Do you agreeor disagree with the following statement:
Movies and TVprograms made in one’s own country is always more interesting than those made in othercountries.
(Media)
With the increasing number of movies and TVprograms made in other countries boardcast in China, the debate in this field isheated. Some people believe that movies and TV programs in their own country isalways more interesting than those made in other countries, while othersdisagree on it, citing that movies and TV programs made in other countries canalso be interesting, and audience sometimes enjoy more from them. From my ownperspective, the latter one is more favorable.
The first reason I want to put forward isthat whether a movie or TV program is interesting or not depends on itsquality, not the country which makes it. Although the domestic movie or TVprogram has its minor advantages in attracting domestic audience, an excellentforeign one is also easy to become popular. For example, one American drama TVseries, Friends, has been popular in China for years. Chinese audience, especiallythe young, is fond of its humorous and warm way of showing friendships.Confused by some words from Friends based on the different cultural background,fans even made the list of explaining the confusing words for the whole tenseasons. Therefore, as we can see, in spite of different cultures, the foreignmovies and TV programs can also be interesting, and even more popular withdomestic audience.
Another reason I want to convey is that itis a direct way to experience different cultures from watching foreign moviesand TV programs, which makes them more interesting. The foreign movies and TVprograms describe the daily lives, recording the complicated emotions and variouskinds of thoughts of people from different countries. Through these movies andTV programs, the domestic audience broadens their horizons, exploring adifferent world and watching the different tradition. On the other hand, theymay also realize that no matter in which country, some problems of living arein common. Take myself as an example. I am so interested in another Americandrama series, Law and Oder, that I think it isthe best TV legal programs I've ever watched, both of my country and othercountries. Thanks to its excellent producers, I have learned lots of legalknowledge from this drama. What's more, I have a deeper understanding of thespirit of American legal system which is totally different from the one of mycountry. Thus, I believe that movies and TV programs made in other countriescan also be very interesting.
However, I have to admit that sometimesmovies and TV programs in Chinaare more interesting than those made in other countries. As the producers andaudience are brought up in the same cultural tradition and background, it iseasy for audience to understand the plots, having empathy with the characters.This phenomenon is apparent in the movies starring by Stephen Chow, the famous Hong Kong actor. His movies are one of the mostinteresting and popular movies in China. Nevertheless, limited oflanguages, it is hard for foreigners to grasp his humor, which leads to thefailure of his movies in America.In this sense, movies and TV programs is more interesting than those made inother countries.
Although domestic movies and TV programsown their advantages, those made in other countries can also be veryinteresting, even attracting more audience. With all the reasons explainedabove, this conclusion is easy to draw. |
