I used to watch MAD TV back in Canada, and one of my favourite sketches was of the game show Vague. (Check it out. It’s very funny.)
Q: Who was that guy who did that thing?
A: The guy with the hair.
Q: That’s correct!
I remembered it recently when I got a composition from a student of mine. They were supposed to write a review of a film. I have corrected the grammatical errors.
The film is full of action and suspense. It is a mystery story with many strange things. The actors in the film, who are the French woman and the man, are searching for something very interesting and strange. But they are not alone in the story. The police are searching for them because they believe that they are the people who killed the person in the museum. Moreover, these two people are being followed by others who want the same strange thing, because it is interesting to them.
Vague and redundant. But perhaps an accurate reflection of how well the student actually understood the film. (And at least he/she didn’t write about Titanic.)
Aw, that’s the teacher in you speaking. I thought it was a masterpiece of vagueness.
Plus, I’m not even sure she’s seen the film, or if she knows if she did or not. She may have or heard about it, or something.
Whatever.
Does the film have a title? It sounds pretty interesting to me!
She called it “The Code Da Vinci”.
Well, to give her credit, I was able to figure out which film it was.
It shames me to admit that I recognized the movie in question from only this description. I’m not convinced that this particular adventure required a more detailed review.
I like your blog, though…
the composition reads better than the actual book the film was based on me thinks
(she said provocatively)
