Model answer 1:

Introduction:
Well, Pam a cinephile, I love to watch different kind of movies like horror, thriller, comic but my
favourite are historical movies. Recently I watched one of the movies and its name is Kesari.

What was the movie about?
I would love to share it as much I can. It is a historical movie based on the battle fought by sikhs at the time of British empire.This battle is also included in the school curriculum due to the heroism shown by Indian soldiers to act as an inspiration for young generation.

When and where you watched it?
I watched this movie with one of my cousins in nearby cinema to my home.I was really excited to be in it to see the iconic battle. As soon as the first scene started every one started shouting with enthusiasm which boosted up energy in the cinema hall. One of the point that why I love this movie is that the lead role is done by Akshay kumar who is my favourite actor. Each and everything was outstanding from casting to the music. Moreover, songs in it are fabulous, the thing which I liked is that the songs do not distract the viewers.

How you felt about it?
My favourite song in this movie is “Teri mitti” and best scene according to me was when the last soldier came out buring, despite that his eyes were sparkling with proud due to which Afghans got scared and ran away. Most interesting part is that the fight was between just 21 sikhs and about 10,000 Afghans, despite that sikhs won.

I get goose bumps just by thinking about it. So, this was really engrossing movie and I highly recommend to every one to watch it at least once.

Model answer 2:

Introduction:
The film that I would love to share with my friend is Parasite, a 2019 South Korean black comedy thriller film directed by Bong Joon-ho. The film stars Song Kang-ho, Lee Sunkyun, Cho Yeo-jeong, Choi Woo-shik, and Park So-dam. It received widespread critical acclaim and won the Palme d’Or at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival, becoming the first Korean film to receive the award. It was selected as the South Korean entry for the Best International Feature Film at the 92nd Academy Awards.

When and where you watched it?
I watched this movie in the cinema right on the day it was premiered, because I was totally enthralled by the mysterious trailer and the unique name of the movie. The experience at the cinema was also rewarding, with a huge screen, the super sound-system, the darkened atmosphere, and diverse audience reaction.

Well, it was my sister who introduced me to this movie, so I enjoyed it with her. We both share an immense love for movies with exotic themes and twisting plots, as these excite our curiosity. As expected, the film left an unforgettable impression on us, and we also recommended it to other friends.
And why you want to share it with your friend

What was the movie about? and How you felt about it?
Well, this movie is just beyond your wildest expectations. Parasite inveigles its way into our consciousness. We laughed, at first, at its skewing of reality and the sheer temerity of its main characters. But laughter soon gave way to fright and then to despair, so I want my friend to experience these very special feelings. Parasite is generally gripping and finely crafted, standing up well as Bong’s most mature state-of-the-nation statement since Memories of Murder in 2003. I certainly won’t give away any spoilers here, but suffice it to say that you won’t guess any of the secrets, and once the story goes down the rabbit hole, it stays very dark till the end.
