Model Answer 1
Introduction :
Well, according to my perception movies reflect real lives. I have seen a myriad of movies with my kith and kin of all genres, like family drama, mythological, fictional, comedy and many more. Some of them were quite entertaining, while others were highly motivational and thought-provoking. However, I would say that the one that made the strongest and everlasting impression on me was the ‘Mission Mangal’. And, I would certainly recommend this movie to all my near and dear ones.
Where you watched it? and Who you watched it with?
This film was released just a couple of weeks ago, and this week only I saw this movie along with my family, in one of the nearest multiplexes from my house. I vividly remember that I was at my friend’s place when out of the blue, the trailer of this movie was flashed the very first time on TV and caught my attention. I found the promo itself quite captivating that I immediately decided to watch this movie.
What it was about?
This film is based on the real-life story of the scientists of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), who launched India’s first mission to Mars. Mission Mangal is the incredible, true story of a scientist, Rakesh Dhawan, played by Akshay Kumar and Tara Shinde, played by Vidya Balan who overcome their challenges and failures to achieve the breakthrough in one of the greatest missions, the launch of India’s first satellite to Mars Orbiter Mission(MOM). It was quite motivating to see that there is no word like ‘impossible’ in a scientist’s dictionary, so they never give up and always learn from their failure.
The film is shot in such a way that it makes you believe that you are also a part of a space program and feel proud of the victory of Indian history. It is indeed commendable how these ordinary people do extraordinary things and inspire generations to set the benchmark to dream big and achieve the impossible.
I was thrilled to pieces when I got to know that even after the limited budget of 400 crores in contrast to Russia, America and China’s 5000 crores project, how our ISRO team made possible the impossible is worth watching.
Why you want to share it with friends? and Conclusion :
I believe this movie is one of the most inspirational Bollywood movies, portraying patriotism not on the border, but in other significant achievements, which has enlightened the layman about space science. Thus, I consider this film a must watch and would certainly share it with my friends.

I believe the preference for the type of movies people like, changes with age.

There are some differences between Indian and American movies. The content of the script is among them. It’s More closely about the respective cultures of these nations. Language is 1 stage of difference. Indian movies are produced in Hindi, English, or a lot of different languages, depending on the region they’re created in. Another point of difference is that the technology is accessible and used in movies, especially for images, like in animation and for special results. Indian movies still should catch up on that and haven’t reached the amount of finesse in this field as American movies have.
7. What do you think about violent films?
I think if the violence showed is not too detailed or graphic, then It is a great form of entertainment, especially for action movies. But when the violence is explicit and graphic, then it might lead to consequences like more aggressive and violent behavior, especially among the youth and a sense of fear, or it may traumatize a few people.
8. Why do you think movies need computer techniques?
The usage if pc systems are vital for cartoon movies. However, even at the other movies, it is now important, as it might help incorporate an element of excitement and action by showing some stunts that cannot be performed by someone. Therefore, also eliminating any danger to the stuntmen’s life or reduces the odds of accidents or accidents.
9. Do you believe cinemas will disappear in the future?
No, certainly not. I Believe the prevalence of cinemas will not fade In the future. People will continue to visit cinemas for the adventure they offer and for the opportunity to spend quality time with their friends or family. The technology accessible has also made the cinematic experience better not only in terms of the content and images but also in the viewing experience for your viewers. By way of example, the 4D technology has made it possible for viewers to feel they are a part of the film. I believe more such modifications will be witnessed in the future.
10. Can you think (watching) films have (has) educational benefits?
Yes, it certainly does. Films teach us a lot of items, like Culture, history, language, societal and moral values, and about our responsibilities and duties to society. There are lots of documentary films that are based on details and real-life adventures, which also teach us a lot about various subjects and areas.
11. Do men and women like to watch exactly the same types of films?
Yes, I believe the selection of films is very personal and not based on gender. Some individuals may feel that since women are more psychological, they enjoy romantic movies more while men prefer seeing action-based films. However, it isn’t accurate, as we can see an almost equal proportion of females and males in a cinema hall, for any specific genre of films.
12. In what ways are documentary films and movies just for entertainment different?
The primary point of difference between a documentary and amusement Movie is that the former is always based on reality and facts, while the latter may or might not be reality-based. Entertainment films are, for the most part, based on a fiction based script or story. Another difference could be that the funding required for a documentary film is lower than that of a fun one. Actors are needed for an entertainment film, while in a documentary, mostly non-actors share their experiences or understanding. There may not be a demand for a whole film crew such as a makeup artist, cameraman, lightman, etc. for a documentary film. Many men and women use video cameras these days, only their telephones to make a documentary.
13. Why do you believe documentary films are not as popular?
The main Reason documentaries are not so popular. Is that they are not usually entertaining. They usually deal with severe Topics like social problems, wars, etc. and those Based on details, like about the animal species, distant areas, etc..
