Need help with this challenge

I have written the code for this challenge and it right but it says that the start_movie didn't get the right response.

firedoor.py 
import sys

def film():
    start_movie = input("Would you like to start a movie? Y/n ")
    if start_movie != 'n':
        print("Enjoy the show!")
    else:
        sys.exit()

    if start_movie.lower() != 'n':
        print("Enjoy the show!")
    else:
        sys.exit()

Hi there Andrey Misikhin

I do love that you are taking the time to help answer questions from other students. Though if you are going to give the passing answer, please try and summarize/comment the reason something didnt work.

If a student just copy/pastes in the passing answer, I mean its cool if all they missed was some parenthesis. But for the learning process to happen or if you really want to be a really effective "mentor" to these students you are helping. It is better to not give them the answer, but instead hint them in the right direction. If they can find the answer with a few hints and solve it themselves, they will learn far more than copy/pasting code!

Awesome that you are taking the time to help answer questions! I learned a lot helping students solve bugs in code.
