hello hello dear listener and welcome into IELTS speaking part three we're talking about films movies reviews and Rory here is a super expert on different films especially Avatar part three
if you haven't listened to our part two where Rory told us all the truth about this latest Avatar film please go back and listen to it okay What are the different types of films which are popular in your country?
Maybe the same as everywhere else really.
We show dramas and comedies and science fiction at the cinema to name just a few but I don't think we have anything wildly different to elsewhere.
Maybe we have more social commentaries
like we seem to be a very socially aware country so I don't think that's very unique to Scotland.
Other countries will also be aware of social issues.
Are historical films popular in your country?
Definitely.
I think everybody loves Braveheart which is a very inaccurate film about medieval Scotland.
But there are others like that and period dramas which people really love.
Even though everyone knows what will happen because the history is so well known.
So it must be the drama around the whole thing.
Do people believe movie reviews?
Sometimes, although that probably depends on the source rather than what it is.
Some reviewers and critics like to make names for themselves by being particularly scathing,
even about things that aren't that bad, they're just mediocre.
And of course some people are completely uncritical about everything,
so you need to be able to recognise these things and find balanced points of view.
And is it better to read the reviews before watching a movie?
