TRANSCRIPT (Only for reference, it will not be given in actual PTE Academic Test)

The theatrical realism of many older, ostensibly classic movies have dated terribly and reflect the very exclusions and compromises of the system that produced them. Only the ingenious exertions and inventions of a slender minority of great filmmakers could circumvent and override them.
