Translation Help - Japanese Sentence/Phrase?

Question:


Hello, I need help translating this sentence:

The film teaches people the importance to be happy.

Thank you in advance.

Answer:


If the sentence begins with "Films(Movies) teach", I'd agree with first answer.
But for this one, I'd go:

その映画は幸福の大切さを教えてくれます。
その映画は幸せであることの大切さを教えてくれます。
(talking about a specific film, not 'in general')

* I don't translate "people" here because we know "whom".
