关于电影的托福作文范文

　　Some movies are serious, designed to make the audience think. Other movies are designed primarily to amuse and entertain. Which type of movie do you prefer? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

　　有些电影主题深刻，旨在令观者思考，而有的电影则主要是为了消遣和娱乐。你更喜欢哪种电影？请用具体的理由和事例来说明。

　　I most definitely prefer movies that are entertaining, meaning I can “hold them in my mind.” Thus, a movie that makes me think would also be, in my mind, supremely entertaining.

　　Take a recent movie, The King's Speech, as one example. In this historical drama, the anguish suffered by George VI of England because of his stutter forces the viewer to consider how often we all are afflicted by similar shortcomings such as stage fright or severe shyness. The moral of this fine movie is simply this: If you work hard, and have faith in yourself, you can overcome any weakness and achieve success.

　　The King's Speech is certainly philosophical and erudite, filled with historical references and sophisticated dialogue. But it is also hilariously funny. In one scene, for example,the King explains to Lionel Logue （his speech therapist）， that the royal physicians have advised him to smoke cigarettes to relax his throat muscles. “They're idiots,” says Lionel.“They've all been knighted,” the King replies. “Makes it official then,” retorts Lionel.When I saw this scene in the movie theater, the audience erupted into howls of laughter.

　　There are many other such humorous bits in this movie, interspersed with scenes of great emotion. The King's Speech is entertaining in all definitions of the word. Another movie that I found to be most entertaining （because it made me think AND amused me） is Not One Less, directed by Zhang Yimou. This movie tells the story of 13-year-old Wei Minzhi, who is hired as a substitute teacher in a poor country town,even though she is only slightly older than the students. When one of the students leaves to find work in the city, she recruits the others to help her raise money to find him and bring him back. Although the “schoolhouse” is little more than a ramshackle hovel and although the students are living in horrible poverty, this movie shines with hope. Watching it, I thought about how an inspirational teacher can change the lives of even the most disadvantaged students, and how important it is to make good on your promises. The children in the movie were just delightful to watch, and I found myself laughing often at their antics.

　　It all comes down to this: The best movies, in my opinion, make me laugh, make me cry,thrill me to no end. They also make me think.
