原版英语对话1000个:017 Good Movie

Todd: OK. Jamie, We're going to talk about movies.

Jamie: OK, Great!

Todd: What is your favorite movie?

Jamie: My favorite movie is kind of a heavy movie. It's a called Sophie's Choice with Meryl Streep and Kevin Kline.

Todd: OK.

Jamie: It's a, it's a movie, it's set in World War II. Meryl Streep plays a Polish woman who has come to America and she's met a man, Kevin Kline, who has a series of problems of his own, mostly psychological, which she is not 100 percent aware of and she does a bunch of scenes where she thinks of the past and the very difficult decision she had while, during the war, living in Poland, she had to decide between two children, which one would be murdered by the Nazis¹, and which one wouldn't, and it's an ethical² delimma she faced at that time, and she made and immediate³ decision on, and affected⁴ her the rest of her life.

Todd: OK.

Jamie: It's a fantastic movie, not the story in itself, of course the story was brilliant, but the acting⁵, the fact that she speaks Polish, she speaks German, She speaks English with a Polish accent, which is amazing, a writer who is actually a narrator through the movie as well, his character is great. Kevin Kline is a basically a psycho character. He is a little bit deranged⁶ in itself is pretty neat. So, all in all, the characters, the plot line, the movie, it's fanatasic.

Todd: OK. Great. Sophie's Choice.

Jamie: Sophie's Choice. I think it actually won an academy award in 1985 or 84.

Todd: OK. Great. Thanks a lot.

Jamie: My pleasure.
