Why do we watch movies?
Movies are one of the main sources of entertainment in our society today, and they have been for many years. Movies are a way to escape our problems and think about something other than our own lives because they take you away from reality and to a new place. They can make you believe magical things or places are real for a short amount of time. Some people may watch movies to learn about new things or cultures, or to listen to or study a new language. Sometimes I think that people who want to find something do go to the movies to kill time. Also, people who want to hang out with their friends but don't know where to go will often go to the movies. I believe this is because movies have been part of our lives for so long that it feels normal to go to the movies and it is a widely accepted way to pass time. It is also really easy and effortless to just sit down and stare at a screen, but it is very entertaining all at the same time which makes movies loved by many.
I really believe you are right that movies can trick us into believing in magic for just a short while. That's one of the most seductive things about film.
ReplyDeleteTechnology has advanced so much to make film more realistic. Movie theaters have grown in screen size and better sound systems such as the IMAX. Also, Oculus has developed a virtual reality headset to further make the experience more real.
