How long do you want a movie to last? When do you start looking at your watch and wonder when you can leave the darkness of the cinema?

Or maybe it doesn't matter because you watch everything on streaming services, and you can pause anytime you like.

But according to a survey from the US, the perfect movie length is 92 minutes — about the same as a soccer match.

A polling company called Talker Research asked 2,000 people how long movies should be.

Only about 2% said they thought movies should be longer than two and a half hours, while just 15% want to watch a movie that's more than two hours long.

Movies like Dodgeball, Kung Fu Panda and Toy Story 2 are all about 92 minutes long.

But data suggests that the most popular movies are getting longer and longer.

A website called What to Watch found that the average length of the most successful movies has increased from 110 minutes in 1981 to 141 minutes in 2022.

The Guardian reports that nine out of the top 10 most successful films of all time are longer than two hours. Three of them are longer than three hours.

However, some say it's not the length of the film that's important, but how good it is.

There are really long films that feel much shorter because they're so interesting, and there are shorter movies that you wish would just end fast!

Therapeutic English for your life. How to succeed in life and how to stay happy. 

We tend to have lots of thoughts and ideas about things but what's the quality of those thoughts?

Are they supporting us or destroyng us?

Do we know what they are ?

What if we'll ( for once ) become aware of what's in your mind and realize ( finally ) what is the real reason why we stumble from time to time.

Will that be of assistance?

This podcast will help you to explore what's in your mind so you may never need a coach or a psychologist as you'll know what you are creating.

Use it and May The Force Be With You :)

こんばんは！Atsushiです。
今回も慣用句シリーズでいきます。

今日は肩を使った慣用句です。
今日も3つ話します。

① 肩の荷が下りる ーかたのにがおりる
これは、責任などから解放されて、気持ちが楽になる、という意味です。
例えば、
ーこの大役が終わって肩の荷が下りた。
ーこの仕事をやめて、ようやく肩の荷が下りた。
などと使います。


② 肩を落とす ーかたをおとす
これは、がっかりすること、を指す意味です。
例えば、
ー大切な試験に落ちた彼は、大きく肩を落とした。
ー彼はずっと好きだった彼女に振られ、大きく肩を落とした。
などと使います。

③ 肩を持つ ーかたをもつ
これは、対立している人の一方の味方をすること、などの意味です。
例えば、
ーそうやっていつもあの人の肩を持って！とか、
ーあの部長はいつも彼の肩を持つよね。
とか、言います。



肩は責任、期待のようなイメージとして捉えられていることが多いです。他の国ではどうなんでしょうか。気になりますね。

ということで、いかがだったでしょうか。
今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！
ではまた！
