Movies should always show audience good people are being rewarded and bad people are being punished, agree or disagree?
The booming movie industry now offers us many choices when we stand at the counter of a cinema discussing which movie is worth watching and which is not. Some argue that movies should always show good people rewarded and bad people punished, while others do not agree with it, they think movies should not follow that patterns. As to me, I prefer the latter.
A stereotyped plot makes a less interesting. Audience is always curious, that is to say, they’d like to view something new, something unusual, something out of routine when they watch a film. If they can guess the end at the start of a movie, knowing good man will finally beat the evil, they will lose their enthusiasm to go on. Discouraged by watching such stereotyped movies several times, audience will finally lose interest to go to cinemas, which in turn damages the whole industry a lot.
Admittedly children will be taught to believe in virtue and justice through such movies, however, when they grow up they will finally find the world doesn’t go along the routine depicted in the movies. Good people may suffer from tragedy and misfortune, while the evil can live a prosperous and respectful life. Not to mention the indistinct boundary between a good and a evil. That there is neither absolute good man nor absolute bad man is right the truth of the real world. Rather than telling fairy tales about heroes beating the dragon, it is wiser to teach children think over the real world gradually.
Educational as it is, movie is more an entertainment to enjoy. Movies exist for our pleasure and for recreation and the kind of comfort that suits each of best. We can relieve our anxiety through a comedy, loneliness through a romantic one, and depression though a encouraging one. People go to movies not for moral education but for amusement, inspiration and consolation. It would be quiet disappointing that this entertainment turns out to be a moral textbook.
As far as I am concerned, it is not advisable for movies to show audience good people are rewarded and bad people punished. Movies are open and unlimited, which should not be compelled to follow such an stereotyped pattern. |
