For example: That film should be banned. Well, that's your opinion. Perhaps. Perhaps not. Mmmm. Ah. That film.
Disagreeing mildly

To make their disagreement seem less forceful, English people will use words like Well, Actually or Yes, but at the start of their sentence. They might also apologise for disagreeing For example: That film should be banned. I'm sorry, but I don't think so. Yes, but you want almost every film banned. Well, actually, it's not that bad as a matter of fact.
