"have/has" and "there is/are"
People and animals need to use "have/has".
Places need to use "there is/are".
What about the others? Like a movie, or some abstract things.

If I've understood your question correctly, it's based on the fact that English has two different verbs to express one verb (you3) in Chinese. This issue exists in Russian and Semitic languages as well. Here's a real quick thought:
There is a library in the city. -- Topic / subject / focus is the library.
The city has a library. -- Topic / subject focus is the city.

Places are somewhere.
A movie is an abstract thing.
Movies are plural.
A movie is singular.
