12. Pros Contd.
 A good cinema always raises issues that makes them question
things and force them to search solution.
 Stretches their imaginations and possible learn something
about the world.
 Good comedy movies always refresh the mind & help in
increasing creativity.
 The knowledge we have learn in school is very limited, but in
the media, you could obtain necessary supplements for
broadening your view.

13. Conclusion
 Each and every movie has its positive and negative points.
As per my view is concern, from movie we learnt so many
good things. Now its totally depends upon youth's mind,
which point they grasped from the movie.
 It depends on the mentality of peoples that how we are
adopting the things and what we are adopting like in movie
"DHOOM" in which so many tricks are there to stole
anything, which is not good for our society and also we can
take the example of movie "3 IDIOTS" where so many things
are there to learn, which is good for our society.
 So in my opinion movies are like knife for our society it
depends on us how we take it.
