Does this sentence have a problem? - "Chinese movies and TV shows started using subtitles..."
"Chinese movies and TV shows started using subtitles in the late 1990s."
I am thinking this sentence is like this one: " Movies use subtitles". But in fact, can movies USE something?
Thanks.

Yes, movies can use subtitles. I know it sounds weird that a movie can use something. It is the same as saying, "That book uses a lot of old English words". You can say, "Movies have subtitles", or "That book has a lot of old English words." It's the same thing.

"Movies use subtitles (all the time in all times)" I know this is not ture, but what is thinkable is also possible. Feeling knows nothing about logic.

Movies use subtitles to get the message across and widen their possible audience. They use fancy names to get attention and be noticed. They use big name stars for actors for various reasons.
Movies use subtitles.
As Vladimir says below; No problem with this sentence. :)
