Movie Spoilers

Many people love to talk and write about new movies.

However, there are always some people who have not seen these films yet.

So, people wonder whether it is okay to talk and write about new movies.

Some people think it's not okay to discuss new movies in public.

They claim that this spoils the movies for others.

These people will not want to watch the movies because they already know the surprise endings or plot twists.

Some people also claim that spoilers do harm to movie companies.

If people already know what happens in the story, they will be less likely to pay to see the movie for themselves.

Then, movie companies will lose money in ticket sales and advertisements.

However, other people say it is fine to talk and write about new movies.

They do not think that people will stop watching these movies just because they know some details beforehand.

In fact, some people insist that spoilers can actually be beneficial to movie companies.

They help to create a buzz for a new film.

Then, more people will become curious about the movie and head to the movie theaters.
