  1. 1. As a cinephile, I like most kinds of movies. Such as science fiction movie, action film, horror movie, animated movie, fantasy film... Most time I like to watch the movie which makes me excited.
    2. It is depend on the type of movie. I like to go to theater when I watch recent popular movie, or the movie which have highlights. When I have free time, I often search recommended film online.
    3. "Little Boy" is me favorite movie recently, I have watched this film on the plant when I come back China this winter vacation. This movie is tell a story about an 8 years old America boy, who's father have been drafted into the World War II. So little boy try to use his faith and volition to take his father back, even that is impossible. This movie makes me cry. Faith and action lack of modern people. People think they see through the natural, the world, even themselves, but it is not that. This movie look at this world from little boy's perspective, tell us that we should own beautiful mind and believe in miracles, and defend our faith by our action. I really love this movie, and it makes me believe this world still have many beautiful things are waiting us to find them. I recommended you to watch this movie.

    2. Hello Piaoyan, I got excited to watch this movie. To watch something from a child's perspective is really a good thing. I think when something happens we should really think about all people that will be affected or influenced by it, even those little kids they have emotions and feelings and we should really care about it.
      Thanks

  2. If someone asks me about my favorite kind of movies, I will answer and say action movies obviously. When I watch this kind of movies, I really feel excited and I learn a lot from it. How can we act in quick or emergency situations. I prefer to watch movies with people such as, friends, family at home; I do go once a while to the movie theater just to change the atmosphere. The last movie I have seen is an action movie about a political man who went to Nepal with his family for work, but unfortunately Nepalese during that time had a revolution and some people went crazy and wanted to harm foreign people as this American family. They were in a hotel then everything started and the family tried to run away but it was very hard so they struggled and got hurt or injured the parents with two kids. At the end of this movie they could run away to Vietnam and then to America. It was really exciting movie and meaningful to me.

  3. 1- There are many different type of movies. However, I would prefer History, romantic, comedy , drama , and action movies. Nevertheless, it does not mean I do not like the other type of movies if someone would suggest me. Even if it is science fiction, I will watch it. As result, movies are one of my favorite hobbies.

    2- I like to go to the theater if the movie was action because it will feel more exciting to watch. Otherwise, I would watch movies at home with family and friends, because it is more convenience, and I can do anything such as stopping the movie to go to the bathroom, eating, and smoking hookah while I am watching. For instance, last time watched movie, I was smoking hookah and I have paused the movie for five times. On the other hand, I definitely cannot do this and the theater.


    3-The last movie I saw two weeks ago. It was Egyptian action movie. The story of the movie is about a policeman, and his name is Ahmed. He killed a brother of one of the most danger guy in the city. After he killed the guy, the danger or gangsta guy knew about his brother, and he would like to take revenge by killing the policeman’s wife. One day the police officer was going to his home, and he opened the door of his house. He found out his house was messy and His wife has killed. However, he does not know that his wife has killed by gangsta guy. In addition, he is trying to find out who is the killer, and trying to find evidence. After he knew gangsta killed his wife. He is chasing after the gangsta guy. The movie ends up, throwing the gangsta in the jail.

    I admire a good deal of Epic Romantic movies because it can really teach about the beauty of true love and relationship. The ability to persevere in a relationship is the hallmark of true love.

    I have often preferred to watch a few movies at home, sometimes, due to lack of time to go out and watch it at the theatre, and not because I would not want to go to the theatre. That was back in Nigeria where I was very busy with my work. Hence, I am hoping to start going to the theatre now that I am out in the United States, especially, during holidays.

    The last movie I watched is titled TITANIC. And the touching thing about it was, not the building of the biggest ship at the time, nor the boasting that the ship Titanic can never get sunk, but the climax which was the expression of the love that Rose had for Jack, despite his poor social status. That is one way true love can be found. The love that made Jack sacrifice his life to save Rose in the ship that got bashed by the iceberg and eventually got sunk. And the great majority of the people in it died, including Jack, the principal co actor.

    Piaoyan's movie on "The Little Boy" is so touching, given the expression of innocence and faith on the part of the boy towards his father. It brings out this high sense of great trust and beautiful attachment children have towards their parents.

    Again, Wasmia's movie on the family's travail simply sparks the consciousness of what strangers suffer often when they go to seek a better life in foreign countries. One can only tell the story of survival. A good number of others are consumed in such situations.

    Thanks Enas with the cool episode. Revenge can be dangerous. Bloodshed after bloodshed. A nice movie, though and your narration was cute. You remembered so much about the movie.

    Piaoyan's LITTLE BOY movie is so touching because of the faith that boy showed. His love and attachment to the father even in the face of danger was affective.

    Wasmia's picture of the family in danger is typical of strangers' travails in foreign land. So nice to see an enclouraging end for the family in the movie.

    Enas' great description of the police and the avenger's jail is great and superb. The police man has acted his training truly. Enas recapped the story to show she recently saw the movie.
