The Benefits Of Movies In The Movie

Films are a large part of our lives here in America where we depend on them to do when we’re bored with nothing to do, or when the snow or rain is falling. We all use movies as a common way to go on dates and be with friends. However, there has become an abundance amount of movies that we can all enjoy throughout our lives. Although not all movies are interesting to all viewers depending on their personality and what they like to watch. I can say for myself that a film that I really enjoy would be “Mean Girls”. In the two thousand four film “Mean Girls” there is a sense of entertainment that helps in combining all the aspects found in a classical film. Classical films having a entertaining and dramatic plot, and a excellent cast.

Today, Film and Television are among the most internationally supported commodities. Financially, their contributions are enormous: both industries are responsible for the circulation of billions of dollars each year. Since their respective explosions into the new media markets during the mid-twentieth century, film and television have produced consistently growing numbers of viewers and critics alike. Sparking debate over the nature of their viewing, film and television are now being questioned in social, political, and moral arenas for their potential impact on an audience. Critics claim that watching films or television is a passive activity in which the viewer becomes subconsciously

Don’t watch too much TV it will fry your brain! We have all heard that phrase some time in our lives, but is it really true? The answer is yes TV does cause negative effects on the brain as well as the body. My paper will address the problem of too much screen time on the brain and how it causes health problems. If the amount of time spent in front of a screen is related to brain problems, then regulating the amount of time spent in front of screens will decrease brain damage because the most common cause for brain damage is due to low levels of well-being, limiting the amount of screen time can help reduce brain damage, and too much screen time can also cause obesity.

Although cinema is now a priority, some feel as if cinema is no longer the cinema when it was first established. Movies no longer have that special feeling like viewers once had. Today, films are not only shared within a theater, if one pleases they could always have the same experience elsewhere. Moreover, with technology expanding, it takes away the importance cinema once had. “The

Movies have the ability to transport people to different times and places and distract them from ordinary everyday reality. They allow for a range of emotions to be experienced. At their core, movies examine the human condition. There are plenty of deeper truths woven into screenplays and plenty of lessons to be learned, even when an individual is solely seeking entertainment.

Although the best reasons for “going to the movies” are to be entertained and eat popcorn, understanding a film is actually quite complex. Movies are not only a reflection of life, they also have the capability of shaping our norms, values, attitudes, and perception of life. Through the media of film, one can find stories of practically anything imaginable and some things unimaginable. Movie-makers use their art to entertain, to promote political agendas, to educate, and to present life as it is, was, or could be. They can present truth, truth as they interpret it, or simply ignore truth altogether. A movie can be a work of fiction, non-fiction, or anything in-between. A film is an artist’s interpretation. What one takes away from a film depends upon how one interprets what has been seen and heard. Understanding film is indeed difficult.

With this indifference, many people are affected, as an example women are being restricted from multiple rights, and opportunities. As an ABC News film presents, Malala Yousatzai, a story about a young and small girl, that has been shot in the head and survived. Where she comes from women are just seen as housewife and servants of the husband

When people go to the movies, they go to immerse themselves in something

Ever since I was a young kid I have always been interested in movies. My grandma, who was full of the wise the life experience left, always knew about my interest in movies. She feed my vain for the art. Even though her religion, she professed Adventist of seven-day religion, didn't let her go to the cinema, she always found the way to took me to the cinema. She and I enjoyed watch movies. We used to sit in the darkness room, with our faces illuminated from the reflection of the light which rebooted from the screen, both absorbs in the plot of the movie which made us laughed or cried. After the movie, while we went back to her home, she started to talk about the movie. She had a particular point of view where the main story

It’s quite obvious that Randall Silvis favours reading over watching movies. He begins by stating all of the ways reading will help improve anyone’s skills and happiness. Subsequently, movies are only referenced once in the entirety of the article. Likewise, the reference isn’t exactly in a positive mater. Silvis seems to believe that movies trap you in view as a spectator, rather than someone who is able to fully experiencing life. Moreover, he seems to believe reading is much more fulfilling, almost like the reader is being freed from the dullness that he feels watching movies can bring on.

Whether we want to admit to it or not, Hollywood and film-making influences our lives in significant ways! Movies do not simply entertain us; movies also have the power to shape our worldview through story, because “. . . worldviews are often best expressed as stories” (Stratton, Hollywood and Higher Education). Stories prove so powerful because they allow audiences to connect; Paul J. Zak states that “Stories that are personal and emotionally compelling engage more of the brain, and thus are better remembered, than simply stating a set of facts” (Zak). Johnston claims that when moviegoers go to the cinema, “we go to find ourselves in the stories” (99). Thus, it can be clearly seen that stories have a significant impact on the human experience. Chapter 1 of Johnston’s Reel Spirituality, provides several compelling examples of the power of film shaping and impacting individual’s lives; for example, the man who decided to act on behalf of Jews after seeing Schindler’s list (25), and the little girl who found hope in Belle’s story in Beauty in the Beast (27-28), are both examples of stories impacting and influencing lives.

In this essay, I will develop a critical analysis of contemporary mainstream film and I will argue that attitudes and behaviour within this industry are adapting, albeit slowly, to respond to developing attitudes within society. To assert this theory, I will focus specifically upon the identity of the gaze and discuss how this has been applied, previously and currently, in action and science fiction films; expanding upon Laura Mulvey’s argument in Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema (1975), regarding voyeurism and the application of ‘the male gaze’. The ‘gaze’ is a term that describes how we engage with visual media. Mulvey posits that there are three types of cinematic gaze to be considered in mainstream film; that of the characters, that of the camera and that of the audience. She explores the idea that the gaze is always male; a theory

Ever since the advent of celluloid films, horror movies have always held a fascination for viewers. Just why do people pay good money to be scared out of their wits? Apart from its entertainment value, the horror movie satisfies certain primordial needs in man. Through the horror movies, one is able to come to grips with one's personal demons, fear of death and other irrational phobias and in the process achieve a catharsis. Far from being morbid, such movies actually affirm life for the movie-goer, for he is able to emerge from the dark into the light, both literally and figuratively, having explored the world beyond our normal perception as well as the deep recesses of the human soul and say, "It's good to be alive."

Finally, after a hard-working day, what can be more satisfying than watching films and concentrating with amusement on the plots? Dancing, Swimming requires a specific time to be followed. After getting very much tired I basically like to watch movies or watch Television. It is an excellent medium for mass education & recreation. We enjoy drama, sports, events, news etc and utilize our time efficiently.

All good movies must have three qualities. The first quality a good movie must have is believable characters that we care about. The second quality of a good movie is a well written plot. Third, the movie must have a universal theme. The movie “Taken” was directed by Pierre Morrel and written by Luc Besson and Robert Kamen. In “Taken” Liam Neeson plays a retired CIA agent by the name of Brian Mills. After retirement Bryan feels like he has to bond again with his daughter Kim who is played by Maggie Grace. Since Kim lives with her mother Mills isn’t always able to visit her. Once he is able though, he invites Kim to a dinner. Using the opportunity, Kim asks her father for permission to go to Paris. Once in Paris Kim and her friend Amanda gets kidnapped by sex traffickers. Amanda is played by Katie Cassidy and is a high school graduate that befriended Kim while she was still in high school. The cause of the kidnapping was mostly Amanda's fault since she was the one who gave away that they were staying alone. In a sequence of events Mills puts all his skills to use and is able to free Kim, but sadly doesn't find Amanda alive. With Kim freed, Bryan and Kim reunite and form a bond. In order to be considered a good movie “Taken” must have believable characters, a well written plot, and a universal theme.
