1 Some people don’t know how to take / raise / make responsibility for their actions. 2 Can I take / raise / make a suggestion?

1 I enjoyed the film even though the ending was very predict. ................................................... 2 Only a small minor of films at our local cinema are non-American. ................................................... 3 I hate endings which are left to the viewers’ imagine.

filmgoers ■^ awesome ■^ office ■^ paced ■^ worth ■^ plot ■^ role ■^ characters ■^ script ■^ cast When films are made, there are always some scenes which are cut. Often these cuts are forced on the director by the film studio in an attempt to make the film a box- 1 ................................................... hit. These cuts might change the 2 ................................................... , for example, by giving the film a happy ending. They might reduce the film’s length to prevent 3 ................................................... from getting bored. Often, minor 4 ................................................... are left out, which must be very upsetting for the actors who were playing those parts. However, a smaller 5 ................................................... can help the audience as there are fewer people to remember. Unfortunately, the decisions about which parts to cut are often made without asking the director. Important parts of the 6 ................................................... are left unsaid, making the film difficult to follow. Since DVDs became popular, though, directors have had a chance to show the world their own version of their film. One of the most famous examples of this is Blade Runner , a science-fiction film from 1982 with Harrison Ford playing the leading 7 .................................................... It was an exciting, fast- 8 ................................................... film, although it wasn’t a huge commercial success.

All the different versions are 9 ................................................... seeing, but the director’s final cut is 10 ................................................... , and so is the recent sequel, Blade Runner 2049.
