Some movies are serious, designed to make the audience think. Other movies are designed primarily to amuse and entertain. Which type of movie do you prefer? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer

There are many entertainments nowadays. Though movies were common since last century 1950s they are also popular activities in our daily life. Someone like serious type movies that arose people to think about many problems exist in their life, around community or even in our world. On the other hand, many people like to watch amusing and funny movies because after hard working many of them prefer to find something to entertain. As far as I concerned, I like both of these types of movies. Because during different time or different situation I prefer different type movies.

In many situations, I like to watch entertaining movie. Because I am a graduate student whose major is environmental science. After handling a bunch of data and knowing that there are many challenging serious problems of our world I really prefer to see some light topics entertainment movies or TV shows. I don't want to make my heart always feeling heavy. Or during the weekend some of our close friends hang out, we always pick up some comedies to watch. Because in that situation we just want to have some fun.

However, it doesn't mean that some serious movies are not important for me. I am a scientific student, surely I know there are many documentary movies that illustrate some serious problems in our world, such as, warfare, massarce, murder and environmental problems etc. These movies make us think deeply and when we do that we will self-consciously want to solve these problems and to save our world. For example, recently many photographers used two years to investigate the Arctic ice thawing and they hold a very precious record about this procedure which makes a movie named Extreme Ice. I only see short video online but I believe this movie definitely set people thinking deeply, which is better than a bunch of boring data and long words to describe the environmental problems.

In a word, both of serious movies and amusing movies are important for me in my study and daily life. They give me different feeling in different situations.

In a word, both of serious movies and amusing movies are important for me in my study and daily life. They give me different feeling in different situations.结尾单薄了一些。

我觉得两个分论点的例子都说得很好，言之有物，结构工整，不过结尾两句就说完了，有些意犹未尽。继续学习中。。。
