Some people believe watching films is a waste of time. Do you agree or disagree?
Agree
Passive entertainment that does not stimulate any senses
Can create wrong notions about people, approaches and also instigate distorted behavior
People can go into state of disconnection from those around them
Disagree
Helps relax, rejuvenate and also entertain
Can be a healthy distraction from mundane life
Can graphically represent and promote national, social and communal aspirations, and deliver important messages subtly
Help viewers satisfy their craving for adventure, suspense, horror, profound situations, and so forth
Those skeptical of motion pictures term engaging with this medium as squandering invaluable time. Even though this perception has been widely propagated, it is misplaced and lacks substance.
The cynicism surrounding the use of this audio visual medium cites sporadic instances in support. This media is blamed for being unproductive and instigating distorted behaviour, wherein viewers, especially those with deviant thoughts, waste hours in sedentary postures, and instead draw inspiration from the plots, and engage in illegal behaviour. Nevertheless, umpteen human behaviourists allay these fears, and profess that the overwhelming majority, even youngsters, can differentiate between reel and real life, and consume such content to satisfy their craving for suspense, sufferings, and committing antisocial acts without partaking in them.
Nevertheless, this prolific tool of entertainment affords the most plausible medium of earning a healthy distraction from the mundane of hectic life, most humans are condemned to lead, and not only unwind but also rejuvenate fatigued minds and bodies, helping prepare one to go back to the same routine of meeting social, personal, familial, and professional obligations, with a refreshed mindset. Historically, mankind has indulged with various forms of art, to surmount hurdles posed by exhaustion, and films are just the modern manifestation of the same art.
Similarly, viewing movies can render an enriching experience by exposing music, acting, scenic views of the location they are shot in, social and traditional practices, and so forth, to those watching these. Many admit gathering knowledge about diverse regions, cultures, peoples, locales, and so on, by viewing cinema, without actually traveling
In hindsight, disputes aside, this allegation is founded on misconceptions, and unproven narratives; this way of entertaining oneself has empowered everyone to derive healthy and safe entertainment, besides obtaining abundant knowledge about disparate corners of the world.
