托福Toefl作文模拟题附范文 第31篇:发人深思和逗人娱乐的电影你更喜欢哪个

Movies are generally dramatic and serious, designed to make the audience think, or they are whimsical and entertaining. Both types of movies have a place in society. Serious movies can convey poignant topics with power that can alter the watcher's perspective. On the other hand, entertaining movies add levity and mirth to life. On balance, however, I prefer entertaining movies to serious ones for a number of reasons. First, life is full of seriousness, and entertaining movies allow me to escape the pressures of reality for a few hours. For instance, after my grandparents died, I had no desire to sit through one of the many movies dealing with death or loss. I was dealing with my grandparents' death emotionally, and thinking about it more during a serious movie would only serve to make me more depressed. What I needed, and found, was a comedy movie that poked fun at the frailties of life through a series of sarcastic jokes. After watching how funny and quirky life can be, I felt better, because for a few hours I was able to lose myself in someone else's life and forget my own despair. Additionally, entertaining movies make me laugh, and laughter promotes health. Scientists and doctors have long extolled the virtues of laughter. Laughter reduces stress, expels noxious air, and eases strained muscles. I can vividly remember leaving an entertaining movie feeling lightened, heartened, and calm. I had done nothing except laughing, but I felt lighter, and had a very enjoyable day. In fact, I remember replaying several scenes from the movie in my mind throughout the day, and chuckling again. Had I watched a serious movie instead, I doubt that I would have felt as if a burden was lifted. Finally, entertaining movies provide me with pop-culture one-liners that U can later relive with my friends. Take the movie Zoolander for example, a film making fun of male fashion models. In one scene, instead of physically fighting his archrival, the main character and the archrival have a “walk-off”-a spoof on male models walking the catwalk. This scene has become a staple of American pop-culture, and has afforded me and my friends numerous hours of mirth. In summary, I prefer entertaining movies to serious movies because they allow me to escape reality, provide me with healthy laughter, and allow me and easy opportunity to connect with my friends. Entertaining movies, like entertainment in general, has been around as long as there has been mankind. Its value has stood the tests of time and is intrinsically human.
