About the film Translate into Russian. Explain the grammar in underlined sentenses:
New York City. Melvin Udall, a cranky, bigoted, obsessive-compulsive writer, finds his life turned upside down when neighbor-
ing gay artist Simon is hospitalized and his little dog Verdell is entrusted to Melvin. In addition, Carol, the only waitress who
will tolerate him, must leave work to care for her sick son, making it impossible for Melvin even to eat his breakfast. He’s no
longer able to sustain his usual life, and has to change. This way, single mother-waitress, a misanthropic author, and a gay art-
ist form an unlikely friendship. Step by step, the wall of crankiness Melvin constructed around him is breaking down, and soon
he realizes that, maybe, it’s just as good as it gets.
Review Read it before watching. Answer whether you agree with it or not after watching:
It's really an incredibly honest character study. The acting is as superb as I've ever seen. Nobody overplays their role. Nobody's
playing to stereotypes, but they're not afraid to be who these characters are. Above all that brilliance, it's just funny...and sad. 1
It's just what you want it to be. There's nothing terribly unexpected, but the plot isn't predictable either.
It's simply one of the best movie's I've ever seen - mostly because it knows exactly what it is. It isn't pretentious. It isn't afraid
to be sappy, or funny or melodramatic or weird when it's called for. Every scene is just spot on. And somehow, you're left with
a little smile on your face. When has an Oscar Nominee done THAT!
Exercises and tasks Do these tasks after watching with a help of the «voca-book» you have the next page be-
low:
1. Write a review of yours. That will improve your way of thinking in English.
2. Read the words using transcription and their translation from each part before watching.
3. Try to paraphrase those you find difficult to remember.
4. Read and translate contextual sentences after watching so you could make sure you’ve got all the words properly.
5. Ask your partner questions around each part, using new words and phrases.
6. Remember who said each phrase or word, in the situations you’ve just watched.
7. Retell each situation. Especially those that are important for better understanding of the plot.
8. Put as many questions as you can to each part so that your partner could find the answers and discuss them with you.
9. Discussion: Please state your ideas about what friendship and eccentricity really are. Define these words.
10. Description: Describe Melvin/Simon/Carol/Frank/Carol’s mother, appearance, character, habits, things they go for
11. Describe Melvin as if you were Simon/ Frank/ Verdell / readers of his books
12. Describe Carol as if you were Spencer/ Simon/ customers at the cafe
13. Would you like to have such a friend as Melvin/Carol/Simon? Why?
14. What do you think about Melvin’s behavior? What are the reasons of such a creepy character he has? Have you ever met such
a person in the real life?
15. Split into groups: Your task is to have 2 columns on a sheet of paper and write some bad points about “being eccentric” in one
column and good points about it in another one. The team that names more such things wins.
16. Express your ideas: about the film, about the idea of it, about the music and the script.
17. Name all the plot lines. What lessons have you taken out this film? Discuss them in your group.
