Need help here?

Why do I get this error message "Didn't get an exit from start_movie" ?

firedoor.py 
import sys
question = input("do you want to start the movie y/n").lower
if  question == "n":
    sys.exit()
else :
    print("Enjoy the show!")

Hi Yannis! Nearly got it - you just need to check answer for both Capital N and lower case n:

import sys

answer = input("Want to start a movie?")

if (answer == "N") or (answer == "n"):
    sys.exit()
else:
    print("Enjoy the show!")

but doesn't it return to lowercase?. question = input("do you want to start the movie y/n").lower
