Hi,
I have made some changes in CAPITAL LETTERS:
From watching A movie we can get more information about the country where it came from. The movie can tell us many thingS about the ITS COUNTRY; such as their cultures, their history, their nation’s life styles, traditions, even also what are their main food stuffS and what are their national clothes and so forth. Also we can get more knowledge oF history or THE life style of THE PAST about our country from the movie.
Films MADE ABOUT each decade portray the life style of the people in that decade IN THE country. People can watch the life style of people from the film that came from a specific time of history. For example, we can watch from the movie, made in during 1980 what was young people’s fashion styles during the 1970s and 1980s. We didn’t know precisely how people were living before the revolution. The movie about the epoch before THE revolution, can tell us how our grandparents LIVED. Also the films from ANother country tell us many thingS about the country’s history where it came from. From the one of series of movie of Korea, I LEARNT that Japan was harassed BY Korea during some period of time.
On the other hand, the movies tell us much more than expected about the country’s culture, people. From one of THE series of films ABOUT Korea, I watched last year, I found out what Korea’s national costumes WERE and how people LIVED in Korea during the 18th century. From the Korean and Japanese movies I got a lot of infoRMATION about their cultures in PAST centuries.
In conclusion, we can achieve some current social context, or specific historical tradition, or culture in films. Movies help people to save the events OF PAST TIMES in films, and after so many years others maybe their descendants can watch that epoch from films.
