[00:04.11]Lesson 12
[00:08.94]Exercise 1.3
[00:12.77]So,Benny,you like movies,right?
[00:16.53]Oh,yes,I love going to the movies.
[00:19.28]Tell me,how do you find out
[00:21.81]which movies are playing at the movie theaters?
[00:25.85]Well,I usually look in the newspaper
[00:28.79]and I also see advertisements on TV.
[00:32.17]And some friends of mine are movie fans.
[00:35.23]They sometimes tell me.
[00:37.28]Do you often read reviews of the latest movies
[00:41.32]Yes,sometimes.
[00:42.81]I sometimes read movie reviews in magazines.
[00:45.83]Do you go to see movies
[00:48.12]because other people tell you to see them?
[00:50.40]Yeah，sometimes I do.
[00:52.31]If people say,"Oh,it's a fantastic movie!Benny,
[00:55.42]you have to see this movie!"
[00:57.16]Well ,I guess that influences me.
[00:59.65]Tell me ,if someone sees a movie and says that
[01:02.82]it is not very good,
[01:04.75]do you go and see the movie anyway?
[01:07.82]Er...yeah,usually,
[01:10.05]But if a lot of people say that
[01:11.59]the movie is terrible,
[01:12.88]then it might have some influence on me,
[01:15.04]I may change my mind and I won't go.
[01:18.66]I'm a movie fan myself and my favorite movie
[01:21.78]is Jurassic Park,
[01:23.51]What's yours?
[01:25.42]My favorite movie is The Pianist.
[01:28.08]Do you buy DVDs?
[01:30.15]Yes.But I don't have a lot of money.
[01:32.43]I only buy two each month,
[01:34.88]My uncle and aunt have a big collection.
[01:37.21]I sometimes borrow some of theirs.
[01:39.52]You said you were a movie fan,
[01:41.49]Do you have a lot of DVDs?
[01:43.72]Yes,I do.
[01:45.42]Then can I borrow some of yours?
[01:47.96]Certainly.
[01:54.22]Exercise 2.1
[01:57.77]So,Who is your favorite Chinese movie director²
[02:01.23]It's hard to choose just one.
[02:03.35]I like Lu Chuan and also Chen Kaige.
[02:06.24]Who is yours?
[02:07.94]I think mine is Zhang Yimou.
[02:11.06]Oh,yes,He's a really good director.
[02:14.29]have you seen his movie Hero?
[02:16.90]Yes.I have.I saw it with my friend Jenny.
[02:20.63]You remember her,don't you?
[02:22.76]Yes,I remember her.
[02:24.49]She has a big collection of Chinese movies,
[02:26.70]right?
[02:27.85]That's right.
[02:28.94]It's really big--much bigger than ours!
[02:32.53]The actress Maggie Cheung appeared in Hero,
[02:35.15]didn't she ?
[02:36.50]Yes.She has had a really successful career.
[02:40.12]True,but I think
[02:41.47]Zhang Ziyi's career has been more
[02:43.28]successful than hers.
[02:45.19]Yes,well.Intertionally,at least,
[02:47.91]That's because Crouching³ Tiger,Hidden Dragon
[02:50.70]was a big hit all over the world.
[02:51.48]
