There are a variety of ways to learn abouta person. The things that person is fond of may reflect some aspects of him,such as books and movies he favors, while the opponents may cast doubt on itdue to the complexity of human nature. From my perspective, we could be blindto the real nature of a person only by judging from the books and movies helikes.
　　Undoubtedly, one’s favorites give some informationabout his personal features. To some extent, the books he reads expose his educationlevel and profession. A person with low education level will never read a bookrequires too much intelligence. Unsurprisingly, a large number of peopleusually tend to choose the books related to his job to read. In terms ofmovies, they can reveal one’s taste and percipient. For instance, we can neverexpect purity of someone who falls into porn movies，andsimilarly, someone who is crazy about operas might not be a worldly friend.Therefore, the books and movies in one’s collection do reflect some sides of aperson.
　　Nevertheless, the books and movies, which insome sense are hobbies, may mislead us in judging him. Hobbies can act as acontributing factor for us to obtain the external information of a person, butserve little in unearthing the internal nature. The following evidence canjustify this point. In the World War II, following their leader Hitler, most ofthe officers of Nazi Germany possessed high level of music taste. Theyslaughtered innocent Jews while listening to the symphony of Beethoven.
　　In addition, one’s favorite books andmovies cannot be the omnibearing indicator of a person. Some information, suchas family background and real personality, cannot gather from the books andmovies he fancies. An individual can be multidimensional, which is the natureof human race. We can also learn about a person from the friends around him,because people make friends who are similar or equivalent to them. The only wayto learn about a person entirely is to live with him and go through ups anddowns together. In this case, there is nowhere for him to hide and disguise. Thus,his virtues together with his weaknesses will be exposed to you.
　　Taking into account of all the factorsdiscussed above, we may reach the conclusion that judging a person by the booksand movies he choose is quite risky and blind. To know a person better, we are supposedto take more reliable ways in different situations.
