What I read
I found an interesting article on the BBC News so I would like to share it with my teacher and my classmates! This article is "Do men and women find different films funny?"

What it says
This article shows answers from the surveys about "Do men and women find different films funny?". There are 3 surveys. The first one is US Study which found that opting for the genres of film partly depends on gender, female college students tended to enjoy romantic film while male opted for dark comedies. The second one is BBC Culture which polled to find out the top 10 comedy films of all time, and the comedies more popular with male and female critics. The last one is German research which found that gender differences in preferences for film genres do exist.
My response
There are plenty of film's types, as you know, horror film, funny film, action film, adventure film, whimsical film, drama film, fantasy film, historical film, romance film, science fiction film, thriller film, political film, philosophical film etc. Everyone has his favorite film style. Mine is funny film.Actually, We cannot refuse to enjoy the funny film! But there are many genres of the funny film such as romantic comedy, dark comedy etc. According to this article, girls prefer romantic comedy but boys prefer dark comedy. For me, I enjoy all genres of the funny film as the funny film makes watchers be happy and laugh out loud!
I'm glad I decided to comment on Top's post below before coming back to New's, which is a bit more cheerful.
ReplyDeleteAs I reading New's summary and response, my firth thought was that I don't like romantic comedies, but fit the male trend of preferring dark comedies such as Dark Mirror. But then I remembered that one of the films during which I've laughed most is There's Something About Mary, which I first saw twenty of more years ago. I still remember watching it with friends one evening and how we repeatedly burst out laughing. It really was very funny.
But I was left wondering what New's favourites are!
I love watching film and my favorite genres are action and sci-fi such as Tron or Iron man. so , I think that the gender difference is one factor of preference of film . The other factors is the their own experience or their attitude. For example , some of my friends study medicine and they really love mystery or suspense film .
ReplyDeleteI always thought that favourite in anything is based on own attitude, style and characteristic more than the outlook like sex, even it is one factor, Movies also follow this criteria too, In fact, I am a science student, but I love fantasy and romantic more than sci-fi.
