Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Movies and television
shows made in foreign countries are usually more interesting and popular than
those made in our home countries. Many people enjoy watching movies and
television programs, and some are particularly attracted by foreign films and TV
shows, which seem more appealing than those produced in their home countries. I
am one of those people who like to view the new things represented in
foreign films and embrace differences in cultures. First, although most films
and TV shows themselves are fascinating no matter where they are made (is this true? A lot of it is rubbish!), foreign
ones may seem more interesting because nearly everything in them is new to overseas audiences. Those exotic places, people, animals, clothes, scenery,
construction, plants, and so on in overseas films are more engrossing than common
images, which audiences are used to. Secondly, foreign films remind us of the
differences between cultures, which not only invite us to reflect on our own way
of thinking but also promote our understanding of diversity. For example, I saw
an American movie about mountain climbers many years ago when we didnât have ( or maybe - ago, at which point we hadnât had) any
professional climbers here in China. I was shocked and also inspired by their
adventurous spirit and attitude to life. In conclusion, I believe foreign films and
TV shows are more interesting because they let us experience new things and
offer different perspectives on reality.
