　　Films can tell us a lot about the country where they were made. What have you learned about a country from watching its movies? Use specific examples and details to support your response.　我要收藏
　　Movies have already become one of the most important parts of our lives. People enjoy different kinds of movies, such as entertaining movies that make people laugh and forget all the trouble for a moment, and serious movies that have people think about lives. Also, people like watching movies made by different countries because they can learn various culture, history, and what other people’ thoughts are.
　　Movies provide us access to exotic cultures. We can always learn a lot about another country, such as decoration of the houses, daily food, and different behaviors. For example, it’s better for you to make as much noise as you can when you are eating noodles in a Japanese restaurant because from Japanese people’ opinions, you are showing your adoration of the noodles by doing so. I am always attracted by these sorts of interesting exotic customs because I can both widen my horizon and be aware of what I should do when I go to another country.
　　Movies can not only show us culture, but tell us history stories as well. For those who have background knowledge, they can have a better understanding of the movie. while for those who are equipped with little historical knowledge can start to know it from the movie they are watching. A large number of movies illustrate incidents happened in certain period of time, which make people think and learn. When I was watching the movie named “Rwanda Hotel”, I was deeply touched and impressed by the terrible massacre and kind-hearted people, which encourages me to be brave and tough no matter how big the trouble is.
　　Furthermore, getting to know about various ideologies is another crucial aspect of watching movies made by other countries. Movie is a perfect outlet to promote relationship between different nations, and we gradually know what other countries’ people’s thoughts simultaneously. By enjoying movies, I find that there is a huge difference between Canadians and people in my country. We consider filial piety one of the most important things in our life because parents gave us birth and nurtured us, so we have obligation to respect them and take care of them when they no longer can take of themselves well. Conversely, Canadians are more likely to have their parents enjoy lives by themselves. order people usually live far away from their offspring and do all kinds of things by themselves.
　　To sum up, watching movies made by other countries is an excellent way to learn about different culture, history and people’s thoughts.
