Lecture Response to Movies



      From the start, movies are and will always be a main form of entertainment. Where else can you sit in a dark room with your friends or family eating fresh popcorn in front of a massive screen with great audio? I feel that this lecture captured the reasoning behind the importance of movies. Starting with one of the first movies featuring the moving train, people recognized the shock factor that movies provide. The movie theater industry continues to thrive because it delivers that immersive experience you can’t receive through Hulu or Netflix. In addition, when Mr. Miller said the cultural significance of wanting to be first played a role in the importance of movie theaters, I could relate right away. My dad and I have a tradition of watching “The Hunger Games” movies together right when they come out. As a result of the invention of the television, movies are dwindling in ticket sales and were forced to demassify. Movies competed with television by color, 3D, stereo, more action, and introducing adult topics. However, these aspects are great, but I believe movie theaters would have survived just fine without because nothing can replace the shared immersive experience with friends, family, or just by yourself.
