Discuss both views and give your opinion.It is often argued that films ought to be for entertainment, while a certain parts of society believe that movies are not only for amusement but also should have educational benefits. Similarly, I support the latter view, enjoying film as well as learning from movie diverse situations that can everyone face in real life.
On the one hand, exploring some beneficial information from movies is suitable for people with poor cognitive skills like visual perception, memory or who hate studying from books. Firstly, historical dramas, documentaries about illustrious individuals and environment, can influence especially young audiences. In fact, watching historical movies allow people to explore vital historical moments of their ancestors or familiarize with the World history which have impact to society. Secondly, watching environmental documentaries would inform to people about issues increasing annually, whereby these kind of films would influence individuals to appreciate things that we have now in order to not to regret in the future.
On the other hand, some moviegoers consider that primary purpose of movies is entertainment. First of all, there are diverse genres of films such as comedy, sci-fi, action movie, horror or even animated films which can evoke emotions and provide amusement. Moreover, workaholics or students who exhausted from their works or studies want to unwind watching heartbreaking or inspirational movies to get distracted from their lives. For instance, most of pupils after their lessons go to the cinema to enjoy blockbuster films.
In conclusion, whilst some people claim that movies ought to be only for enjoyment, I believe that films have a large impact on people, that is why they should also educate people about different aspects of life.
