The issue of movies has become a matter of considerable debate in recent years. Some believe that movies are lessons to think and act accordingly, other argue that the basic purpose of movies is entertainment. This essay will discuss both perspectives and present my own view that movies may have multiple purposes, people watch them according to their mood, and I prefer to watch a movie with a lesson to learn.
To begin with, a lot of movies fall in the genre of serious topics as follows, politics, economy, education, and exploring the world. This is primarily because such type of movies deliver a positive lesson toward people of a society. For example, a famous movie by Amir Khan “three idiots” gives a message that education system should base on the real concepts, rather than memorizing traditional books. As a result, the majority of university students follows this pattern in their real life. Therefore, serious movies make a great impact on people’s life style.
On the other hand, the factor of entertainment is very important in social setup, people want amusement which is a positive gesture. The key reason is comedy provides feeling of happiness and mind relaxation. For instance, an Indian movie “Munna Bhai MBBS” presents a story of fake doctor in a funny style which provide a great sence of humor; so people enjoy it. Consequently, these types of movies creat a feeling of joy among different age groups.
In conclusion, Although serious movies depict many true problems and solutions in a society, entertainment is also neccessory for a healthy life. Watching both types of movies will teach some life lessons as well as provide entertainment also.
