Benefits of watching good movies

Good movies can teach viewers about social issues in a fictional or documentary form. As a result, such movies have the power to help viewers make decisions and take positive actions. In such ways, movies can be a great learning tool.

Movies like 'Lawrence of Arabia', 'Forest Gump', 'Silence of the Lambs', 'Rain Man', 'Brave Heart', 'Taare Zameen Par', 'Three Idiots', 'Jibon Theke Neya', and 'Matir Moyna' allowed audiences and critics to understand episodes from history and the intricacies of human life and the mind.

A movie allows viewers to disconnect from the mundane life and escape into the plot depicted on screen. It is a wonderful medium through which someone can become more humane.

Living in the age of the internet is also allowing people to watch foreign movies online. Before watching any movie, I engage in a brief research about the movie's director and reviews. This helps me decide whether I should spend two hours on the movie. Most films inspire and motivate people to break free from their limitation and conquer fears.
