Among dramas, I like “Adaptation”. It is an excellent movie! But for me the first part of the movie was too fast to follow. I hope to see it again on DVD with captions.

“The Pianist” is set in the Second World War. It’s about a young Polish-Jewish pianist, who lives in Warsaw with his family. The Nazis sent his family to die in the concentration camps. He was safe, but would have died without unusually good luck and the kindness of a few non-Jews. This is a powerful movie with thought-provoking themes.

“Rabbit-Proof Fence” is set in the 1930s in Australia, and it’s based on real events. It is about three native girls who are separated from their families by the racist police who send them to special centers. There the girls are taught practical skills, and the government tries to integrate them into white Australian society. They can away from the camp and walked 1,500 miles to find their mothers. This is a sad, touching story that you should not miss. 1.A 2.C 3.C 4.A 5.D

Task 3: Let's go and see the movie.

Lisa: What kind of movie do you want to see, Nick?

Nick: I really want to see Monster Night, the horror movie advertised in newspapers.

Lisa: Monster Night? It sounds scary. I don't like horror films. Nick: OK. It's not yet in theaters anyway. It won't be coming out until next week. What movies are playing now?

Lisa: Let me check... There's an action film starring Jet Li, and... Monster Night! It's already in theaters.

Nick: What? It is? Which theater is it playing at?

Lisa: It's showing at the theater in the mall. But I really don't want to see it.

Nick: All the critics have given Monster Night great reviews. What time is the next showing?

Lisa: Well, if we hurry, we can make the three o'clock show. The show after that is at 4:30. But I'm too frightened to see this one. Nick: Come on, Lisa! Don't be a chicken. Let's go! We have to get tickets before they sell out! 1.F 2.T 3.F 4.T 5.F Speaking

Views on Movies

Interviewer: Hello, Robert and Richard, I’d like to ask you something about movies. Do you prefer going to the theater or watching movies on video at home?

Robert: I prefer, personally, going to the theater, because I believe there are certain movies that come over better when you see them in a large theater. The sound effect is much better. Interviewer: What about you, Richard?

Richard: Just the opposite. It’s more comfortable to sit at home. Interviewer: There’re many different movie genres, for example, science fiction, action, comedy, romance. What’s your personal favorite? Robert: My favorite would be action movies.

Richard: And mine would be nice movies that touch me deeply.

Interviewer: How do you like the old black and white movies of the forties, and fifties compared with the modern blockbusters?

Robert: For their time, the movies of the forties and fifties were excellent. But try to compare them with today’s technology, and you’ll find there isn’t anything to compare. It’s so superior today. Richard: I agree. Part I Script
