Сейчас, когда кинематограф достиг почти высшей ступени развития, появляется множество новых фильмов. Все они разные и в каждом из них свой смысл.
Мой любимый фильм - "Джокер".
В этом фильме главный герой джокер.
Мне нравится этот фильм тем, что происходит много чего интересного и у него увлекательный сюжет. Также в фильме актёры очень хорошо прочувствовали своего персонажа. Все эмоции были как настоящие. Казалось всё это происходило на самом деле.
Этот фильм интересен тем, что в нём говорится о тех вещах, которые к сожалению могут произойти в реальной жизни. Печальные события. Например, в этом фильме было много потерь и расставаний.
Ну а самое интересное в этом фильме, это конечно сюжет и развитие событий. Ничего не происходит просто так. Каждое действие ведёт после себя какие-либо последствия. Там нет лишних героев. Все задействованы в каком-нибудь событии.
Я думаю, что этот фильм интересен не только мне, потому что он фантастический.
