[He isn't sure really sure what he means by that but he supposes they can talk more when the movie is done.
As it turns out it is a play on a screen. Much like the video messages he's been doing. It's fascinating and his eyes remain glued to it the entire time. And not just for the technology! Though that is very impressive of course. No, this is largely about the story.
It's true that he doesn't really understand the sport but it seems that his companion is correct in the fact that he doesn't need to know about it. Which means he can just enjoy the story for what it is.
Really it's very moving too. Enough so that his eyes actually widen at the more moving places.
[ Kirk smiled, watching the expressions on Biffy’s face. It was one of
his favorites in the available selections and he was glad Biffy was
enjoying it. The credits rolled and Kirk stood up to stop the film, looking
to Biffy with an amused smile. ]
The technology is fascinating. I know so many would love to find out more about this technology since nothing this advanced exists where I come from.
[As for the story...]
But the story was quite moving. It was easy to feel sympathy for the protagonist as the struggles took place. Then there was a swelling of the heart when success happened. It was very moving.
I'm glad. And what makes it cooler is that according to the film, it's
based on a true story. It's dramatized perhaps a bit more than real life,
but still - I love these sorts of movies, or history pieces. I know there
are liberties taken for the sake of the script, but it really is something
to see a little bit of history come alive.
They definitely grew out of the theatre. The theatre still exists, but
movies are far more accessible to the masses than theatres - cheaper and
more easily distributed.
Each has its merits and I don’t mind a good musical now and then.
[ He looked to Biffy, hand on his hip. ]
You know, I never did ask - what year is it for you in your world?
Well enough. It seems I have a captain who is very understanding of my situation. I am already working with him to ensure that I am secured for when the full moon finally arrives.
I am working with his engineer for a security system to be implemented on the ship. Primarily it will be to keep an eye on me in the cargo area but it will be beneficial in other ways too.

You did good, Kirk. He's into this one.]

They're an art form, in my world.

I've always enjoyed the theater. I suppose that I will have to see about watching more of these movies since they have a similarity to that.

[Hence all of his fascination with everything. And confusion over modern phrases. It happens when you're from 1895.]
no subject
1896, huh? That would make Queen Victoria the monarch of England, right?
I’m from 2263, January.
no subject
[Once under...less than favorable circumstances.]
Really? 2263?
no subject
Oh? What’s she like?
[ History paints here in both golden and dubious lights, after all. ]
Yup. I was born in 2233, on one of the USS Kelvin’s medical shuttles, but I grew up in Riverside, Iowa.
no subject
[Iowa...]
That is...America, correct?
no subject
Sounds about right for a ruler, I suppose.
Got it in one. Though I don’t think Iowa exists just quite yet in your time. We don’t get all fifty stars until the early 1900s if I recall correctly.

Oh? Heh, I never was very good with the years states became states. Fifty is a bit much to memorize, even for me.

[ That gets a laugh out of him, bright and hearty. ]
Well, you would be right about that. State history was never one of my favorite subjects in school.

Oh, Shiro. He's a good guy - a good captain. That's a nice ship to land on. You can definitely trust him.
