▶ Your Answer :
Some people think that movies are not much related to the country. However, in my opinion, movies contain so much information about the country. This is because people can indirectly experience the country which was used as a background of the movie, and film directors reflect their mother countries in their works. To begin with, people can acquire knowledge about the country by watching films. Although the viewers do not go to the places in the movie, they can sufficiently experience the background city. For example, when I was 10 years old, I watched the movie ‘Harry Potter’. I really enjoyed the film, and I especially remembered the beautiful places located in London. Since I was very young at the time, it was just a dream for me to travel to Europe. However, I did not have to go there because the movie well represented the various features of London. On top of that, since movie directors have their own countries, they cannot help inserting their ideas about their countries into the movies. This is because different country people have different perspectives. Main cause of this is they grew up in different environments. For instance, recently, I watched a film ’12 years a slave’. It was the story of an innocent man who suffered for 12 years as a slave in southern America. It well described the cruelty of white American as a hirer of slaves. This was because the director of the film was African-American. The director may have wanted to emphasize the ruthlessness of white people because his ancestors were suffered from them. To sum up, people can experience the country if they watch films, and movie directors put their own thinking to their works. For these reasons, I believe that movies are well connected to the country.
