And explain why
it is your favorite film
As a frequent moviegoer, I watch a multitude of films. One of the movies I’m much into
is “One day”, an American romantic drama movie. It is directed by Lone Scherfig based
on a novel of the same name. I watched this movie at least three times yet still love to
watch again and again.
The movie opens with a short scene of the day after their graduation on 14 July 1988
of
two main characters, Dexter Mayhew (Jim Surgess) and Emma Morley (Anne
Hathaway). They spent the night together but came up with an agreement to be just
friends, and spent the following day together, the 15
th
, St. Swithin’s day. However, they
couldn’t keep the promise. They went through different circumstances,
troubles, got
marriage and lived apart from each other until 2004, Emma and Dexter finally realized
they were a perfect match and got engaged and married. Unfortunately, despite many
efforts, they have not yet had kids. On 15
th
July 2006, Emma had a car accident when
she was crossing the street. Dexter became inconsolable and was particularly desolated
each year on that day. The movie ends up with the scene back to 1988 when they first
met and promised to always be best friends.
This movie usually get me burst into tears no matter how many times I’ve watched it.
Not only was the story itself so miserable but also the actor and actress outperformed
the ordinary. This movie also aimed to encourage people to appreciate the happiness
and true love from the ones who have always been there for them.

QUESTIONS FOR PART 3
2.1. Do you think (watching) films have (has) educational benefits?
Absolutely, I think. Take romantic films as an example, they can help educate people
about
the value of love, honesty, and faithfulness. They can make the audience
sympathize with other people and respect what they have. Indead,
films can teach
people good virtues to become better citizens through stories. Besides, in most high
school and college courses, movies, whether documentary or narrative, are a creative
approach in teaching, helping students have a brief idea about the history, social issues,
or scientific experiments. History, for example, indeed
becomes more approachable
and interesting in movies.
