Some people believe that the only purpose of films is to entertain. Others say films should have educational value. Discuss both views and give your opinion

The purposes of watching films have been a topic of concern in modern society. While some people consider movies a source of entertainment with no other additional values, others believe in their educational benefits of them. This essay aims to examine both purposes that films should include before concluding that one cannot neglect the education tonal aspect of these productions.

Films, regardless of genre, are a means of entertainment for people. Seeing a movie means people can temporarily escape from their daily life, which may help them relieve their stress and be mentally healthier. There are, in addition to this, some specific genres of movies such as comedy, which can make people laugh and become elated. In brief, films are true of great entertainment benefit.

It would be, however, an exaggeration to state that the sole purpose of movies is to entertain because other aspects of them such as the educational one are not negligible. Viewers have been using films to learn foreign languages, in a sense that listening to people conversing in a film is a great way to hear native actors and actresses speaking their language. Some others have, furthermore, watched films to learn about the culture and ways of life of other places on Earth. An excellent example of this is the documentary "Love market in Sapa", from which people may learn about Sapa, a famous tourist attraction in the north of Vietnam. What can be inferred from this is that films also play a vital role in educating people in some aspects besides acting as a means of entertainment.

In conclusion, movies can truly entertain people and simultaneously provide them with great educational benefits, such as learning a new language or culture. I believe that an excessive number of people will consider films as essential learning materials in the future.
