Some group of people thinks that film is just for entertainment while other people argue that it should have educational importance. I partially agree with this line of thought. Ideas enunciated further in my discourse will support my point of view.

, people think that movies should be just for fun because they think it is just a leisure time where people spend with friends and family by watching a film together at home or in the theatre. It depends on the type of movie you are watching in the cinema hall. For instance, movies like Golmaal and Housefull are full of entertainment, so people interest in watching this category movies then it is just for the sake of fun. It also depends on the people’s visual skills how they take the whole picture in their mind.

On the other hand, some people say that film should have educational values some of the movies are really motivating and inspirational to watch and for those movies people loved to see and spend money. For example, a movie like 3 idiots tells us about how the education system played sole importance in one’s life and how you manage your family and study altogether. There are a lot of films that tell us about learning, inspirational and motivational thoughts in a very simple and systematic way so all shall grasp the whole movie and can implement in life.

To conclude, movies have both educational and entertainment values; it depends on people’s interest and .
