Many people usually see a movie for their spare time. And many movies are also came from many different countries. Some people think a movie show many things about a country. Others question whether a movie inform us about a country and may be think that it's just fiction. I my opinion, a movie reflects a country's important values and social structures.
First of all, a movie reflects a important values of a country as if a word and writting reflect a thought of the speaker and writer. There is a word, "The thing be filled with a person is a identity of the person."
Especially most of movie makers would like to communicate and sympathize with a viewer. In order to do this, a producers try to find the values to think and feel together with an audience and express by their movies.
What's more, A movie show a country's social structure such as class, gender and race relation to be background of a movie. I strongly believe It's even natural that a movie embrace a social aspects to be background of the country. For example, Israel vs Jermany movie, Islam vs Western movie and Indian movie. Israel, Jewish race, movie reflects their history related with Jerman race descrimination handed down for a long time. Islam movie show a woman be covered with chador. In the movie a woman is restricted from education, political right and social relation, in contrast, western movie reveal relatively free woman, sometimes successful woman in their societies. And India, the complicated and exotic country's movie inform us that the country still have a social class, a Caste. By viewing that, I could remember thoroughly a shock and suprise that I felt when I visited India about 10 years ago and listened a story about their society from a woman lived in a countryside.
For these reasons, a movie show many things about a country. People can learn a important things about differnet countries from a movie. |
