那我一定看不懂。生活压力这么大，为什么还要看这些需要动脑子的电影？所以我还是最喜欢搞笑片、科幻片这类轻松的题材。还有 《 指环王 》 这样的史诗传奇也不错。

I definitely wouldn't understand those. There are so many pressures in real life, why would I want to watch movies that require mental exertion? So, my favorites are still silly comedies, science fiction, and similar light-hearted themes. Also, Lord of the Rings and similar legendary epic-style dramas are also pretty good.
