Just Like A Movie , by Sue Leather (The whole book from page 4 to 32)

I`ve just read a book , it was very interesting .Today , i`d like to talk about the content of the whole book . The title of the book is " Just Like A Movie "written by Sue Leather . There are four characters in the story :Brad Black , Gina , Carrie , Joe Rufino . Brad and Gina were a couple .They fell in love with each other after meeting many times at Salvo`s Italian restaurant .Both of them loved movies .They wanted to get married , but they were poor .One Saturday , they went to see a movie called "Dead Money ". That movie was like their situation ; there were a man and a woman , they dearly loved each other but they had no money to get married . After that , the woman decided to get married to a lonely , rich man . He liked her a lot , but he was very old and sick . Then , about six months later, he died suddenly . She got all his money , millions of dollars and married her young boyfriend . After the movie , Brad asked Gina to try to make money that way and they would have a lot of money to get married. Gina smiled and refused , she thought it was so stupid .Gina talked to Brad "Money isn`t everything " , she just wanted to have a happy marriage . One day , Brad met Carrie , she was very rich but lonely . He wanted to marry Carrie and then killed her for money to get married to Gina because he only loved Gina. He didn`t want to let Gina know about Carrie . After he got married to Carrie , he found it difficult to kill her because she wasn`t old , and sick . He thought he could kill Carrie by making her falling off the roof like in a drama that he had ever seen . And the police would think she fell , but he killed her . Actually, Carrie was very lucky , she could manage to climb down . Then she realized her husband wanted to kill her . One day , she met Gina and they became good friends . Carrie told Gina about her husband , Gina told Carrie about her boyfriend . Finally , Gina and Carrie recognized they were the same person . Carrie told Gina about what happened on the roof. Gina couldn`t love Brad anymore . Finally , Brad was imprisoned for five years.When Brad was in prison , he told his friend Rufino about his story .Rufino told Brad this story could make him millions of dollars in Hollywood and he didn`t need to kill anyone . Brad thought everything happened just like a movie ...
In my opinion , i`m really interested in this book . It showed us the adverse effect of the film on people . Sometimes , it can make people crazy because they`ll act like a film . If people exceedingly concentrate on what they saw in a movie , they`ll think it is reasonable to apply that situation to real life .Actually , it`s all crazy if people have a thought like that.
