The difference between 真 vs. 非常 --- Present vs. Past
Hi,

I understand that both 真 and 非常 mean "very" but I wanted to get a confirmation that I understand them correctly.

If I go see a movie with a group of friends and one of them asks me **AFTER** the movie,
"今天的电影怎么样？"

*Question: Is it true that I **cannot** say 真有意思 because the movie is already over? I was taught that, in this case, because we've already finished watching the movie, I **have** to say 非常有意思 or 特别有意思. I can only say 真有意思 in the middle of the movie, when it's still playing.

Is this true?

Thank you.

Answer

absolutely not true. interchangeable 99.9% of the case

Answer

there wasn't  any obvious difference between them .  In many circumstance they can be replaced.

Answer

I don't agree with that. You can say both of them "真有意思"and "非常有意思",even after the movie.
For example :
“这节课非常有意思”，“这节课真有意思”，they have the same meaning。

but “真”表示主观判断（subjective judgment），like：
“我们明天放假了。”   “真好，好羡慕你们！”，you can't say "非常好，好羡慕你们！”
