Which of the following sentence is or are correct?
1) The film touched me.
2) The film moved me.
3) I was touched by the film.
4) I was moved by the film.
If all four are possible, do they mean the same thing?
If so, which would you use?
Also, are there other (better) ways to express this concept?
Thank you.
@paok1970,
All 4 are acceptable.
1 & 3 are the same meaning, 2 & 4 have the same meaning. All 4 are closely related in meaning. There's a difference between 'moved' and 'touched'.
@Sturgis,
In your own words, how would you express this concept?
You can be moved to an emotion or realisation, (or just "moved"), as well as an action.
@paok1970,
I'd say, "The film was evocative", and then explain how.
I would definitely not say, "During the film I was touched and moved".
Stumble It!
