Alright, let's argue, shall we?
What arguments can you offer to support the claim that they are useless?

I'll start by stating my own arguments. Films are just as much a part of art as books are. Just like painting, architecture, music, and any other field of culture. And just like other areas of culture, films develop a person. Firstly, they convey some kind of information, just like books. They impart knowledge – and knowledge can be gained from anywhere. After reading a good book, you reflect on its meaning, re-evaluate something, and change something within yourself. Who said that this doesn't happen after watching a good film? The main thing is to convey the essence. This can be done in any form; whoever is skilled in a particular area can use it to convey their message. If you're good at drawing, create paintings and convey a message through them. If you're good at writing poetry or books, express your thoughts in written form. If you have a good ear and can write music, compose music. If you can demonstrate your idea through a real-life (or fantastical, it doesn't matter) example and visualize it, make a film.

That might be the case. And people also earn money through movies.

You need to make a living somehow. If you can do what you love and get paid for it, that's wonderful. Your whole life is in your own hands through your Creation.

Watching movies offers as much benefit as browsing the internet. In each specific case, it may vary.

Hello, I am Captain Grain Smith, and I am with the U.S. Army in Afghanistan, currently stationed with the troops fighting terrorism. I served in the 1st Armored Division in Kabul, and based on the USLE decision to withdraw troops from Afghanistan, I will be coming to your country on a NATO platform soon. Our mission is to strengthen targeted countries against terrorism and drug trafficking; I will need a vehicle for myself there, in your country, and would like to invest in a CONSTRUCTION COMPANY and other ventures, because I have noticed that your country is developing rapidly, so I contacted you. Thank you, Captain Grain Smith.

Is it possible without using Google Translate? :)

Watching movies is as beneficial as browsing the internet.

Why?

Of course, not all movies are beneficial. If a movie is stupid and mediocre, if it lacks any original plot, if there is nothing special about it, then that movie is useless. Almost all modern action movies are like that – a simple, straightforward plot, a lot of nonsense instead of real facts and laws of physics (if people who don't know anything, that is, children, watch it, they won't develop, but rather, they will develop incorrectly, if not outright degrade). But this is by no means a drawback of film culture, because it is a drawback of all cultures in general – there can be simple and meaningless music, untalented paintings about nothing, and so on.

Menty, I think this is original :D

Menty, I think this is the original.

And I wasn't even doubting that the message author was the original :D

Wow, it turns out that action games are needed to develop.

No, because I'm actually doing the opposite.

>the movie is pointless. Almost all modern action films are like that.

Yes, that's correct.

I'm saying that these action games don't offer any development.

Well, that's because they have a different purpose. A fork is useless for soup.

Klov, don't be like the early, foolish Toxik; there's no need to ponder the development and degradation.

You'll understand the meaninglessness of it later, but it will be too late. Believe me, I know from personal experience.
