Describe A Movie You Watched And Enjoyed Recently – Sample Audio

Okay, last week I watched a movie which is called Alpha. It is not about AlphaGo, or some robot, but about a wolf. It’s a fascinating movie featuring a wolf and how it became the first dog in human history.

I watched it together with my dad, who is a wolf fan as well. (My mom doesn’t like it.) So my dad and I just sat comfortably in my sofa with my mom sitting next to us scrolling down some short videos on her phone. Well, sometimes, she also gave a look at the movie especially when there were some exciting moments and scenes.

Okay, back to this movie. The movie revolves around a young hunter-gatherer named Keda (If my memory doesn’t fail me, yeah, that’s his name.). He got separated from his tribe during an ice age hunting expedition. He fell down from a cliff, which, in my imagination, would kill him. But that would be the end of the movie, right?

He woke up and survived in this harsh, unforgiving environment. And on his way back home, he encountered a lone wolf, which wanted to kill him, but unexpectedly, they formed an unlikely and surprising bond with each other. As they journeyed together, the wolf gradually transformed from a wild creature into the first domesticated dog, you know, this is a turning moment in human history. I think that’s the reason why this movie is called “Alpha”. Yeah, that’s the movie.

I watched this movie primarily because of my deep fascination with wolves. I’ve always been intrigued by their intelligence, loyalty, and the complex dynamics of their packs. This movie showed a beautifully crafted narrative that delves into the origins of our relationship with dogs. That’s why I like it. Also, the stunning cinematography, the breathtaking and scapes of prehistoric Europe, the emotional journey of the main hero and his wolf companion are what I enjoy about this movie as well.

So the movie that I watched and enjoyed very recently, actually, it was last night, was a 90s movie, I think it was from 1998. And it’s called Kiss the Girls. And it is a kind of a crime thriller starring Morgan Freeman. So Morgan Freeman is, in this film, a forensic psychologist. So he’s someone who tries to understand serial killers and then tries to prevent them from killing or tries to catch them in some way.

I watched this movie last night. I watched it in my house on Netflix, and it’s one of those films that I’ve had on my list on Netflix for probably about a year. And I just never got around to watching it until last night. And I just had a bit of free time, and I thought, okay, yeah, I’ll watch that. I watched it with my wife, and we both really enjoyed it.

And the plot is basically, there is a serial killer, and he has kidnapped a lot of young women, including the niece of Morgan Freeman’s character. So Morgan Freeman not only has a professional interest in the case, because he’s a forensic psychologist, but he also has a personal interest in the case. And the story is essentially the way in which he tries to figure out who this serial killer is and how he can catch him and how he can save all of the different people who he’s kidnapped and is planning to kill.

Okay, think you for your patience. Today, I’d like to talk about a fascinating movie I re-watched recently, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, with a group of my friends during a movie night at my apartment. It was a nostalgic experience, as we decided to revisit the magical world of Hogwarts. We watched it on a cozy Saturday evening. Cozying up on the couch with sacks and drinks, embracing the magical atmosphere.

Allowing me to explain that the movie is about a handsome boy Harry Potter, who discovers on his 11th birthday that he is a wizard. He is invited to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and wizardry. Where he learns about magic, make new friends, and uncovers the truth about his parents’ mysterious death.

Moving on the reason we chose to watch Harry Potter series is because it’s a timeless classic that never gets old. Watching it again reminded us why it’s such an iconic movie that continues to inspire people of all ages.
That’s the interesting movie experience, and think you very much again for your listening, Sir.

1. What kinds of movies do you think are successful in your country?

I think action and adventure films are the most successful type of movies, especially those blockbusters. Because they often feature stunning visuals and epic story lines, which can attract a large group of audiences.
Also, comedies also enjoy widespread popularity, especially those that resonate with local humor.
Additionally, dramas that tackle social issues or historical events can be highly successful, as they often spark conversations and reflections among viewers.

2. What are the factors that make a successful movie?

Firstly, a compelling storyline is crucial. Because that’s the only thing that can keep the audiences engaged throughout the movie.
Secondly, high-quality production is significant, like cinematography, special effects, and sound design. Because these can significantly enhance the viewing experience. Furthermore, strong performances from the cast and a well-directed narrative flow are essential, because the story itself has to be smoothly told.
Lastly, think effective marketing and timing of the release can also play a significant role in determining a movie’s success.

3. Do Chinese people prefer to watch domestic movies or foreign movies?

3. Do Chinese people prefer to watch domestic movies or foreign movies?

Well, recently, I think Chinese audiences have shown a growing preference for domestic movies. Well, in the past, foreign films were often favored because of the higher production quality. But domestic movies have significantly improved in this aspect and are now gaining popularity. Not only the production, but the storytelling, better directors and actors. So, I’d say domestic movies are more popular now.

4. Do you think only well-known directors can create the best movies?

4. Do you think only well-known directors can create the best movies?

No, definitely not. While it’s true that some famous directors have made acclaimed films, their works are not ALWAYS universally praised or able to satisfy every viewer.
On the other hand, many new and emerging directors have also produced films that have received widespread praise, and their works are exceptional.
More importantly, the quality of a movie is not solely determined by the director’s fame but also by the collaboration between the director, scriptwriters, actors, and other crew members. So definitely, we can’t say that only well-known directors can create the best movies.

5. Do you think successful movies should have well-known actors or actress in leading roles?

5. Do you think successful movies should have well-known actors or actress in leading roles?

Well, I’d say that well-known actors or actresses in leading roles can certainly attract more attention and potentially increase a movie’s box office success. But I don’t think it’s a necessary condition for a film to be successful. Many successful movies have featured unknown or lesser-known actors who delivered outstanding performances.
Ultimately, the quality of the acting and the character’s development are more important than the actor’s fame. A compelling storyline and well-rounded characters are also crucial and can certainly make a movie successful, regardless of the actors’ popularity.

6. Why do people prefer to watch movies in the cinema?

6. Why do people prefer to watch movies in the cinema?

Basically, the cinematic experience offers a sense of immersion that cannot be fully replicated at home.
The large screen, surround sound, and darkened theater create an atmosphere that enhances the viewing experience. Secondly, watching a movie in the cinema is often a social activity, allowing friends and family to enjoy a shared experience.
Lastly, some people appreciate the exclusivity and novelty of seeing a film on the big screen shortly after its release, rather than waiting for it to be available on streaming platforms.
