Bạn là big fan của những bộ phim hành động ngoài rạp. Hay bạn là fan trung thành của phim hài chiếu rạp. Bạn có hay đi xem phim ngoài rạp không . Những câu hỏi hết đỗi thân thuộc trong phần thi Speaking của Topic CINEMA. Các fan lớn của phim chiếu rạp đâu ạ ^^ bơi vào đây cùng thảo luận ngay Topic Cinema thôi nào.
Do you like going to the cinema?
Answer 1
Absolutely yes! You know, I am a great film lover (= a movie buff). So I love getting updated with all the latest blockbuster films (= box office films). Also, at the cinema, you can experience better sound effects and visual quality. You know, it’s so much fun and enjoyable when everyone is watching the film together, laughing and crying at the same time.
Answer 2
Yeah, I really love going to the cinema. In fact, even if I’m not that interested in the film, I enjoy the experience of going out to the cinema with my mates, watching something on a huge screen, and eating popcorn. I especially love going to the CGV cinema at Vincom Ba Trieu near my house. It mostly shows top box office foreign films. The tickets are quite expensive but it values for money.
How often do you go to the cinema?
Answer 1
I would say at least twice a month because watching films especially at the cinema is my all-time favourite pastime. As well as this, you can have a more authentic/genuine feeling through a huge screen. You can feel the director’s message all the more deeply. One example of this is the film Bohemian Rhapsody which I will watch the 3rd time when it is rereleased.
Answer 2
I probably only go once every two or three months because the cinemas here only show blockbusters and I’m not really into most of those films. I also have less time now than I did when I was a student, and when I do have free time, I usually want to hang out with my friends and have a chat, rather than sit down and watch films.
Did you go to the cinema when you was a child?
Yes, sometimes my parents would take my sister and I to the cinema at the weekends. We were always excited because it didn’t happen often so it was a real treat. One of my earliest memories is of watching the Lion king in the cinema when I was a very small child.
Has your taste in films/ movies changed over the years?
I think my taste in films has matured as I’ve grown older. I’m not interested in the superhero films that so many young people are obsessed with. I find the endless CGI action sequences dull and kind of pointless. I prefer character driven stories that are enhanced by beautiful cinematography and a decent screenplay.
