Doesn't or didn't.
Hi! I have some questions.
1.I watched it on movie
A : you stole my moment!
B : yeah, 10 years ago
A : okay, no , but it doesn't matter to you because you had your own moment.
This is part of script, and my question is why B using "it doesn't matter" not ' it didn't matter " (I think it already happened )
Both are possible? Doesn't and didn't? ?
2. I want to explain something to someone and which one is better??
A : this movie is so sad and I saw it.......
B: this movie was so sad and I saw it......
Thank you so much.

1. "It didn't matter to you" is talking about how the other person felt in the past.
"It doesn't matter to you" is talking about how the other person feels now. People can still have feelings now about things that happened in the past.
2. Use a capital letter at the start of a sentence. Put a comma after "sad". Probably you can use either tense, but it may be better to make two s
