    I used to watch movies once a week and its just pure escapism. Somehow I learn but I just do it to escape this reality.

      Tell me what is the point of escaping reality, if reality comes back as soon as you are done with the movie.

      It's like taking a break for a while not escaping permanently.

    I dont fully understand the point of the presentation, and I feel he needs more practice. However, I'm sure he will become a great speaker, and I appreciate him puting the movies into groups.

    even though, you have grouped them, the movies into categories. but I still can find difficult to understand the content all and the explanation given by the presenter is too short. I think the language used in this presentation is a bit informal and hard to take an example to such as us, foreigner, especially Chinese people, it is really hard to demonstrate to us.
    besides, some of the viewpoints given by the presenter are acceptable instead of reasonably acceptable. it is because when I arguably wonder by myself the presenter's talks, I think we really are hazy with some negative or some remarkable commentaries.
    for example, presenter advises us to watch some movies because of the peers among us talk some phrase which appears on a screen of the cinema. From my perspective, this kind of movies is only entertaining movies and some of these movies are innutrition movies. I will continue next time.....

      You can change the timing for watching the movies so it doesn't disturbs your sleep cycle and you can think about the story more
