1.Please, give me the book that I told you about.
2.Yesterday I watched a film. It was interesting.
I made correct choices, but I don`t understand, what`s the difference between these two. They feel the same to me.
Would you help me to feel the difference?

Having read your answer,I `m puzzled even more.
It seems now that I could`ve inserted any article,impying either the first or the second meaning.
