Writing Movie Reviews
Whenever a new movie comes out, people will check the film reviews to decide if they should see it. Movie reviews can make or break a film’s box office sum. Therefore, you should be honest with your criticism or praise of the movie when writing a review.
After finishing writing a brief plot (情节) summary and a short opinion of the film, you can set about typing the details of each paragraph.
When you are typing the first paragraph, you should pay attention to the detailed information such as the name of the film, its stars, setting and genre (体裁).
However, in the second paragraph, your aim is to write a short plot summary.
In the third paragraph, you’d better focus on one element of the film, for example, acting, directing or cinematography (电影艺术).
While you are writing the fourth paragraph, the other aspect of the film mentioned in the rough draft is a must. The key of the last paragraph is to show your overall opinion of the film and your reaction to it.
| A．It is important to express your support for the film. |
| B．You must search for the information about the film. |
| C．Before writing a review, you should first see the movie. |
| D．Analyze this aspect and discuss what is good or bad about it. |
| E．Your review should be specific and brief. |
| F．It should include details that give the audience an introduction to the film. |
| G．Here is where you recommend—or not recommend—the audience to see the movie. |
