>>MaTcH PoInT<<

the subtitles off this film are passion, obsession and temptation. explain why watching the trailer.
passion is really a big thing from the film because chris has got a really big passion with Nola because she is a beautiful and impressive girl. about obsession i can say that there are a lot during the film like Chris with Nola and also when Chloe wants to have a child with Chris. the temptation in the film is that Chris has only Nola in mind because for him she is an obsession and durin the film she felt in the temptaion to kiss her when he is with chloe at the same time.

watch this amazing take. at what point of the film does it take place?who is talking first?how does the director present the two characters?how can you interpret this words? Translate this dialogue into english.

it takes place in the middle of the film. Nola is the first one who talks. Chris shows like he doesn't know what to say and he seems a shy person but when he begans to speak it isn't like in the begining. Nola is defiant during all the film and that's way Chris is so obsessionate with her.
Nola: well, which is my victim, you?
Chris: it does a lot of time that I don't play ping-pong.
Nola: do you want to play for 1000 pounds the match?
Chris: where I

5- Comment on this scene. What do you think?
Is luck or hard work what makes a difference?

I think that the director wants to say to us that in this life you can have goodluck or perhaps no it depends in a lot of things.
and the director wants to say the same with this words.

6- The title is a tennis expression: why is this title used by the director?

the title is used by the director because the main character wons the last point because he kills the two persons which will bring him problems during his life.


7- Woody Allen, the director is known for his opinions and sayings, which are often quoted. Look for some quotes and choose one that you like in particular. Say why.

I tended to place my wife under a pedestal.
we think that it is original but we don't like it because he's a male chauvinist!!

Computers have made the world a better place

Computers have made us a society with really big problems.
On the one hand I have to say that computers are good machines and with a lot of high technology to find a lot of information in an easy way.
On the other hand I have to say that computers are most of the times a thing that society uses to chat with friends around the world or only with friends from class or others through the internet that’s way they are becoming elements which make us a society with big problems.
In conclusion computers are good and bad also but if people don’t use them with caution they are dangerous.
