When it comes to movies it's new to the scene, as far as entertainment goes. It's close cousin the book has existed for centuries. The big defining factor has been narration. The book feels need to give off much more narration, and so has cinema's younger and much slower brother, radio dramatization. Although the back and white movies with no sound are anything but sleek, the movies we have now have are cutting edge, and better than anything radio could have hoped for.
The movie industry is now one of the biggest. They can now truly be considered art. From the early development of movies distinct genres have emerged. The horror movie captures its audience with the fear of the unknown, and the Romantic comedies win over the hearts of many a single woman.
The general purpose of movie is to entertain you. What kind of movies you see may not define you, but they are good indicators of who you already are. Personally, I like horror movies: from the almost comical "Godzilla King of the Monsters," to the disturbing " 28 Days Later."
Today we see an increasing number of books being made into movies. Doesn't this show that really the movie is the close cousin to books?
I'd like to take a look at movies. Not in the sense of what I liked, or disliked about them, but what I took away from them.
I want to take a taste of a lot of different things. As much as big producers may make a lot of very good things: there's something charming , and almost mesmerizing about the independent film. Like the big industries that do a lot of movies, purely for the purpose of making money, they have as much of a potential to do poorly. Even so, they do it in a different way.
There's something to be said for each genre's value. I don't think they're as intrinsic as some may think, but they can be grasped, and understood in a single genres language.
Movies are powerful. They are this generation's language. Whether they realize they speak it or not: they are fluent. They understand it better than any other time, and simply because they were born into it.

You have a big font shift here and it's not necessary--how about shifting back to that smaller font for all your posts? Consistency is a virtue in a blog.
ReplyDeleteYou mention producers here, and I think their role in movie making can be a bit murky. Can you research what producers do and analyze their importance to the industry? And are movies this generation's language? I haven't gone to a movie in at least a year. I used to when I was a kid, so maybe it's the younger person's outlet? How does this generation "understand 'it' better than any other time"? I would like more on this.
Yes movies are a form of art like books are!I liked a lot of what you said on here for example you said "What kind of movies you see may not define you, but they are good indicators of who you already are".Interesting.
ReplyDeleteI liked that you said that movies are a a language that everyone are fluent in but I do disagree that you excluded other generations.I know that movies been around for the longest time and I know it was a major influende then as well in a big way.
The font is too big.
