Interview

My interviewee talked about a movie called Das Boot, which is his favorite movie, and he said that he has watched it more than twenty times. But I never watched it, also never heard this movie since it is really old. So I asked him what the movie is talking about. He told me that it is a historical film based on World War II, and it's talk about  a soldier's life at a German's submarine. He mention that it's sort of introspect, and anybody involved in the war is still human, whether they are “good guy” or “bad guy", they still just human in forced drafted into the situation that is not ideal but still have to do the best that they can. When I asked him does he think there are something could be improved. He said he thinks it has done very well, and he could not improve it. He also don't know who could. He told me that he was attracted by the fact that the movie is demonized by humanize's character. In addition, he thinks the leading character did a very excellent job.

At the beginning of the interview I didn't explain clearly what am I going to do, so he felt a little bit confused, which made me feel nervous too. And I exactly have no idea about the movie that he mentioned. So most part of the reviewing I didn't understand clearly at that time, and I didn't give him my feedback. That's why he kept asking did he make sense. And I also realized that when I wanted to ask a question that I didn't prepared, I can't say it in a right way, if the sentence is complicated.
