There is no complete consensus that has been reached on this topic, yet I would like to take a stance and make my disagreement with the given thesis that watching a serious movies are better than watching entertaining movies. In order to substantiate my central focal points, I will provide specific reasons and explore the given topic in great detail in this essay.
To start with, I firmly believe that movie is classified as one of entertainments which serve people to use their spare time, and for their enjoyment. People used to spend their time with their friends, family, and etc. Opponents of my perspective claim that serious movies are more beneficial for people’s knowledges and lives. Proponents of this view several points as the rationales for their argument and their argument might have some validity. But after closer look, observation and analysis into their argument would prove inadequate. Much to their surprise, there exists an abundance examples that calling into question what they claim. Among such examples, my personal experience can elucidate their incorrect viewpoint. One day, my friend and I met after quite a long time. We were kind of boring with our daily routines and in an awkward silence, so we needed some sort of entertainment. At the right moment, there were some funny movies currently showing, so we watched one of them. It was really good for both of us, because we could laugh out loud enough while watching the movie, giving ourselves an opportunity to use our spare time very productively. This validates my earlier contention that people used to spend their spare time with whom they think are valuable people.
The account of mine that I illustrated above is not the only evidence to support my view. A recent survey conducted by one of the leading educational consulting firms in Korea endorsed my opinion when the survey respondents were asked whether they sided with the argument that people get a vigor from entertaining movie or not. A leading education expert claims that entertaining movies contribute to relieve the stress while people watching such movies. Moreover, entertaining movies are good for people who are desperate or not really in a good atmosphere. This is because people who are affected from such movies, would become more positive-thinking people.
In conclusion, in spite of the fact that there might be some opinions that watching serious movies are much better, however, from the reasons that I described above, we may reach to the conclusion that it is better to watch movies which are made for amusement and entertainment.
