When you think of the cinema,the phrase "watching a movie" probably comes to mind,and,in fact,moviemakers work very hard to make their films interesting visually(視覺(jué)地).But movies also contain stories,dialogue,music,and sound effects-things that people don't need to see in order to enjoy.
Movie reviewer Marty Klein has created a website called Blindspots to help blind people choose movies that they can follow without the help of an assistant to explain what is happening on the screen.Klein gives movies a rating from 1 to 10 based on several factors(因素).A movie receives a high rating if there are only a few main characters whose voices are easy to recognize.Klein also likes an interesting story without too many changes in time and place.A large amount of dialogue between the characters is better than long silences or noisy action scenes.
Another blind movie reviewer,Jay Forry,writes movie reviews that are published on his website,Blindside Reviews.He also writes for newspapers and is a guest on radio shows.Forry gives movies one of five ratings,including, "So good,blind people will like it" and "I'm glad I couldn't see it." Forry became a writer after going blind at the age of 28 and deciding to go to college.His first articles appeared in the college newspaper.People felt Forry's sense of humor by reading his reviews or listening to them on the radio.After "watching" The Sixth Sense,F(xiàn)orry commented that he thought the movie was excellent,but that he envied the boy who was the main character: "He had six senses,and I only have four."
