About the film Translate into Russian. Explain the grammar in underlined sentenses:
Between world wars, the Whittaker's estate is sinking; only the iron will of Mrs. Whittaker staves off bankruptcy
while she awaits her son John's return from the continent. To her dismay, he brings a bride: an American widow who
races cars. The bride, Larita, thinks she and John will visit and then go to London, where he'll work and she'll race. But
John is to the manor born, and mother is nothing if not a master at plans and manipulation. Soon it's all-out war be-
tween mother and bride, with John's father, a burnt out veteran of the Great War, in the bride's corner ineffectually.
Mother has a plan to join with the neighboring estate; only Larita is in her way. Can't we all get along?
Review Read it before watching. Answer whether you agree with it or not after watching:
1
From the flamboyant director of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, this sublime adaptation of Noel Coward's tragic-comic
play zings with dazzling wit and impeccable timing delivered by acting of the highest order. Who knew Jessica Biel
could be so delicious as the American interloping fallen woman? Among the British stars, Colin Firth provides the coun-
terpoint gravitas as a WWI surviving member of the "lost generation" who turns the tables on his insufferable wife
(Kristin Scott Thomas) and besotted son. Easily one of the most entertaining movies of the past several years, it de-
served the genuine spontaneous standing ovation at the world premiere screening I attended at the Toronto film festi-
val. Scott Thomas is devastating in a totally different French-speaking role in "I've loved you for so long", for which she
deserves an Oscar nomination. But see this for arch Brit humor at its finest
Exercises and tasks Do these tasks after watching with a help of the «voca-book» you have the next page below:
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 love and lie. Define these words.
10. Description: Describe Larita/Jim/John/Veronica, appearance, character, habits, things he goes for
11. Describe Larita as if you were John/Jim/Veronica
12. Describe Veronica as if you were Larita/Jim/John
13. Would you like to have such a friend as Larita/John/Veronica? Why?
14. What do you think about the idea of true love? What are you ready to do for your true love?
15. Split into groups: Your task is to have 2 columns on a sheet of paper and write some bad points about “what is more important
- love or responsibilities” 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.
