Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Movies and TV programs made in one’s own country are more interesting than those made in other countries?
Nowadays has witnessed an unprecedentedly explosion of information in every corner of this globe, the rapid transporting of which ensures the residents all around the world keep in touch with the latest news. As a matter of fact, programs such as movies and TV series flow from country to country, ethnic and fascinating, and receive relatively high attention compared with these ones made domestically. Although some, holding the belief that domestic movies and TV programs are much more acceptable to the residents due to its closeness to domestic life, claim that much more interesting are these movies and programs made in one’s own country than those made in other countries, I firmly opposed that statement due to following reasons which are accounting.
First and foremost, we should never underestimate the curiosity of people to an unknown and mysterious country. As a matter of fact, so curious people are for foreign things that they tend to ignore what surrounds them for years. Mystery, or I would rather to put, the lust to uncover mystery, is what contributes to this phenomenon. The theory applies to TV and movies as well. For instance, we are so familiar with oriental faces that nearly not any Asian face seems to be outstanding to us any longer; as soon as Michael Scofield appears in the screen, it proves that we can never resist such a charming Occidental face. When coming to Lost, the preference seems much more obvious: while Asian women express more preference, Europe and America are much more likely to go crazy for Jin, the Korean guy.
Apart from this, nobody can deny that exotica usually seems more aesthetically attractive to people. We people are always seeking for something unfamiliar to ourselves, and from this process we find what we call “interesting”. Still Prison Break, the hot of Prison Break in China is quite unexpected, while casting a second thought will we find that it’s reasonable: we are so tired of the fussy and narcissistic dramas which are mostly set in palace, gossiping about emperors and queens, which seems so dull to us after so many years filling the screen, so that when Prison Break came out from nowhere, immediately people get crazy about it due to its exotic and appealing.
Hence, taking what concerns me into consideration, I firmly hold the idea that Movies and TV programs made in one’s own country are less interesting than those made in other countries. There’s no doubt that exotica seems more fascinating and appealing to us than domestic movies and TV series while we get unobvious tired about domestic ones. If the characters of domestic ones can never switch to a new point, sooner or later the exotica will occupy our heart forever. |
