Andy-Ru Posted June 28, 2007 at 01:29 PM Report Posted June 28, 2007 at 01:29 PM Hello again. I have two questions regarding genres of films. 1) How do you translate "action film", as in "Terminator is an action film"? 2) How do you translate "musical", as in "the Sound of Music is a popular musical"? Thanks Quote

muyongshi Posted June 28, 2007 at 02:02 PM Report Posted June 28, 2007 at 02:02 PM Musical - 音乐剧 Not doubting you here but I have always tried to figure this one out and mainly because my Chinese friends/teachers have never seen one they don't know what I'm talking about. It seems self-explanatory but can you maybe explain where you got that just to let me set my mind at ease when I go to use it. Thanks! Quote
gougou Posted June 28, 2007 at 02:04 PM Report Posted June 28, 2007 at 02:04 PM Can't remember where I got that one from, but my friend here is willing to confirm it. Quote

muyongshi Posted June 28, 2007 at 02:13 PM Report Posted June 28, 2007 at 02:13 PM I'll do that. At least the younger ones. Ha ha. Thanks for the tip. (oh wait, I haven't seen it yet...what is the genre???) Quote
