Exercise 4
The br I went to see last week was quite cool. The cs were really colourful, and the ae at the cinema was silent all through the film. The sg was in the US in the 1990s, and the cs said it was the best thing ever done. I liked the ss with a lot of slow mn the best because I could see all the gs in detail. I bet the actors had been rg those scenes forever! I won’t even talk about the sk, which was great because they had used the best musicians for it. All in all, it was a super cinema experience!
