It is only worth watching movies that can teach us something about real life #1 (permalink) Fri Jan 07, 2011 2:17 am   It is only worth watching movies that can teach us something about real life
 

Good morning, Kitos. Thanks for taking time to correct it.
It is only worth watching movies that can teach us something about real life

Watching movies is an integral way of recreation in people's spare time. Views differ greatly when it comes to what kinds of movies are more valuable. Some people believe that it is only worth watching films that can teach us something about real life. Admittedly, films like A Beautiful Mind does help audiences understand the importance of being persistent on one's study. However, I think good movies, whether about real life or not, tell people something meaningful that deserve to be appreciated. As a result, it's an overstatement to say that only movies that convey thoughts about the reality is worth to watch.

First of all, consider animated films which make it easier for people to relieve stress and feel relaxed. I clearly remember the first time when I watched SpongBob SquarePants, the plot was so funny that I did nothing but laughed loud throughout the film. After watching the movie, my body got refilled and I had enough energy to overcome difficulties at work. An increasing number of people, under so much pressure at work, have been deeply depressed in recent years, Therefore, watch an amusing movie after work helps people immerse themselves in the world without any troubles and provides them an temporary escape from the burden of life.

Secondly, consider science fiction movies such as Avatar and Inception. Even though nothing depicted in the stories would happen in reality, people can still broaden their imagination and creativity by such movies. Take my favourite one Twilight for example. It shows what the world is like with vampires, a kind of creature I would never see in reality. I'm so obsessed with the story because it allows me to get out of the routine life and experience one full of excitement and adventures. What's more, since most of my friends are also crazy about the story, we have so many topics to discuss thus improve our friendship.

Thirdly, consider documentary films. It provide us with plenty of useful information and knowledge about science. When I was a child, I learned the origin of earth from a documentary film called "The Introduction of The Planet We live". Since then, I gradually developed an interest about science. Even though I didn't choose it as my major, being well-informed about this field enhances my reputation among peers and helps me gain more respect.

In conclusion, our lives will be more colorful and interesting if we appreciate different kinds of movies.
