Hello!
With vacation quickly approaching, it's no surprise that the WordMaster - that biggest of movie fans - is keenly anticipating the summer movie season. He'd like to share that excitement with you this week by taking a second look at a series of expressions we introduced about five years ago. So sit back and enjoy some WordMaster classics!
SLEEPER 思いがけず当たった映画(演劇)
- A sleeper is a movie, play, etc. that attracts little notice at first, but becomes an unexpected success.
- sleeper は、当初、あまり注目されていなかったにも関わらず、思いがけず当たった映画や演劇などのことです。
- The sleeper of the summer, an independent film shot by an unknown director, started playing in just 50 theaters and with almost no advertising.
- (movie critic)
This extraordinary film, a real sleeper that has come from nowhere, shows us just how powerful an intelligent documentary can be. - Max Berlitz's new romantic comedy looks to become the sleeper hit of the year, beating out all three big-budget action-adventure movies that were expected to dominate (= lead) at the box office.
Have a great day!
