English Day by Day is designed for school students to improve their performance in the English language.
Hi guys,
today was our last day of class before the holidays... awesome, ain't it?
We worked on a scene from the movie Philadelphia, first without the sound and you had to focus only on staging and acting to invent a possible dialogue. You did quite a good job assuming what the situation was.
You can watch the extract again below:
Here is what we said after watching the scene with sound:
Presentation:
The document is a scene from the movie "Philadelphia".
There are two characters: a black man (lawyer) and a white man (Mr Beckett).
Situation:
Mr Beckett is at the lawyer's office because he has been fired and he wants to sue his ex-boss. His company says that he has not been serious but he thinks there is an ulterior motive; he
believes he's been fired because he has AIDS.
The characters feelings and details:
- The Lawyer
* at first:
-> happy, enthusiastic to see an old acquaintance.
* when he learns Mr Beckett has AIDS:
-> scared and embarrassed
-> he thinks he can be infected / contaminated so he walks away from him and looks at everything he touches.
Emotions/attitudes:
- in a hurry
- suspicious
- He thinks Mr Beckett is untrustworthy
HW:
- Profitez de vos vacances, mais n'oubliez pas que la semaine de la rentrée, vous aurez probablement un test de vocabulaire / leçon sur le début de cette séquence AIDS.
- Je vous encourage à louer le film "Philadelphia" et à le regarder en anglais (sous-titré anglais si possible); ça ne pourra vous faire que du bien... :) et 3€99... ce n'est pas très cher...
