托福IBT高分作文范文：电影是严肃的还是娱乐化的
The question of what kind of movie to watch is a familiar one in my home. While my father does not care formovies a great deal, my mother is very fond of this kind of entertainment. Unfortunately, her tastes are verydifferent from mine, and she mostly likes movies that fall into the light entertainment category. I, on the other hand,do not enjoy watching movies that aim only to amuse. Generally, I derive a greater sense of enjoyment from moviesthat get me to think, because I can find better light entertainment elsewhere and I consider movies a serious artform.
Sometimes, of course, I enjoy movies that amuse or entertain lightly in order to distract myself from theseriousness of everyday life. Humorous movies such as slapstick comedies are my favorites amongst the amusingones, and every once in a while I even enjoy a romantic comedy. These movies offer a kind of escape. However,there are other ways of distraction that I prefer. For example, I enjoy taking long walks or listening to music muchmore than I enjoy watching a flick that means to accomplish nothing more than diversion. Movies, to me, areserious business.
I tend to look at movies as an art form that should engage its audience and also challenge them. Of course thereare different ways to accomplish these two goals. A director might make creative use of stylistic means such asediting or lighting or camera movement. Together with the screenwriter he/she might find ways to present arelationship between classical or stereotypical characters in a complex and innovative way. Ideally, he/she willpresent an important social issue from a point of view that has not been thoroughly discussed. Thus, through his/herwork, he/she will make his/her audience think about questions they had not considered before. Thereby, they willadd to the discussion and make a contribution to culture and society. In my opinion, this is the goal of all art and thusit should also be the goal of movie making.
