1 Ten classic movies that beginners must watch when learning English.

1. Dark moment

"The Dark Hour" tells the story of how Winston Churchill, the British Prime Minister, ordered his retreat and led out of the dark, which can be said to be the best supplement to another popular film "Dunkirk".

The film lineup is extremely strong: director joe wright directed Pride and Prejudice, screenwriter wrote The Theory of Everything, photographer filmed Angels Love Beauty, and Gary Oldman, who plays Churchill, is recognized as the seed of the best actor in this year's Academy Awards.

Suggestion: Churchill is said to have mastered one of the most English words in history (more than120,000), and language is his most powerful weapon. Exquisite diction, classic and beautiful British accent, and Odeman's extremely high restoration of the famous "Churchill Speech" are all worth watching again and again.

2. "Youth"

A film that can be called a masterpiece. The plot is very simple, telling the growth process of a boy from 6 to 18. Different from ordinary movies, this movie is starred by two actors, one is big and the other is small. It's been 12 years, and the actors haven't changed. You can really feel the passage of time and regain familiar memories in the details of the times.

There are three awards in the 72nd Golden Globe Awards: Best Drama, Best Director and Best Supporting Actress.

Suggestion: The language of the film is very distinctive. Daily narrative dialogue runs through, occasionally jumping out of speculation and philosophy. For oral English learning, such a simple and real multi-dialogue film close to the life scene is the best choice.

3. bridge of spies

See how an ordinary person changes national diplomacy. The film is adapted from the true story of American lawyer Donovan, who was involved in the turmoil between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War, but successfully realized the prisoner exchange between the two countries.

Director Spielberg said that when he first saw it, he thought it was a movie, so he stopped the preparation of Dream Blowing Giant and filmed bridge of spies.

Suggestion: The contrast between standard American English and Russian flavor English in the film is worth seeing. For English learning, slow and standard English in school is almost impossible to meet in real life. People from different countries speak English with different accents. This film is a good example.

4. Paddington Bear 2

A warm family movie. Paddington Bear tells the story of a bear from the Peruvian jungle who lives in an ordinary house in London. It won everyone's love with its innocence, and also changed the indifferent living conditions of people around it. This story tells the story of a bear who was framed and imprisoned, only to be exonerated after twists and turns.

Not to mention the cute little bear Paddington, how many jokes he made, a short story, but exquisite and perfect, like a handicraft, which can reflect the tradition of English drama.

Suggestion: Bears are very popular in Britain and are a good topic for chatting and breaking ice. In addition, there are various British accents in the film. Among them, hugh grant plays the villain, and one person plays seven English accents of different genders, classes and identities, which is amazing.

5. The Great Lady Mercer

The play is set in the United States in the 1950s. Bai married a suitable husband and became a rich wife with peace of mind. However, because her husband cheated on her, she finally ran away from home and became the talk show queen.

Here, you can see the retro atmosphere in Mad Men, the full spit skills in Bankrupt Sisters, and the rise of women's thoughts. After the broadcast, Amazon has booked two seasons, which is undoubtedly a dark horse this winter.

Suggestion: The language of the talk show comes from life and also reflects the diverse culture of the United States. If you are interested in talk shows or want to be an advanced English learner, this drama is a good choice.
