It is better to watch serious movies that are designed to make you think than to watch movies that are primarily designed to amuse or entertain.
It is often said that watching serious movies is better than watching comedy movies. Many people oppose to this because people can learn from watching serious movies. However, in my opinion, watching comedy movies is more beneficial because people can be healthier due to the effect of laughing as well as relieve stress.
First of all, watching comedy movies make people laugh. This laughing, according to experts, is known to induce endorphin hormone from our body which makes our body stronger and healthier. That is why laughing campaign is popular in Korea. For example company applied the campaign to improve their employees’ health by having them laugh for 5 minutes every morning. Amazingly it improved not only their health but also the atmosphere of the office. Likewise, the effect of laughing proved to be salubrious. Thus, watching comedy movie is much better than watching serious movie which could cause only tense and stress to viewers.
Also, comedy movies positively affect for relieving stress. In modern society, people live at intensely fast pace and go through pressing competition every day. As a result, people tend to be stressed out. To these exhausted people, pastime should be relaxing and help them forget about their heavy work. For example, after I finished an enormous job, I got 2 days off from work. Although I wanted to have restful time to relax, my girl friend wanted to see some thriller movie. After watching it for two hours, I was totally exhausted because it kept me thinking about who is the real criminal. Although I satisfied her, but the movie made me tired to bone. From this experience, I found watching serious movies not helpful to relax, rather harmful.
In brief, watching comedy movies is better than watching serious ones because laughing can make people healthier and also people who are already tired and stressed out prefer pastime to relax rather than serious movies to make them think. All in all, movies should provide fun rather than seriousness.
