Serious movies vs entertaining movies It is a controversial issue that what the main purpose of the movie is Some people suggest that movies should be amusing and entertaining, while other maintain the opposite view, regarding the solemn movies are the best As far as I am concerned, the former carries more weight I take this view on account of the following reasons First of all, after a hard working day, people need to take a break and have a good change of pace Amusing movies definitely meet such kind of requirement of people Sitting in a theater and watching a amusing movie, people can temporarily forget all the troubles they got recently and enjoy the point of live, all of which will extremely promote people`s attitudes toward live and work Second to take into account is that entertaining movies let people have the opportunities to participate in the situations that they never meet before For example, a movie about racing car will give the chance to car fans to enjoy the hurtling speed and get in touch with the secrets that they cannot see from TV and newspapers Last but not least, both amusing and entertaining movies make people relaxed, and such relaxation is very crucial to the people`s health However, just as English proverb goes,?a coin has two sides? those who maintain the opposite view are partly reasonable that solemn movies may be the best choice of teaching history and theories Even the factor I outlines, we can easily conclude that, generally speaking, the primary purpose of the movie is entertainment
