A NEW FILM.
PAUL: I hear Joe Schultz's new film 'The System' isn't going to be given the '12' certificate he wanted.
LINA: So youngsters can't see it? I'm not surprised. The reviewers say that watching the first few minutes is pretty unpleasant – there's a lot of aggression.
PAUL: That didn't seem to worry the authorities. Nor did the strong language, although there's quite a bit of that, but they couldn't take the little bursts of rather tense music – makes your hair stand on end, apparently!
LINA: Interesting. Anyway, I don't think the storyline's really suitable for young children – too much delving into people's thoughts and motives.
PAUL: True. You've read the book?
LINA: Oh yeah. A great page-turner. I had no idea what the final outcome would be.
PAUL: Oh, I guessed. I loved the way the author uses dialect all the way through – a bit out of the ordinary.
LINA: Takes some getting used to, but if s decidedly different. You can't really believe the Prince Is based on a real person from the past, though, can you?
PAUL: I thought he did come over well, considering how little we know about people from that era.
LINA: We'll go and see the film, won't we?
PAUL: Definitely.
