I don't like movies. Not at all. They could stop making them and it wouldn't bother me. I don't like going to the cinema. It's too dark. You have to sit there completely silent. If you talk, someone always tells me to shut up. Where's the fun in that? Then the volume jumps up suddenly and I hate when they do that. Movies are fake. There are no real people. They don't touch each other. You have to sit still and quiet and watch without saying anything. It's boring. Really boring. The actors, the people in the movie, they're not actually at the cinema. They send a video, like the ones that come on your phone.

I only like going to the cinema before and after the movie. I go with my friends or my cousins. That's when I have fun. In the car we laugh and joke. We sing too. Then we go inside and it gets dark and we have to sit there without talking. But when the movie ends, thank goodness, we can talk again. I almost always fall asleep during the film. They wake me up and ask if I want popcorn. But I always bring chips and a sandwich from home. Sometimes we all eat pizza together or a sandwich. That's what I like about the cinema. Not the movie.
I don't like it on TV either. I only watch sports on television: soccer, basketball, volleyball, swimming, water polo, and marathons. I watch them with my grandmother, who's ninety-one and blind. I explain everything that happens. And she cheers for whoever I tell her to. But I really love going to the theater. I go every Saturday or Sunday. Sometimes to Trastevere and sometimes to the Brancaccio. The theater is beautiful because the actors are actually there. You see them. You hear them. You watch them up close. Sometimes you even talk to them while they're performing. When it ends, I stand up and clap because they're so good at doing the show right there in front of people and they remember everything by heart. Then I go backstage to say hello and shake their hands and tell them they were great. The really handsome ones—I'd marry them.
