🎥 Let's speak about movies
🎭Actors
We like to see our favourite actors playing a character – even a minor character – in films, whether these are in lead roles (=main roles), or supporting roles (not main roles).
🏆Every year, the Oscars gives awards to lead actors and supporting actors, but never to the extras (the actors who play people in a crowd, often without a speaking part.)
🎬Other people and things
Then we like to see who the director or producer is, the screenwriter who wrote the screenplay (the script that the actors speak) and who composed the soundtrack (the music background in the film).
📰We'll read film reviews to find out more about the plot (or storyline) and how good the lighting, cinematography (art of shooting the film) or costumes are.
🎞We might even watch a trailer (short extract from the film) to see the special effects.
✏️Useful adjectives
All these are useful words and phrases to spice up your description:
❗️true-to-life (a real story)
❗️the real story of
❗️remarkable (unusual, good)
❗️masterpiece (the best work someone has done)
❗️oscar-winning

Watch TV 📺 vs Watch a film (movie) 🎞
When we watch a movie, we ordinarily watch the entire movie.
If we're watching it at home we may interrupt the viewing from time to time to fetch snacks or go to the bathroom, but unless the movie turns out to be boring or disgusting we usually consume it as a complete story, from beginning to end.
But when we watch television, there is often no intention of watching a specific program. Watching TV tends to be a time-filler, a 'browse': particularly since the proliferation of cable/satellite channels into hundreds, we often turn the TV on to see what might be interesting, and we watch until we are satiated or bored or have to do something else. ©
