In olden days, communctions and transportation facilities were not what they are today. Most people used to remain confined to their native places for much of their lives and they did not know how people lived in other parts of the world. So they would be curious to find out about the other parts of the world. One would do that by watching movies and also by talking to people who may have come from other places.
