MY 'WEBSITES' PROJECT

In this project, I listened to an interview about a film. This film was ‘127 Hours’. This was one of the most impressive films I have ever watched. While listening, my aim was to understand the important points of the interview and write an article about it. I listened to it several times until I understood its important points. To be able to understand the native speakers of English was really difficult for me. With the help of this project, my listening skill is developed. Actually, this was both difficult and beneficial project.  Because I watched this film years ago, I enjoyed while doing this project. I hope you will like it too.

The person who was interviewed was Oscar winning scribe Simon Beaufoy, co writer of the 127 hours. He is also writer of the Full Monty and Slumdog Millionaire. The interviewer was Francine Stock. They talked about 127 hours and the challenge of dramatizing a narrative in which the ending is already widely known because of its book version.

At the beginning, the interviewer constructed the interview by giving some information about the film. She talked about what happened in the film and who the director is.  Then, she started to ask questions to Simon Beaufoy. He mentioned about the limited cast of the film and its challenges. Because the film’s ending is already common knowledge, it has a particular challenge for its writers. They gave special time to that topic.

Then, they talked about the book version of the film. According to Simon Beaufoy, this was the biggest challenge to make people rethink. The interviewer asked him the messages of the film. And the interview went on by asking and answering the questions.

In conclusion, they were mainly talked about the film, 127 Hours. The interviewer asked him some question. She wanted to understand his feelings about the film. The interview was related to both the film itself and its book version.

If I were the interviewer, I would like to ask to him:

 1)    Which one do you like most? The film itself or its book version.

 2)    What do you think about the setting of the film?
