▶ Your Answer : Some people think that the movie is just
enjoyment and does not tell a lot about a country. This can be true if they
limit their think that movie is only a fiction. However, in my opinion, the
information about a country can be told to us. I feel this way for two reasons,
which I will explore in the following essay.
To begin with, movies involve the culture
of the country. Culture is significant because it tells us the living behaviors
of its country. People who watch movies from other countries can indirectly
experience the culture of them and can understand it. For example, in my
experience, I was able to know American culture by watching “To all the boys I
loved”. In that movie, it contains situations in the U.S. high school. From
watching it, I notice a lot of information like “ski camp” is important to
American students, how they eat at the cafeteria, how they use their locker and
what club activities are in there. There were so many things that I could not
even demonstrate all of them. Furthermore, it contains contents in the house,
too. I was able to know their living things. From all of that, I could
understand U.S. culture.
On top of that, movies show us what
countries think as an important value. As you know, each country value
different things. One country may regard honest is the most important thing,
and the other country may regard friendship is the most important thing that
they can throw away the honest. For instance, in America movies, I think they
value family and justice. On the contrary, in Korea movies, they value love as we
can see in “영화 예시”.
To sum up, the movie contains the culture
and important value in the country. In this regard, I strongly believe that the
movie shows us about the country. |
