A film is-or should be-more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings.
---Stanley Kubrick
电影，应该说，更像音乐而非小说。它是一种情绪和感觉的酝酿过程。主题、隐秘的情感、意义，所有这些，都是逐渐明朗的。

My favourite film star is Leonardo DiCaprio, who is an Academy Award-winning actor and a five-time Academy Award nominee. He is very handsome and has given brilliant performances in all his films. The film, The Great Gatsby, in which he stars, is my favourite. My favourite director is Zhang Yimou, a world-famous film director, screenwriter, and producer.

The film critic uses a metaphor in his lecture to describe the fact that a lot of work is done behind the scenes in film-making. Find the metaphor in the lecture and write a metaphor of your own to describe the film-making process.
A good film-making team is a sophisticated machine. There are many different parts and they all need to work together smoothly for the film to be a success. Even the parts you cannot see are important in some way.

Reading
Learn this:
A metaphor compares one thing to another without using "as" or "like".
It draws the reader's attention to the similarities between two things. This way, unfamiliar things can be explained with something people are more familiar with.
