Theatre is
a part of people’s lives since antiquity. When people are free they want to do
something, see or learn something new. When they go to the theatre or concert
they can relax, meet friends, learn anything new. Some people are bored, want
to escape from normal life. They can smile or cry if they want. It quite a
problem to get to the theatre sometimes because the tickets are more and more
expensive. Some performances of exhibitions take place only in big cities or in
Prague.

I saw the
play Polská Krev written by Oscar Nedbal. It was a musical. I liked it. It was
quite fun, actors had nice costumes, the music also wasn’t bad.

Mr. Bean is one
of the best films I have ever seen. It is a brilliant comedy full of a special
king of humour. Some people don’t like this sort of humour but I love it. I’ve
forgotten who was it directed by but in the lead you could see excellent Rowan
Atkinson with his excellent grins. As I said it’s a comedy and it takes place
in New York. Mr. Bean is sent to America (As an art specialist but he knows
nothing about it. He had just worked as a watchman in one gallery in Great
Britain). His opinions are very strange but people admire him because they
think he is the best artist in the world. He lives by one man in Los Angeles
and during a few days he is destroying his house and work as well as whole his family.
Fortunately everything will fall out well. This film was such a big fun and I
really enjoyed a song written by Beatles –Yesterday. The man sang it when his
life was totally destroyed. I liked the film very much so I am going to see it
once more next week. If you don’t see it you should go too.
In the cinema, the screen is a little bit bigger, the sound is better.
There are a lot of people, it‘s not comfortable.
TV – more comfortable, you can sit, lie, eat, do what you want, the screen
is small, you are alone.
Rowan
Atkinson or Jim Carrie. They play in quite mad films, comedies, I like
comedies, They have such a stupid grins, but they are great. I don‘t like
action heroes with big muscles. Their films are still the same. They are alone
but kill hundreds of people.
Claudia
Scheefer, Pamela Anderson – nice face, body, the films are sometimes stupid
I have
never been to a concert of classical music. I don‘t hear this kind of music but
it doesn‘t have to be bat. It can be good for relax. This kind or concerts
takes place in special concert halls, opera houses, with special background.
You have to wear dinner jacket or suit, tie, shoes… I visited some rock concert
and it was perfect. You can say no! The music is too loud, there is smell too
much people, but when you listen to the music you like you don‘t mind it. This
concert takes place in some halls, stadiums or just open air, the tickets cost
the same as the tickets for theatre for example.
