▶ Your Answer : Some
people believe that movies are adaptations of the reality that it cannot convey
the real aspects of the reality. However, I believe that movies can tell a lot
about a country in which their stories take place, as it can delineate
the people of a country and depict the natural environment of a country.
Firstly, I believe that movies can tell a
lot about a country through delineating the people of a country. One
anthropologist said that the most important thing is to understand the people when
one is trying to understand a culture. With this understanding, I believe that
movies can tell a lot about a country because they portray the people of
a country in a realistic manner. For example, the movie <I’m from North
Korea> deals with the daily lives of people in North Korea. The characters
demonstrate the fashion that is popular nowadays and use the region’s dialects.
Under the circumstances where the contacts with North Koreans are limited, the
movie can provide a general picture of their daily lives and culture.
Secondly, I believe that movies can tell a
lot about a country through depicting the natural environment of a country.
There is a famous saying, ‘One picture is worth a thousand words’. The
natural environment of a country, such as the climate, the terrain, is hard to
grasp unless one actually sees it. Movies can help people understand the
environment of a country through visual aids. As movies are based on image,
it can help people experience the environment of a country in a more vivid way than
a book or other materials can do.
I believe that movies can tell a lot about
a country, as it can delineate the people of a country and depict the environment
of a country. The significance of my view cannot be underestimated for the
reasons I have provided above. |
