Commercial Movies

  I like movies which have unique individualities and good artistic qualities. However, most people tend to be fond of commercial movies only. Of course, I don’t mean to say all of commercial movies don’t have any good artistic qualities. But most commercial movies tend to pursue only entertainingness and nudity. These would be reasons why they would be able to attract audiences’ attention. Movies are said to be the art expressed by the screens. In that sense, I’d like to talk such worldly movies should be avoided. Besides through commercial movies, American culture would be naturally widespred all over the world. Accordingly it may happen the one-sided cultural subordination. With capital on a large-scale, they can get rid of each country’s specific film industry and subsequently some good movies of their own would be in danger of being detroyed by them. Through movies, we should not only relieve from stress in the way of catharsis but also advance further even to provide our minds with plenty of nutrition. On this point I suggest that wi shouldn’t enjoy watching only commercial movies, rather enjoy seeing a variety of movies with good artistic qualities and unique individuals from around the world. To accomplish these, audiences should think of the movies as a part of art and filmmakers shouldn’t also think of the movies as a means to gey profits only, and should regard them as a medium to project their thought in the movies with such an elevated attitude of aesthetic artists.
