Most people like watching movies made from different countries, not only because they

Essay 928 Topic 183 What have you learned about a country from watching its 
movies? 
Although films are mainly the directors` personal products and describe various terms of 
life, they also lead the audience to the values of the director`s country and show the 
character of people living there. I have watched a lot of American movies, and they made 
me realize about the life in America. 
First, the values impressed me a lot. Many American movies express that America is built 
on equality and freedom. When I got these messages from the movies, I can feel that in 
the depth of my heart there is a voice saying,?I agree with the faith!?They also describe 
how a democratic government works. This gave me a chance to think about what a real 
democracy is. Sometimes these films also reveal the dark side of the American society, 
such as the race problems. However, because of their reality, I could understand how the 
virtue formed in United States of America. 
Second, people`s images in these movies are so vivid that some typical American 
characters can be seen, for example: the common characters of Americans are bravery, 
willing to take challenges, and active to others. I think people with these characters 
because most of them are Christian. This also can be found in films. A good American 
movie usually discusses about the virtues in different ways. And it also tries to make 
audience be influenced by the scenario of the movie.

Above all, I realized that the films are the reflection of the country where they are made. 
If we want to understand about another country, the best and fastest way is to watch their 
movies. The values, the characters of people, the customs are all shown in the stories 
prepared by directors. Therefore, though we couldn`t visit all the countries in the world, 
we still could acquaint ourselves with them by film, and this action would really open our 
views to the world. 
Essay 929 Topic 183 What have you learned about a country from watching its 
movies? 
In today`s busy world films play a very important role. Watching film for a change from 
daily routine and for fun is the most common activity in the world. According to my 
opinion, most of the time people just come from their work and watch a film to get 
relaxed from the office stress. 
I personally also like watching film; it gives me a change and takes me far away. I agree 
that films can tell us a lot about the country where they were made. For example films 
which have been made in India can tell about Indian culture and traditions, about people 
and their life style, about the different marriage tradition and how they arrange it. How 
big the role of parents and other family members is in the marriage decision. How it is 
looks like? I have lots of Indian movies and got an idea about these. Now I can discuss 
thing with my Indian friend. 
Besides that, I have seen couple of German films. Through those I have learnt a lot about 
German history, German culture, punctuality and discipline. I have an imagination about, 
how it is looks like. 
I think films are very necessary in life regarding learning. I have seen it, if you do not 
remain update with films, you feel yourself out of place in a gathering. On the hand, I 
agree that not every film is educative some times it also can give a wrong picture of a 
country because films are not always based on the realty. So, it is depends up on what 
kind of a film a person watching. 
Essay 930 Topic 183 What have you learned about a country from watching its

In our days TV and the cinema are important mediums to get informed and relaxed. 
Every evening we can see films which were made in different countries. In a certain 
extent it is true that we can learn a lot about the country where the film was made. 
The first point I would like to mention is the location. American films for example are 
made in America itself. So we can see the landscape there, e. g. the beaches in California 
or the big city centers like New York or Washington. Secondly, a film present a specific 
topic. This topic is often related to the social and cultural background of the country. That

means the film tells us a story in a special environment. So we can watch people living in 
slums or visiting colleges and high schools, e. g. in the film merican pie? And thirdly, a 
very important fact which support the statement that a film tells a lot about a country, is 
that a film often have an historical background. This gives information about history and 
the behavior of the people. For instance the film arafina?present the situation in the 
slum oweto?during the time where Nelson Mandela was in prison. Furthermore, a film 
shows the behavior of the people and the lifestyle. So we can regard specific customs, 
like the tea time in England and we can get a look into the houses or flats of the people 
there. 
So, to sum up and to make the point, I think a film, especially the historic ones, can tell a 
lot about the country where the film was made. 
Essay 931 Topic 183 What have you learned about a country from watching its 
movies? 
As a means of art, movies are derived from life and express a lot of things of life. To a 
country, a movie that it make tell people many things about itself, such as culture, 
history, civilization etc. 
In my mind, first of all, movies always reflect the most popular topics of the country 
which make it. To American, esire? uzzle? deal? ompetition?may be the 
permanent themes of the movies. From the September 11th, last year. More and More 
movies which claim anti-terrorism emerged, such as ollateral damage? etc. From these 
movies, it is not difficult to see, how deeply the terrorism affected the whole country and 
how anxious the people`s demand of anti-terrorism is. 
Moreover, through watching a movie we can learn a period of specific history of the 
country. Many people may be familiar with the movie aterloo Bridge? the background 
of the movie is just around the World second war when Japan attacked Hawaii of 
America. It was very vivid to describe the story which happened in that age. I was moved 
by this movie and learned a lot of knowledge about that period of history. It is more 
effective and efficient than any history book. 
Since movies are derived from life, they reflect many aspects of people`s life. merican 
pie?describes a group of high school students` life before they went to universities. It is 
very helpful for us to learn about how American high school `s students think about love, 
happy and relationship between they and their parents. On the other hand, he Bridges of 
Madison county?depicts a moving story about a middle-aged lady. From her sacrifice 
behavior, we realized an American women`s attitude to family and her notion towards 
love. 
Really, movies give us different experiences and efficient ways to learn about a country. 
Even we have never been to the country or traveled there, we still can learn a lot of things 
of it from a movie.
