Usually when I start watching a movie and I see that it falls short of expectation, I stop watching and usually takes up to 40 minutes to understand that it’s not what I would like to watch. But the last case that I remember when I clearly decided to not watch something was maybe few years ago that time I wanted to see a fantasy movie but I’ve already watched all the popular ones and I wanted to so I wanted something fresh and I saw one movie about a dragon’s dragons it was maybe a herd of dragon or maybe a soul dragon i think carrot of dragon and so i started watching it and there was a scene of fight and so the blood there was was very strange color was of a very strange color it was not a real blood color it was too bright it was like mixed with with white color so it was maybe like a paint mixed with red color something like that. So I stop watching it because I don’t get joy from movies or series when I understand clearly that it’s just filmed. it’s just a film, it’s a work of people and if it’s not real, I can’t immerse myself in this narrative and I can’t enjoy it. And of course I was disappointed because I wanted to see a film but I didn’t find even another one after that, having the same topic that I would like to watch about. Thank you.

Usually when I start watching a movie and I see that it falls short of expectations, I stop watching. It usually takes up to 40 minutes to understand that it's not what I would like to watch. But the last case that I remember when I clearly decided to stop watching something was maybe a few years ago. At that time, I wanted to see a fantasy movie, but I had already watched all the popular ones, so I wanted something fresh. I came across a movie about dragons; it was maybe a herd of dragons or maybe a soul dragon. I think it was called 'Carrot of Dragon.' So I started watching it, and there was a fight scene. The blood in that scene was of a very strange color; it was not a realistic blood color. It was too bright, almost like it was mixed with white, so it looked like paint mixed with red. I stopped watching it because I don't enjoy movies or series when I clearly understand that it's just filmed. It's just a film, a work of people, and if it's not real, I can't immerse myself in the narrative, and I can't enjoy it. Of course, I was disappointed because I wanted to see a film, but I didn't find another one after that with the same topic that I would like to watch about. Thank you.
