[MarcK]

Age?: 20

Gender?: i am a MAN

What kind of films do you enjoy?: Drama, Animation, Horror, Sci-fi, Thriller

How often do you go to the cinema?: Once a week at least, if by cinema you mean downloading movies illegaly and watching them at home on the computer, on top of a weekly film screening of historically relevant movies.

Do you enjoy films involving cons and conmen?: Love them. They're always very interesting. Manipulation and evil in the view of a protagonist or just a main character is always interesting by default.

Do you feel that stories involving drama based around inner conflict are interesting?: Depends on the movie and how it's displayed. Secret Window does this very well, some others where characters are standing around thinking aloud to themselves isn't done very well.

Would you enjoy seeing a film about a conman trying to change his life?: Again, it depends on the movie and how the movie shows the points. Based solely off the idea it has potential but it isn't my favorite.
