While most people watch movies for exciting plots, dynamic visuals and the celebrities starring in the movie, many are often oblivious of many other things that movies can deliver. I believe movies are enriched by diverse aspects and even have educational qualities in them. First of all, movies display the landscapes and architectures of a country. Behind each scenes in a movie, lies a carefully designed background setting. Whether it be the grandiose architectures of ancient Rome, the sky scrapers of New York, the breath-taking scenarios of Alps or the Louvre, Eiffel tower and the beautiful nights of Paris, movies deliver in detail the scenes behind the scenarios. Second, there are many characters in a movie with distinct characteristics. This could be the way they speak or dress, the way they carry themselves and the way they behave. This tells the viewers a lot about the country and their people. We can learn what languages are spoken in different countries, and see what kind of clothes they adorn. In brief, we can experience the way of life led by strangers and foreigners through movies. Lastly, movies depict many cultural aspects in them. Even though I have never visited Europe or South America, I would know what the infamous October beer fest in Germany and the colorful Carnival of Brazil are like. Of course, there are historical aspects that are unique to a geological location. Whether it be the World Wars, Nazism, Samurais, Egyptian civilization or the native Americans, viewers would have got a clearer picture of such historic eras. All in all, even though everything depicted in a movie may not be true and may have been exaggerated, I believe movies are one of the best ways to indirectly experience a country, especially through the architectures, the people and their cultures. |
