Question

Read thoroughly to answer the following question.
    Had the great pleasure of introducing my 14-year-old son to one of my favorite movies tonight. I saw SCREAM five times
when it was released theatrically in 1996. I was a freshman in college and working part-time at my hometown movie theater,
Cineplex Odeon in Bowie, Maryland, and I remember loving it so much that I would sometimes spend my 15-minute breaks in
the back of the theater just to admire the filmmaking.
   The movie absolutely knocked the wind out of me in '96, and I'm pleased to report that it still works beautifully for me
today.
    SCREAM is a riff on the high-school slasher film, where a group of friends are picked off one-by-one by a masked killer. The
difference is that both the killer and the intended victims are aware of (and in some cases well-versed in) the very movies that
created this genre, and try to use those tropes as a means of attack, or a way to survive. This kind of meta-genre deconstruction
was pretty revolutionary in 1996, but SCREAM succeeds at being an exceptional slasher film even as it takes the genre apart,
and that is truly miraculous to behold.
    Kevin Williamson's script is crackling with wit, humor, and deep respect and love for the genre. Craven's direction is fluid,
confident, and full of brilliant misdirection – it feels like watching close-up magic, and his slight of hand is balanced with some
truly inspired set pieces and beautiful cinematography. The cast is wonderful, and I found myself smiling about just how
affectionately I remember these characters. When the movie started, I didn't think “oh there's Neve Campbell, and there's Matt
Lillard” – I was thinking “There's Sid, there's Stu.”
    It's easy to forgot how revolutionary and astonishing the iconic opening sequence was, and I marvel now at the extended
party set-piece, which takes up almost the entirety of the second half of the film. Just wonderful stuff.
     SCREAM is a gleeful, brilliant deconstruction of the genre itself, breaking it apart with profound respect and love, and
celebrating the very tropes it is exposing. There's a reason it had such impact on release, and that the franchise is still finding
some fuel in the tank nearly three decades later. It's also a time capsule of the late 90's, and reminds me so much of my youth
– I grinned when the sheriff asks Billy Loomis “Why do you have a cellular telephone, son?” This was, at the time, not an
unreasonable question. It's a different world, but horror still works just as well.
     If I would have told my 18 year-old self that someday I'd work with (and become great friends with) Matthew Lillard, enjoy
meals and social deduction games with Kevin Williamson, and have a relaxed, casual dinner with Neve Campbell... I frankly
would never have believed it. I've now gotten to personally thank those artists for the impact this film had on me, and that in
and of itself only further blurs the lines between movies and reality – a sensation I faintly felt watching NEW NIGHTMARE in
1994, and felt completely with SCREAM. What a wild world this is.
    This movie was formative for me, and changed the way I looked at what was possible in the genre. I loved it when I was
18, and I loved it tonight. And, my son also loved it... so a great evening all around.

Alternativa [D] IV. A alternativa correta é D - IV. Vamos entender o porquê, analisando cada uma das afirmações e as razões para a escolha correta.

I. Praising technical features of the movie indicates the author’s appreciation for it.
O texto elogia claramente aspectos técnicos do filme "Scream", como o roteiro, a direção e a cinematografia. O autor expressa admiração por essas características, o que indica sua apreciação pelo filme. Portanto, esta afirmação é verdadeira.

II. “Scream” deeply influenced the author’s professional and personal growth.
O texto menciona que o filme "Scream" foi formativo para o autor, mudando sua percepção sobre o que era possível no gênero de filmes de terror. Além disso, ele relata a influência que o filme teve em sua carreira, já que ele desenvolveu relações pessoais e profissionais com membros do elenco e equipe. Assim, esta afirmação é verdadeira.

III. The author is in disbelief on his current relationship with some cast and crew members of the film.
O autor expressa surpresa e descrença na maneira como sua vida profissional se desenvolveu, permitindo-lhe formar amizades com membros do elenco e equipe do filme "Scream". Ele menciona que seu eu de 18 anos não acreditaria nas relações que ele formou. Logo, esta afirmação é verdadeira.

IV. The author finds connection only with his youth in regard to the movie script.
Esta afirmação sugere que o autor apenas se conecta com o filme através de suas memórias da juventude. No entanto, o texto deixa claro que a conexão do autor com o filme vai além disso, pois ele ainda aprecia a qualidade técnica e narrativa da obra e compartilha isso com seu filho. Portanto, esta afirmação é falsa, sendo a exceção correta na pergunta.

Concluindo, a afirmação IV é a única incorreta, tornando a alternativa D a resposta correta.
