Presenter: Good afternoon. Today we have asked 5 people to give us a short interview and share their opinions about films and cinema. Now we would like to present their opinions to you.
Speaker A. Don’t get me wrong! I love watching films on the big screen but the rest of the experience is pretty awful! Just imagine, you’re in the cinema, ready to see the film and someone next to you has a bag of popcorn or a bag of sweets, so they open it up, half-way through the film and to make things worse, they start chewing loudly! That drives me mad! Or even worse they talk on their cellphones through the entire movie and start kicking the back of my chair accidently or otherwise.
Speaker B. There are different ways to choose a good film to watch. Personally, I always read the official reviews on the Internet. I believe the things that professional critics say about the plot, the acting and the shooting. If they say the film is worth seeing, I go and see it. Apart from that, I rely on my friends’ opinions, as our tastes in films are quite similar. They know what genres I like and which I don’t. In most cases these recommendations are more than enough for me.
Speaker C. I am sure that it is one of the most celebrated films in the entire history of filmmaking, a great all-time classic! It has everything that makes it just fantastic: a talented director, a perfect cast, a great soundtrack, a touching story, you name it! The shooting and acting are superb! It’s not an epic, not a horror, but a drama that will suit most viewers’ tastes. It’s absolutely essential to watch it at least once. Personally, I watch it every time I feel sad or disappointed. It just lifts up my mood!
Speaker D. I’m a great cinema and film fan. However, there are some genres I never watch. Like, I don’t watch horror films, they seem to be all about the scare factor and in most cases, they do not have a good plot or story. You’ll never see me watching an action film either. They’re almost always the same. The good guys try to save the world. No special characters, nothing that makes me interested in the story, and I’m not interested in seeing fights and car races for hours and hours.
Speaker E. I don’t like going to the cinema, I haven’t been there for almost ten years. I don’t do well, sitting and doing one thing for an hour and a half. I don’t feel safe, plus, I can’t make myself pay for a ticket and spend that much money on snacks only to sit in the dark and focus on one thing! When I’m in my room or in the kitchen, I can do other things while I’m watching a movie, like having a snack or making dinner. Then I can pause it any time I need, so it’s really convenient.
