sequel とは、ある映画のストーリーの続きの映画、つまり続編のことです。タイトルが同じことがよくありますが、その場合、2、II、Part 3 などが付きます。
- I liked the original “Planet of the Apes” better than the remake.
- “The Magnificent Seven”, starring Yule Brynner and Steve McQueen, is an American remake of the Kurosawa classic “Seven Samurai”.
- Hollywood seems to have run out of new ideas. All you see these days are remakes and sequels.
- Do you think they'll ever make a sequel to “Mononoke Hime”?
- “The Godfather Part II” is one of the few sequels that is even better than the original.
- What a great movie! I can't wait for the sequel!
Well, that's all for this week. Enjoy the weekend, and we'll see you at the movies!
