For each questions write 35 words. You can add extra information.

1. What do you prefer drama, Science fiction, or thrillers? Why?

Actually my tastes are very varied, after all I'm always looking for films that
move me, I cry with all styles of cinema and series, but I like drama and science fiction
more or less, scary movies are not much to my liking, if I watch them I do it in the
company of someone.

2. What is a famous movie scene that many people remember?

I think that a scene that is always a classic of the cinema of my time, would be
the scene of the Titanic, while the ship was sinking and to see how everyone runs and
despairs and the end, to me it is very striking that even if I see it several times, every
time it makes me cry too much.

3. Which is a film based on a book?

The ones I like the most are the Harry Potter saga, the Twilight Saga, Wuthering
Heights, among others.

4. Which film is based on a true story?

One of the ones I like the most is Catch Me If You Can. Steven Spielberg's best
film of the 21st century, a delicious game of cat and mouse with extraordinary Tom
Hanks and Leonardo DiCaprio, although Christopher Walken shines in his few but
marvellous appearances. Proof that pure entertainment cinema can reach levels achieved
by few films, based on the true story of Frank Abagnale.
