Movies-to learn,not to entertain-agree??

I believe it can go both ways. I normally watch a movie for the sake of being entertained but learning something from a movie is ok as well. I just wouldn't want to watch one that i have to learn a lesson from all the time because then I'd get tired of movies pretty quick.

This is rather a holy intention for me. But let's face it, not all movie producers would be wanting to produce a movie with a theme of giving pure lessons at the end. Some would really do it for money or for more income. Movie making is popularity and in today's trend, many movies are produced with sexy themes, violence and all that. So maybe the intention of having a movie with good intention to teach are still present and should be present. In cases where this is not possible, the rest will all depend upon the viewers. People have different taste.

In some ways I agree. I think that is a good idea overall. However, I hate politically motivated movies they really make me mad! I don't mind some types of "learning" movies. But sometimes when I want to watch a movie, I just want to be entertained! I am watching it because I am tired and life has drained me... so in general I agree, just not totally!

Everything has a message or meaning, the problem is that many people fail to see it. Many movies that people would say have no value and are a waste of time have a hidden moral about something to deal with life. The question is are you will to take that message in. For me, sometimes I do and sometimes I don't. There are often times that I watch a movie just for the pure pleasure of being able to not have to think about it.
