Movies are entertaining but have no real value. By Lim Kay Kiat

Movies are just for entertainment.Movies today encompass a huge variety of genres, from horror to action or even comedy. Comedy movies for example, are solely meant for entertainment and have no educational value in them at all. An example of a comedy movie that was pretty well rated is Ah Boys to Man. The show had many great jokes, but there was little value in it. Furthermore, some action movies contain violent scenes and are overly bloody. Research has shown that people who often watch these forms of movies tend to have tendencies of violent or even try to harm others. (EXPLAIN) Thus movies are entertaining but have no real value.
However, some people disagree. They believe that some movies do have value in them, SUCH AS THE like Titanic and Saving Private Ryan. These movies have much educational value and after watching these movies one may feel more enriched.(EXPLAIN IN WHAT WAY) For example in the movie Men of Honor, viewers can learn from the lead character, Carl Brashear to be persistent and never give up in the face of difficulties. Thus movies do have real value and are not purely for entertainment.
