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

Movies

are considered to be one of the most important segments of the entertainment industry. There are people who argue that films are only created to entertain the audience while others argue that these should have educational messages as well. In

this

essay, I will discuss both sides of the arguments and will support my view of including the essence of education in

movies

with examples.

Firstly

, I tend to disagree that the only motive to create

movies

is to entertain.

This

is because cinema is viewed by all age groups including children and all parents expect their children to learn something new from

movies

.

For example

- when I used to watch the movie "The Jungle Book" as a child, my parents always taught me that Mowgli wins over Sherkhan because of the fact that good wins over evil.

As a result

,

movies

ought to bring out positive energy and have learning values that can support people to balance many real-

life

situations.

Secondly

, I strongly agree that films should have informational utility along with enjoyment. The reason is that most of the

movies

are based on real-lifelife events which can help people to tackle the different situations one may come across in their

life

.

For example

-

Movies

such

as "Bhagat Singh" are based on real-

life

events of freedom fighters who sacrificed their lives for the independence of the country and help us to understand the importance of the sacrifices of our revolutionaries.

Therefore

, all feature films should include a handful of important

life

lessons which can be fruitful to each and every audience. In conclusion, cinema should be a blend of entertainment and learning as the audience may expect to understand

life

concepts from a different perspective other than what they already are aware of. So, I wholeheartedly believe that lessons are a part of

life

and should be included whenever and wherever possible.
