elder brother are condemned to death. While Lincoln’s waiting
his execution, Michael scofield believes that his brother is
innocent; therefore, formulates an escape plan. The film is full of
suspense as they are passed from the police to the FBI. Set in the
world of crime, spies and secrets, this film will leave you looking
over shoulder to see who’s following you. Such exciting film is
worth watching. It’s very interesting.
One of my favorite films that I have recently seen in National
cinema center is Titanic, a love story film. It is about the sinking
of a luxury ship named Titanic on its first voyage across the
Atlantic Ocean. The main characters are Jack Dawson, a poor
man, and Rose Dewitt Bukater, a high social class woman. They
fall in love with each other. Unfortunately, the ship hits an
iceberg and sinks rapidly. Many people die, including Jack but
Rose still alive. I find it really interesting and moving. I love it
because of its beautiful and skillful characters and spectacular

scenes.
A horror TV serial drama I have seen on internet is the Walking
Dead. The film tells us about Rick Grimes who is a former police
of Atlanta (Andrew Lincoln played) with his family as well as
some groups of survivors after doomsday. To exist, they must
escape and fight against zombies. Some scenes were so terrifying
with killing zombies violently that I didn’t dare to see. However,
I prefer it to other films because of characters’ acting and their
bravery.
