57 some movies are serious, designed to make the audience think. Other movies are designed primarily to amuse and entertain. Which type of movie do you prefer?

People spend much of their spare time on movies, but different people have different tastes. Some prefer movies that can amuse them, while others prefer serious ones. Although it is hard to say which choice is better, in my opinion, however, I would rather choose serious movies due to the following reasons.

For one thing, serious movies let us think the nature of human beings. Love, friendship, humanity, greed or even evil are all themes of serious movies. It was these movies that make us understand how brave some people could be in urgent times and where the strength comes from. It was also these movies that let us know greed exists beneath our minds and how to prevent it from eroding our conscience. Hence, watching serious movies help us set up our values.

For another, serious movies often present us many social problems worth noticing and discussing. Why a child growing up in a split family may not easily fit into the society? Why drugs are abused among youth, even teenagers? Why some economic disparities appear among people during China’s reform and openness these years and how this disparity affect people’s life, etc. Serious movies sometimes make us stop for a while and think over social problems around us.

In addition, serious movies also teach us a lot of valuable lessons. Through the different fates of characters in the film, we are attracted to think why someone fails and what could be learned from his failure. In case in reality, we encounter same circumstances, we could avoid making the same mistakes as did the character in the movie.

Admittedly, comedies and other kinds of entertainment movies really amuse us and bring happiness to our lives, however they often leave nothing when we recall these movies and nothing could be learned from them except for some jokes.

In conclusion, according to the reasons mentioned above, I prefer serious movies because they let us think the nature of human beings, present us many social problems worth noticing and discussing and finally, teach us a lot of valuable lessons.

写着玩的，不当真。

A large assortment of movies is produced every year around the world, whose themes vary from romantic love to cruel death, from light-hearted comedies in France to somber tragedies in Japan. Whereas some movies are produced to entertain people, many others are designed to induce serious thinking. As far as I am concerned, I prefer serious movies that discuss some eternal subjects such as love and death, fidelity and betrayal, and that meanwhile make audience contemplate the living conditions of us as well as others.

First of all, film in essence is art like literature, music, architecture, which plays an irreplaceable role in our lives. We go to cinema just as we visit art galleries to appreciate marvelous works excelled at aesthetics and ethics. Serious movies concerning themes like joy and sadness, passion and suffering would slow down our pace of so called progress and arouse some basic human feelings that have faded away due to high pressure and messiness in daily life. If you have watched the Greek film “Landscape in The Mist “, you would never forget the two siblings who took on an strange train to find their unknown father in Berlin. In the dark cinema, you might again recognize human being have been exiled by Him for so many years. What we are looking for desperately year after year, day after day, is neither money nor power, but a father who cares our grief and joys.

Besides, serious movies reflect the real living conditions of many people that are often neglected by the majority. The key words of our time are science, democracy, technology and so forth. At first glance, it seems that all people are living in a bourgeois scientifically-based society and every human problem would one day find a solution. Actually the fact is not so optimistic. For example, an Iranian film shows us an innocent child from a poor family whose ambition is to own a pair of shoes. A fair proportion of serious films illustrate the life of minorities who are deprived of rights to enjoy the advantages of the modern society. These agents range from acrobats in Fellini’s “ersonName w:st="on" ProductID="La Strata">La StrataersonName>” to beekeepers in Angeloplous’ “Beekeeper”.

There is no denying that movies also function as a vital way to entertain people. A large amount of money is spent on these movies from Hollywood or India. However, since film emerged in 1895 in France, it has been a critical part of art that would express people’s thoughts and enhance audience’s taste. Besides, movies are distinctive art works completed by the cooperation of directors, screenwriters, actresses and actors, as well as producers, all of whose wisdom is to induce thinking more than entertaining people.
