Movie –Escape Room : (Always Spoil Alert)- the way to learn English

Spoil Alert – It absolutely content stuff 東西 of the movie. If you haven’t seen that. Please go see first, then come back to read

Escape Room : I like to learn English outside the box. Watching movie is one of my way to learn English versatilely 多才地 多方面地 . Itune and Netfix are my own private theater. Hollywood movies are my best bet. Compare with other language’s movie, Hollywood movie occupy a large portion of my choice.

Renting a movie on itune cost me around HKD 38 and HKD 158 for buying one for newest blockbuster. Google play movie’s price closed and mostly cheaper. The good thing is you can repeat the line indefinitely. If you rent it , you can watch it unlimited times within 48 hours. Bought movies you can share to your family members so as to make the movie valuable. I have tested the quality even on a huge TV (65 inchs) , the resolution is still amazing. On one hand, I will take photos of new vocabularies, one the other hand, I will read plot on Wikipedia after I watched it. With the enhance of motion picture, I can learn text from plot deeply.

We are non-native English speaker, we rely on Chinese subtitles, do catch up sometime, don’t occasionally. So we have tendency to miss something in the content

Something I don’t understand before. After I read Wikipedia (one of my way to learn English read Wikipedia)

Before I am not clear why they put “ Rudolph “ to the seven-letter combination lock

now I know : It related the song of “ Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer “ which Ben and his friend sang before the car crash. And here are some lyrics of the song.

– qte –

then how the reindeer loved him          其他的麋鹿因而如此地喜愛他

as they shouted out with glee 歡天喜地              他們興奮的大喊著

“Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer        紅鼻麋鹿魯道夫,

you’ll go down in history.” 大家都會記得你

– unqte –

Next : I am going to read Wikipedia regarding movie “ Get Out”
