TOEFL essay: movies - serious or amusing? [11]
I am waiting for your feedback...Thank you :)
topic :
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? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.Recently there is a hot and essential controversy concerning on the argument that which one do you prefer, the serious movies or the entertainment movies. A proportion of people cite the point that they prefer spend most their time on the serious movies rather than the entertainment movies. Since they assume that, according to the serious movies which obtain meaningful philosophy, we will understand the meaning of life .Also, it is an effective approach to conduct children by the serious movies .However others think the entertainment movies are better, for they can get lots of fun and it can release work pressure to watch the entertainment movies .Although, there are one or two advantages of the entertain movies, I convince we can get more benefits on the serious movies.
By watching the serious movies, first of all, we can learn the meaningful theory which we can not learn from school. For instance the movie, "Forrest Gump", the main actor says "life is like a box of chocolate, you never know what you are gonna get". That means life is full of miracles, so we should not be defeated by the troubles in front of us .Moreover, we should have a mind which is full of passion of life and the courage of discovery for our future. One month ago, my best friend Eric was dumped by his girlfriend. Never had i seen so sadly was he. To help him get out off the sadness, I accompanied him watching the movie "Forrest Gump". When we meted few days later, he was better and thanked me a lot .NOW, always he like to tell others how does he recovers by watching the movie.
Also, the serious movies can be used as education material .As we know, to the students, the first thing, when they come back home, is that open the television and search the channel which they interested in. So the serious movies which contain the science knowledge are effective material to conduct the child having the opposite attitude toward the social. According to recent survey, the child who watched the serious movies at their childhood are more logical and skillful than other child who did not .Just like the movie "Forrest Gump" which i told above, it can help every child when they face the trouble in their life.
Of course, there is no denying that the entertainment movies is the necessary part of our life. The entertainment projects on the television can release our work pressure. Watching the comedy instead of the work which never can be done and listening the classical music instead of the complex interpersonal relationship which we have to deal with. So, we will get lots of fun from the entertainment movies.
Although there are couples of advantages on entertainment movies, I convince the benefits of the serious movies overweight the entertainment movies'. Because we can not only get the essential philosophy but it can have opposite effects on children .these two aspect are the most crucial demonstration to convince me the serious movie is better than the entertainment movies.
