I've seen in a long time."
- "Anytime I see a great movie I tend to look at my watch often. That's because I don't want the movie to end."
- "The movie was great. I liked everything about it. I'm definitely going to buy the dvd."
Situational questions:
- "What would you have done? Would you have taken the million dollars and give up your wife for a night?"
- "Would you choose money and fame, or family and stability?"
Some movies are known to be 'based on a true story.' These types of movies are very interesting because they actually happened. The only reason they are not considered to be a non-fiction movie is because the director or writer will add some scenes that didn't happen, or change some facts around so the movie is more appealing to the masses.
A conversation can start from movies such as Schindler's List. When coming out of a theatre, I heard a couple talk briefly about this.
- "What did you think about the movie?"
- "I thought it was great. It was very powerful."
- "How much of it do you think was true?"
- "I learned about Germany and World War II in one of my classes, and this movie showed everything I learned from class."
- "Wow. It's amazing that these things have happened in our history."
