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.
