As social animals, we could hardly live a day without communicating with others. To maintain a good relationship with the other people around us, we need to know them. Somebody thinks we can learn about a person from the books and movies that person likes. However, I disagree with the statement.
Admittedly, we know his or her preferences from the types of books and movies a person usually chooses. Maybe the preferences can reflect a person’s personality, but the way limited and superficial. We can’t judge somebody is humorous through to his favorite movies that are comedies. Therefore, I don’t think I can get some valuable reference by this way.
First, most of people have so many types of preferences that we couldn’t learn about them simply and accurately. For example, I like different types of movies. I like comedy that lets me recover from depression. I like action movies that I can get the excitement from heartbeat driving up. I like affectional film because the love it conveys can comfort sensitive me. One type of movie is one side of my character. Action movies reflect my passion, comedy reflects my joy. Neither books nor movies can reflect all of me.
In addition, like a certain type of movies or books do not mean that he or she has the same type of personality. When I was in high school, I met a girl with long hair, sat in the corner, quietly reading a book. After it’s her turn to introduce herself, she said she loved watching movies with depression. All that made me think she’s a little lonely and dissocial person. To my surprise, she was outgoing in interaction and activities. We became good friends until now. One day I asked her why she loved the depressed movies. She said she was enthusiastic about embracing life from the movies. Then I knew it’s superficial to judge a person through to his or her favorite movies or books.
To sum up, most of people have plenty of types of favorite movies and books and the type of movies or books do not mean that they have the same type of personality. That’s why I disagree the statement that we can learn about a person from the books and movies that person likes.

First of all, everyone has so many types of preferences that we couldn’t learn about them simply and accurately. As for me, I like many movies in different types. I like comedy that lets me recover from depression. I like action movies because I enjoy the excitement from my body’s adrenaline and heartbeat driving up. I like affectional film because I can sense the love then comfort me who has weak emotional life. One type of movie is one side of my character. Neither books nor movies can reflect all of me.
In addition, somebody liking any type of book and movie has different reasons. When I got into high school, I met a girl with long hair, was in the corner, quietly reading a book. Then it’s her turn to introduce herself, she said she loved watching movies with depression. All that made me think she’s kind of a lonely and dissocial person. To my surprise, she was outgoing and dynamic in the interaction and activities. We became good friends until now. One day I asked her why she loved the movies with depression. She said she was enthusiastic about embracing life from the movies.
To sum up, people have plenty of types of favorite movies and books, different reasons to like them. That’s why I disagree the statement that we can learn about a person from the books and movies that person likes.
