All the movie goers in Taiwan may never realize how much they rely on Chinese subtitles until they face this: Movie Quotes Game.
I had this game with my boy at the dinner table on his mom’s birthday. I remember my quotes were “Good sir? I heard you were a poet,” and “I’ll never let go. I’ll never let go, Jack.” Aren’t they easy to guess? This year, the 79th Annual Academy Awards plays it to all you movie buffs. From OBLIQUITY, I read that the Academy paid homage to memorable quotes of the films it has honored. Check out the poster!
Among those listed 105 quotes, my boy and I could recognise the following ones. Go to OBLIQUITY to find out the rest. Let’s have a game!
1. “It was beauty killed the beast.”
