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.
Do you ever watch movies from other countries? Whenever I do, I think about
how similar people really are all around the world. Even though the cultures and
languages in those movies are different from mine, people all around the world
are alike in their goals and emotions.
One time, I saw a movie made in china that showed parents helping their
children with their homework. . My parents helped me the same way. Another time
I saw a movie from Argentina. It showed school children playing hide and seek,
which is a game I used to play with my friends during recess. Seeing these films
demonstrated to me that education is a common goal in every country. Parents
want their children to learn so their lives will improve. It also showed me that
children in schools everywhere wants to play with their friends. Sometimes the
games are similar to ours and sometimes they’re different. Still, they all have
the common purpose of fun and learning to work together.
Earning a living is another common goal. I’ve often seen that in movies
about other countries. In some countries, people choose their careers from what
they like and are good at. In other countries, careers are chosen for them
following the traditions of their families. But in every country it seems that
people care a great deal about earning a living, and working hard is
respected.
Showing people having fun together is always an important part of any
movies, no matter what country it comes from. People everywhere want to be
entertained, and want to spend time with their families and friends. Different
cultures sometimes enjoy different activities, but all cultures enjoy some form
of sports, music and dancing.
The movies I’ve seen make it clear to me that no matter the cultural
differences between countries, people everywhere have the same basic needs and
goals.
