Would it be a good thing if you could view just the good parts?!

Seeing only the good parts of a text can be a good and bad thing. In a certain sporting events, it can be a good thing. If a person is not particularly interested in a sport, but he/she still likes seeing the points scored during the game, that person can watch the highlight reels. This will save that person time and he will get to see what he/she wants to. A way that seeing only the good parts can be bad though is a person watching a sporting event that they are really interested in.

If one is really intrigued by a sport, that person should want to see every little play. They should know all the terms and all of the penalties. If they see all the plays, they can distinguish great plays, from amazing plays. They are not actually watching there sport if they just look at the good parts. Movies have a similar approach in the way that seeing only the good parts can be good and bad.

Seeing only the good parts in movies a person is not particularly interested in could be a good thing. If they think the movie was OK, but it had unnecessary scenes and that it was too long, seeing only the good parts can be a really good thing. Although there are some good points, there can be a lot more bad points seen in only watching the good parts in a movie.

If people start only watching the good parts, they will eventually forget what the bad parts were like. If a person only sees the good parts of movies, how can they compare it to the bad parts. A person can not compare something like this if there is no bad parts to compare. So seeing the bad parts of movies make the good parts even better because a person can compare the two and realize how much better a particular scene is then another. Also, in this same kind of topic, a person could then choose their favorite movie better. If people only see the good things in movies, a lot of movies would be similar and it would be hard to choose a favorite. With seeing everything in a movie, a person can easily tell which movies are bad, and which movies are good. This should limit there choice of their favorite movie and also make that movie even better. A person will know how hard another person has worked on that film, since it is so good. That same person will know how poorly someone worked on a bad movie. All in all, movies are better when a person can see the whole thing rather than just the good parts.
