English Conversation Practice – Discussing the Influence of Movies on Emotions, Relationships, and Cultural Awareness Through Personal Favorites and Shared Experiences


Sophia: Hey, Liam! How’s it going?

Liam: Hi, Sophia! I’m good, thanks. Just watched a movie—what about you?

Sophia: Perfect timing! Funny you should mention movies because I’ve been thinking about how they shape our emotions and perspectives. Do you think films have a big impact on us?

Liam: Absolutely. Movies can make you laugh, cry, or even question your beliefs—they’re powerful storytelling tools.

Sophia: So true. Last week, I rewatched The Pursuit of Happyness , and it reminded me to stay resilient during tough times.

Liam: That’s a great one. For me, Forrest Gump always stands out—it shows how kindness and perseverance can change lives.

Sophia: Beautiful message. Speaking of messages, do you think movies reflect societal issues well?

Liam: Definitely. Films like Parasite highlight class struggles in ways that provoke thought and discussion.

Sophia: Exactly. Watching international cinema opens doors to different cultures—I loved Roma for its raw portrayal of family dynamics in Mexico.

Liam: Same here. Foreign films often feel more authentic. Have you noticed how movies strengthen relationships too?

Sophia: Oh, absolutely. My sister and I bond over romantic comedies—they’re our go-to when we need a pick-me-up.

Liam: Haha, rom-coms are classic comfort films. I once planned an entire date night around Notting Hill —it was unforgettable.

Sophia: Aww, that sounds sweet. Movies create shared experiences. By the way, do you prefer watching alone or with others?

Liam: Both have their charm. Solo viewings let me focus deeply, but group watches add fun commentary.

Sophia: True. Once, my friends and I did a marathon of Marvel movies—it turned into this hilarious debate about favorite superheroes.

Liam: Haha, debates are half the fun! Who’s your favorite?

Sophia: Spider-Man—he’s relatable and has such heart. What about you?

Liam: Iron Man, hands down. His wit and growth throughout the series make him iconic.

Sophia: Fair choice. On the flip side, have you ever walked out of a movie disappointed?

Liam: Yes! There was this highly anticipated blockbuster everyone raved about, but the plot twists felt forced—it ruined the experience.

Sophia: Ugh, been there. High expectations can backfire. Still, bad movies sometimes lead to funny memories.

Liam: True. Laughing at cheesy lines makes them worth it. Speaking of genres, do you stick to favorites or explore new ones?

Sophia: I love exploring. Recently, I ventured into documentaries—they’re eye-opening and inspire action.

Liam: Same here. Documentaries like 13th or Won’t You Be My Neighbor? stay with you long after viewing.

Sophia: Exactly. They challenge perspectives and spark conversations. Wrapping this up, do you think movies will continue influencing future generations?

Liam: Without a doubt. As long as stories matter, films will evolve and resonate across cultures.

Sophia: Well said. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Liam. This conversation reminded me why movies are so impactful.

Liam: Likewise, Sophia. Let’s watch something together soon—you choose the genre!

Sophia: Deal! Talk soon, Liam.

Liam: Bye, Sophia! Enjoy your next film.
