▶ Your Answer :
| Some people think that people should watch movies made in
their own country. However, I believe that it is more important for people to
watch movies made in various countries. This is because people can broaden
perspective through the movies, and watching the foreign movies helps people to
learn foreign languages.
To begin with, it is important than ever before to appreciate
different cultural values because we live in the global society. To respond to
globalization, a person’s ability of understanding different cultures is
necessary to one person’s success. With this understanding, watching movies
filmed in other countries is one of the good ways for people to be absorbed the
different cultures. This is attributed to the fact that there are many movies
from foreign countries which are so fun that make people be interested in the
movie’s culture. For example, when I was a high school student, I watched the
movie, “Harry Potter” filmed in the UK. I was impressed with the movie and
naturally grew my interests in UK’s cultural. Moreover, after that, I openly
accepted other countries’ social norms through diverse movies. And this helped
me broaden my perspective because I could see diverse aspects on the movies.
On the top of that, watching foreign movie helps people learn
foreign languages easily. In the modern society, many companies want to work
with people who have a second language. Then, many Korean university students
put their efforts to learn a foreign language. Interestingly, a renowned
professor in Seoul National University published an article that claimed that a
person who often watches movies made from a foreign country tend to learn the
country’s language faster than a person who is not the case. In the article,
people who often enjoy foreign movies are likely to feel happy when they study
the language, but others considered that learning another language is boring.
This evocates the view that people should watch movies from other cultures.
To sum up, I firmly believe that people should watch other
countries’ movies. Consequently, the importance of my view cannot be
underestimated by the reason that I have mentioned above. | | | | | |
