Many people argue that movies mainly exist for entertainment. Watching films help people relax after a hard day, and it is one of the easiest way to escape from stress. Also, the film industry is a big business, so producers often focus on making movies that bring them profit. They sometimes don’t care much about messages or lesson, as long as the movie attract a lot of viewers.
However, others believe that films should contain educational value. Movies can teach people about history, culture or social problems that they don’t learn much in school. For example, many documentaries shows real issues and make audience understand the world better. Some films even inspire young people to change their behave in positive ways.
In my opinion, movies should not only entertain but also try to give some useful lessons. A film that is fun but also meaningful usually leave a stronger impact on people.
In conclusion, while entertainment is important, I believe films also need to provide educational value whenever it is possible.
