A movie is a film that tells a story. Movies are made by actors (or actresses) who read the words from a script and a cameraman records them with a film camera. Movies are shown in a theater or on TV. Sometimes movies make a lot of money. Some movies are very popular, like The Titanic, which had a record number of ticket sales. Other movies are not as popular, but may still be great, such as Schindler’s List or The Shawshank Redemption. Some movies get Oscar nominations or wins, which means that the movie was thought to be very good.
Dramas are stories about people in trouble or in a serious situation. They can be sad or funny. They usually have a lot of tension in them and are often based on true events. For example, a family who is in danger of losing their house might be in a drama.
Romantic comedies are often about love stories. They can also be about people who are trying to find love or get back together with someone. For example, a man who tries to convince his wife that he loves her again is in a romantic comedy.
Thrillers are movies that have a lot of suspense in them. They usually have a mystery in them and there are often twists (surprises) in the plot. For example, a woman who is suspected of killing her husband might be in a thriller.
