10.10 独立 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: Movies are worth watching only when they teach us something about the real life. With the improvement of people's living standard, entertainment becomes an essential part of modern people's daily lives. Among various leisure activities, watching movies is very popular. Nowadays, some people claim that movies are worth watching only when they teach us something about the real life. After taking various considerations into account, however, I stand on the opposite.
In the first place, movie, as a public media, should reflect the different aspects of the diversified world to spread different opinions, various life styles, and all kinds of social phenomena. Not all of the movies should teach us something about the real life, since some educational films have already been given this task. With the directors' creativity, imagination, and thought, more movies are responsible for making diversity and fantasy which interested people to watch them. For example, the load of the ring: the return of the king, a film fulled of imagination, has amazingly won eleven Oscar awards, including the best film award and the best director award. The reason why the movie was successful is not that it educates people something about the real life, but is that it has creative idea, wonderful scenes, and attractive stroy line. In other words, almost every people like the movie, so it succussed.
Moreover, all kinds of movies worth watching, not only the one that can teach us something about the real life because the original intention of watching movies is to relax or to fell happy. And most of the modern directors are producing films which conform this needs of the audience in order to obtain a larger profit. Taking my old sister as an example, she loves enjoying romantic love movies with her husband in the theater. She has already owned a good love and a happy family, so the ups and downs of the story mode in the film can not teach her anything about her real life. She wants to watch such a kind of film just because she enjoys recalling her love time. Thus, can we say that the romantic love movies are not worth watching for her?
Finally, I have to concede that the educational movies are indeed valuable. They might give us some encourage when we are struggling to our dream; they might offer good suggestions if we are facing difficult choices; even they might change a decadent person to a ambition one when he or she has just experienced a huge failure. However, since movies are a kind of entertainment tool, they cannot just be restricted to reflect our real life. The audience needs a diversified film industry to satisfy their appetite.
In conclusion, I believe many kinds of movies are worth producing and watching due to audience various needs. Also, the statement that movies areworth watching only when they teach us something about the real lifeis oversimplified and wrong.
