Some people believe that the only purpose of films is to entertain.

Others say films


should have educational value. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
 
The purposes of watching films have been a topic of concern in modern society.
While some people consider movies a source of entertainment  with no other
additional values, others believe in the educational benefits of them. As far as this
is concerned, one cannot neglect the education tonal aspect of these productions.
Films, regardless of genre, are a means of entertainment for people. Seeing a
movie means people can temporarily escape from their daily life, which may help
them relieve their stress and be mentally healthier.  There are, in addition to this,
some specific genres of movies such as comedy, which can make people laugh and
become elated. In brief, films are true of great entertainment benefit.
It would be, however, an exaggeration to state that the sole purpose of movies is
to entertain because other aspects of them such as the educational one are
not negligible. Viewers have been using films to learn foreign languages, in a
sense that listening to people conversing in a film is a great way to hear native
actors and actresses speaking their language. Some others have, furthermore,
watched films to learn about the culture and ways of life of other places on Earth.
An excellent example of this is the documentary "love market in Sapa", from which
people may learn about Sapa, a famous tourist attraction  in the north of Vietnam.
In conclusion, movies can truly entertain people and simultaneously provide them
with great educational benefits, such as learning a new language or culture. It is
predicted that more people will consider films as essential learning materials in the
future.
Overall, this trend brings more benefits than drawbacks to society. The only
disadvantage that is worth mentioning is that companies that own famous brands
may become monopolistic, which may be disadvantageous for consumers in the
long term because these companies may lose the motivation to improve
themselves. Laws and governmental policies, however, are now readily available to
prevent any company from reaching the state of monopoly, so this disadvantage
may be out of the question. This trend is of greater benefit, in a sense that buyers
of a product with a well-known name are assured of product quality. These people,
as a result, are less likely to worry about the chance of buying a low-quality item.
When they buy more products with popular brand names, they may eventually attain
the state of having all of their possessions up to a modern perception of what is a
good product.
In conclusion, the two most prominent reasons as to why people purchase products
from famous companies are product quality assurance and the desire to be a part of
a community owning and using the same range of items. This development is
positive to society at large, despite the only drawback being the chance it may turn
a company into a monopolistic one. I predict that this trend will continue into the
future, and consumers may thrive in a society where the quality of every single
product is standardized, which is guaranteed by its brand name.
