1.When you think of the cinema,the phrase"watching a movie"probably comes to mind,and,in fact,moviemakers work very hard to make their films interesting visually (視覺上).But movies also contain stories,dialogues,music,and sound effects-things that people don't need to see in order to enjoy.
Movie reviewer Marty Klein has created a website called Blindspots to help visually impaired (損壞的) people choose movies that they can follow without the help of an assistant to explain what is happening on the screen.Klein gives movies a rating from 1to 10based on several factors.A movie receives a high rating if there are only a few main characters whose voices are easy to recognize.Klein also likes an interesting story without too many changes in time and place.A large amount of dialogue between the characters is better than long silences or noisy action scenes.
Of course,blind or visually impaired people can enjoy many films with help from a friend who doesn't mind explaining the parts of a movie that can only be seen.But that means that someone is talking during the movie,which could annoy some audience members.It also means that blind people cannot go to the movies independently.To solve these problems,some movie theaters have begun to offer recorded audio descriptions of the movements,scenery,and special effects that other audience members can see on the screen.Blind moviegoers receive a wireless headset to wear during the movie.This allows them to listen to the narration while still hearing a movie's music and other sounds that surround them in the theater.
Another blind movie reviewer,Jay Forry,writes movie reviews that are published on his website,Blindside Reviews.He also writes for newspapers and is a guest on radio shows.Forry gives movies one of five ratings,including,"So good,blind people will like it"and"I'm glad I couldn't see it."Forry became a writer after going blind at the age of 28and deciding to go to college.His first articles appeared in the college newspaper,and Forry's writing skills and sense of humor are what keep people reading his reviews or listening to them on the radio.After"watching"The Sixth Sense,F(xiàn)orry commented that he thought the movie was excellent,but that he envied the boy who was the main character:"He had six senses,and I only have four."
