If you feel sad, remember not to watch a happy movie. A sad movie may be good for you. Some scientists at Ohio State University found that sad movies can make people happier. They showed their study in a magazine called Communication Reaches.
Scientists asked 361 college(大学) students to watch a sad movie. The movie tells a story of two lovers who were separated(分开). They died during World War II at the end of the movie. The361 college students answered questions from the scientists before, after and three times during the movie to find out their different feeling, such as sadness.
According to the result, scientists found out that people felt better after watching the sad movie. Scientists believed this was because the movie made them think about their lives. Compared to those of unlucky lovers, their lives were full of hope.
"I want to live my life to the fullest, and this movie made me think a lot, "one student wrote. Silvia Knobloch- Westerwick, the head of the study, said that bad moods(情绪) would make people more thoughtful. "Good moods are usually a sign(迹象)that everything is fine. You don't have to worry, and you don't have to think about your problems in your life, " she said. "But bad moods make you feel terrible. So, seeing a sad movie may make you feel bad, but that will make you think more about yourself and be full of hope in the future. "
