Everyone has been to cinemas for at least several times, and I found all the movies which attract me most are those which can make me think and imagine afterwards. Seeing the sloth moving in a slow-motion in the movie Zootopia, I thought about the idea that all the government officers lack efficiency. After watching Point Break, I imagine all the criminals breaking laws to help people. Bell Hooks’ concept is that movies give the reimagined version of the real and they have presence of social values. Movies that have both social issues and heroic figure can attract people and create values.

Most movies depict a environment similar to ours with some certain social values. As Bell Hooks mentioned, most of us go to movies for entertainment and for entering a different world which we are comfortable with. However, in the darkness of the theatre, most audience choose to give themselves over to the images depicted and imagination created those images. They try to understand every aspect and detail in the movie, and they will have a very strong memorization in those scenes which reflect their daily life. This is basically why we are interested in movies and how movie plays a pedagogical role. Being a critical writer, Bell Hooks says that there is always a magical moment in every film of Spike Lee, and he is always very eager to read and analyze them critically to give a new perspective on the work. Spike Lee’s first movie, She’s Gotta Have it, offered a vision in cinema of a sexually liberated black woman, which generated more discussions of the race, and violence against black woman than any other book and movies.

Breaking Bad is a famous crime drama television series which involves with drug, violence, health, and family. It is typically a TV series which has included many of “cool” social issues. Knowing that dealing of drugs is a serious social problem, the director Vince Gilligan created a tragic hero who produces and sells drugs throughout the movie. The story tells Walter White, a high school teacher changes into a drug dealer with his former student, and achieves a great success in the whole game. This is one of the few works which depicts crime, violence, and race in a direct way and make those topics “cool” and interesting. Saying drug dealer is “cool” does not mean they are worth following, and Breaking Bad keeps telling people the danger and serious damage of drugs. Because the main character is a drug dealer, the whole drama does not criticize the problem directly and it depicts dealing with drug a cool way to make large amount of money. It plays a pedagogical role while attracting audience to different compacting plots and frequently happened climaxes. The point which makes me admire the director most is that he can use a typical social problem to be the main clue in the drama, and change the protagonist into an antagonist. Being a clue of the drama, drug problem has been a social issue for a long time, and it can not be eradicated completely. In this new world, many young people
