Hi guys,
Could you please review my long narrative essay?
Thanks everyone for your help.
Cut! This is a very memorable word for me that I will never forget for the rest of my life.
I like to watch all kinds of movies and to watch how they make a movie in real life, but I have never dreamed of being in the movie with famous actors. My unforgettable first movie with my favorite actors happened in the summer of 1979.
My brother worked in one of the popular television and radio station in our country. Since he works there I take this opportunity to watch the live television shows and how they make a movie.
I worked in a nice restaurant and club as a waitress where celebrities and actors come and hang out there. One day, my supervisor told everyone that actors will make a movie in our restaurant. I thought that he was just kidding so I said “I want to be extra in the movie.” and he said, “okay.” The following week when we just opened the restaurant a big bus and 2 Mercedes Benz cars parked in front of the restaurant. I saw famous movie stars coming out from the cars. I was telling my co worker “Hey look! Sandra, Cynthia and Chri are coming to eat here”. I saw my boss talking to the director and some of the crews. Then my boss introduced me to the director. The director asked me “so are you ready to make a movie with us?” I was so stunned and said, “Yes I am ready! But are you serious?”
I still could not believe that I will make a movie until the make up artist put make up on me and fixed my hair. Wow! I look different with those heavy make up on my face. Then I rehearsed my dialogue with their director and crew. A short guy wearing a black shirt and jeans turned the big lights on and another guy holding his big rolling camera pointing at me and some of the actors. Then I heard the director shouted, “Action!” I came towards the door to greet a couple coming in the restaurant. I said, “Good afternoon sir, ma’m, where would you like to sit, in the lounge room or in the dining room?”. Then I followed them going in the dining room and gave them the big menu book. I served them two glasses of cold water and asked if they ready to order. I thought this was not bad at all; I could act just like normal without getting nervous.
In the movie the two female actors were about to fight because they have the same boyfriend and three of them happened to be in the same restaurant.
Then my most important part of the movie was when Sandra, one of the actors in the movie called me and asked “where’s my order? Why are you serving that woman (Cynthia another actor in the movie) first? I said “your your your order is coming… ma’m,” Then I heard the director shouted, Cut! I rehearsed my line again with them and someone shouted” Lights…camera… action! I said “your order is coming… ma’m,” she only ordered a piece of cake and a glass of juice that’s why I served her first. Then Alma Moreno was so angry and pours her glass of water on my blouse, and then I ran away from the scene. That was the end of my part in the movie.
I came home and told my family about it and they thought I was just kidding. I did not tell my friends and neighbors about it because I didn’t want them to think that I was bragging about it and they may not believe me. After five months the movie “ Torn Between Two Lovers” came out in the theaters. I was so excited that I watched it with my co-workers after work. I was walking about two mile on the way home and saw some people hanging out in front of the small store. I heard two people saying “ your order is coming… ma’m,” she only ordered a piece of cake and a glass of juice that’s why I served her first” then they started laughing. I ignored them and walked as fast as I could.
The following night on my way home people were teasing me again about my dialogue in the movie. I really thought no one will recognize me because of my heavy make up, but I was wrong. Where ever I go, people say my line and make fun of me. So I decided not to come home for a month and stayed with my friend.
This is my unforgettable experience doing first movie with my favorite actors. After this movie, I had two more movies with different actors at the same place. I was not nervous anymore and not embarrassed with making movies.
