Some people might believe that watching movies that give a lesson is better than entertainment movies. However, I believe that movies that are entertaining are more beneficial than movies that teach something about life. There are two reasons. People can relieve stress by watching entertainment movies and life lessons can be taught by parents or teachers.
To begin with, watching entertainment films are advantageous because people can lessen their stress. These days, people are under a lot of stress because of competition. Stress can cause mental and physical diseases. Lots of people know this fact, so they try to reduce their stress in many different ways. Watching movies is definitely one of them. Regarding that many people watch movie for stress relief, movies should be fun and handle light concepts. Thus, entertainment movies are perfect. They are fun, and easy enough to understand. However, movies that teach life lesson is hard to understand and their theme is too heavy to relieve stress. Also, people are exhausted about their life, so they want to escape from their daily life by watching movies. However, if movies teach something about life, people will get more stress. For example, I worked at Samsung. I have a lots of work to do, so I am really busy and always tired. Also, my boss and I are in a bad relationship, so I get stress a lot. Therefore, I like to watch movie when I have free time. Last weekend, I watched “Hang Over” which is a comedy. While watching the movie, I laughed a lot, so it made me happy. I could forget about my work and boss. Thus, I believe that watching entertainment movies have more advantages.
On top of that, people can learn lessons about life by their parents or teachers. Parents know their children well, and they have more experiences, so they can be a good source of advices. However, movies, which do not know about people at all, cannot give appropriate lessons than parents. Also, people can find their teachers when they need some help in their life. Teachers have a number of experiences about giving lessons because it is their job. Thus, they can give a decent lesson than movies. For instance, I was going through tough time because of college. I got rejected to my dream college, and I considered to take a gap year to take a SAT again and reapply to the college. Thus, I asked my teacher what should I do. Then, my teacher said that I should not take a gap year. He said that I could go to college that I accepted, and just transferred to the college I want in order to save time. It was a great advice for me. As a result, I can transfer to the college I want, and I can save my time too. Movies will not give this kind of lesson for me. Thus, I think that watching movies that give life lessons will not beneficial because there are other sources of lesson, such as parents and teachers.
To sum up, I believe that people should watch movies that are entertaining in order to mitigate stress they get in daily life. Also, there are excellent teachers and parents who can give more useful lessons, making movies, which offers life lessons, useless.
