【英语趣味课堂】喜欢什么种类的电影-Favorite Kind of Movie

Nitiya: OK, so something about fun, actually what kind of movies do you like?

 

Todd: Um, well, let's see, I like. I love comedy movies, and for me the most important thing about a movie is, does it have good dialog, does it have good writing, so I don't care about special effects, and stuff like that. It just doesn't interest me, and actually I don't like big Hollywood movies (OK) I think they're terrible.

 

Nitiya: Terrible!

 

Todd: Yeah. (OK) What kind of movies do you like?

 

Nitiya: I guess a lot of adventure, like the movie like "Star Gate" and The beach" and, and "The Beach" was not good but, I like something which is so different, something which is about the universe, or something which is about rockets and stuff like that.

 

Todd: So you like movies that re quire... (detective movies also)... and what?

 

Nitiya: Detective.

 

Todd: Oh, detective movies. (Yeah) So you like movies that require imagination?

 

Nitiya: Exactly.

 

Todd: Now, since we're talking about movies, India has a very big movie industry, Bollywood, (Yeah) do you like the Bollywood movies?

 

Nitiya: It's great. (Yeah) Awesome¹. Yeah. I guess a lot of people in the whole world like it a lot.

 

Todd: Bollywood, they always have so many people, like the thing is, where do they get all those actors?

 

Nitiya: Lots of actors, so much drama, and I guess a lot of music and dancing and it's just so different from Hollywood movies, so I guess for the reality, I prefer the Hollywood movie and if you just want to have some fun, it would be Bollywood movies.

 

Todd: So, how often would you watch Bollywood and how often do you watch English?

 

Nitiya: Whatever I get.

 

Todd: whatever you get.

 

Nitiya: I just love movies. I'm crazy behind movies.

 

Todd: You're addicted² to movies?

 

Nitiya: Very much.

 

Todd: OK, you know in the states when you go to the movies, it's always coke, popcorn³, hot dog. When you go to movies in India, what's the food that you eat?

 

Nitiya: Ok, coke is always there.

 

Todd: Right.

 

Nitiya: And yeah, something like chips or potato chips or anything you get in your hands. Basically I don't like getting disturbed when I'm watching a movie. I'm a person who likes watching a movie very quietly. I don't like watching with friends. I mean, I prefer going who also like watching movies quietly. I mean there are some people in the world, they sit for the movie and they go, oh, this is going to happen next and things like that. I get so irritated⁴. Let me watch it, concentrately.

 

Todd: Right, I hate that.

 

Nitiya: I really want to do it quietly, peacefully. I just want to watch the movie. Not talk to the person sitting behind me.

 

Todd: Ah, I totally agree. And I want to see the beginning, and I want to see the end.

 

Nitiya: Exactly.

 

Todd: And no interruptions

 

Nitiya: Once I begin I really want to go till the end. (Right) I can't stop it in the middle and say, "Oh, oh."

 

Todd: Yeah, which do you prefer, watching it at the cinema, or on DVD at home?

 

Nitiya: At home.

 

Todd: At home. So nobody bothers you?

 

Nitiya: Yep.

 

Todd: Right. Yeah, same thing. OK, thanks, Natiya.
