CURTAIN UP!

There are lots of ways how can spend your free time. Cinema, theaters and
festivals can help you.
It is difficult nowadays to think about our life without cinema. Cinema is
one of the best types of art. It is a combination of different types of art: music,
theater, literature, painting and else. Cinema was black-and-white and now it is
coloured. Cinema is not only an entertainment but also a good way to improve
your knowledge. There are many documentary films which help us to learn more
about the Earth and other planets, animals, plants, people. When I want to go to the
cinema I search for information about new films on the Internet. You can easily
find a list of all the cinemas in the city and what is on there today. Then I phone
my friend and we discuss what we want to see. We like films with a lot of action,
special effects. I prefer cartoons, fairy tales, romantic films or good comedies.
My favourite film is The Mask. It is a comedy. Jim Carrey is Stanley Ipkiss
in this film and he is a nice guy. Stanley found a magic mask. When he dresses it
up he turns into a funny green man with super powers.
Nowadays, the theatre is less popular than the cinema. Theatre tickets are
very expensive, especially in good theatres. So we can say that a visit to a famous
theatre has become an expensive pleasure. There are a lot of theatres in Ukraine
and some of them are popular all over the world.
Festivals are very popular in our country too. Food And Wine Festival in
Kyiv or Lviv, Gogol Fest and Atlas Weekend –are music festivals, Molodist and
Odessa International Film Festival - are cinema festivals. I would like to visit all
of them
