The Power of Movies

'Let's watch a movie!'. Yes, this sentence brightens up the minds of most people. Isn't it amazing that a screen with some fabulous content makes us feel happy, relaxed and excited? It started from the mind blowing 'Roundhay Garden Scene', the first ever motion picture in the world. Even the black & white scenes of olden days' movies gave out emotions, adventure, humor and enthusiasm. People liked the sensation of being captivated into the scenario of a movie. 

Movies have the robustness to influence the hearts of us. A movie brings everyone together. The fun part is that this togetherness is both physical and mental. People get together to watch their favorite genre, actor or whatever about a movie, with zest and elation in their minds. Also, emotional attachment of people tends to improve with the impact of movies! Situations expressed in movies tell viewers to understand the importance of bonds, skills, deeds and thoughts. A movie is some moving pictures- but when pictures move, they create magic beyond our capability to perceive. 

Nowadays, movies have become a paramount part of a person's life. Initially, the television was the popular source viewers relied upon to watch a movie. Then came so many others like mobile phones, tablets, computers, portable computers etc. Theatre or the movies is a place where movie lovers gather for some great moments of their lives. Well, due to the pandemic, things have changed. But one thing all are sure about is that, during the covid-19 time of isolation, lockdown, panic and quarantine, one of the best things that kept people calm is, movies. Nevertheless, we can never equate the feeling of watching a movie on a big screen with a powerful outcome of sound and scenes, and watching the same on a device in a personal space!

Charlie Chaplin movies showed viewers a different experience in that era. Wit was well portrayed in Chaplin movies. Let it be those times or now, movies tend to be awesome when it comes to expressing emotions. James Cameron not only gifted us Jack and Rose through Titanic, but a whole good movie with amazing music of love. Christopher Nolan gave us Inception where our brains attended a workshop, James Wan made us shiver with fear through The Conjuring and what not, kids have their Walt Disney with so many memorable characters for even grown-ups! 

Movie scenes lure viewers to an extent that a technically well-made collection of scenes or maybe a trailer, can make them jounce with an urge to watch the whole movie. I wrote this because I personally am a movie lover, but also that a movie is the best media to communicate ideas. 'Watching movies' is apt to be taken as a hobby or passion. Good ones give us only good effects! 2021 is on it's way. Let's see how many great visual treats we are going to receive!
