My Love For The Silver Screen
My fondest childhood memory was when my dad introduced me to the original Star Wars trilogy. This is where my passionate love for film began. As a kid, I recall being touched and blown away by numerous movies such as: Star Wars, Toy Story, Indiana Jones, Back to the Future, and Jurassic Park. I would always get excited when my parents would take my brother and me to the local theatre. I have been watching movies for as long as I can remember, and I can honestly say that it is my favorite pastime. Some people may ask how one can get so overly attached and crazy about movies? For me, movies help myself escape from life by becoming immersed into the storyline through the characters. For hours I can switch off my brain and get captivated into a story. Movies make me think and dream. I sometimes feel like …show more content…

Each of these film genres has affected me in a different way. I find crime and historical dramas to be more cultivating, impactful, and serious. With horror and action, they tend to make my heart race and give me more of an adrenaline rush. Sci-fi and fantasy tend to be more visually appealing, while at the same time making you dream and think more creatively. Movies are like slices of life that we are able to look at and analyze. The best ones allow us to look at ourselves in a way that we didn’t know was possible. Another factor I love about films is the storytelling, which is the basic foundation of a movie. The thought of experiencing what the characters in a film think and feel are intriguing to me. Movies are the modern campfires where we gather around to tell and hear stories. If there is ever an apocalypse, years later survivors will gather around fires and tell stories like, “A long time ago, in a galaxy far far

  • The Big Sleep: Movie vs. Novel

    1588 Words  | 4 Pages

    Film and literature are two media forms that are so closely related, that we often forget there is a distinction between them. We often just view the movie as an extension of the book because most movies are based on novels or short stories. Because we are accustomed to this sequence of production, first the novel, then the motion picture, we often find ourselves making value judgments about a movie, based upon our feelings on the novel. It is this overlapping of the creative processes that prevents us from seeing movies as distinct and separate art forms from the novels they are based on.

  • The Correlation Between Film and Dreams

    In conclusion, Domhoff states that “…it needs to be stressed that there is little to no systematic evidence that dreams make use of the vast system of figurative thought available in waking life…” (13). It is at this point where he and I part ways. Though there has been no direct scientific study done, I would argue that movies are in fact dreams that make use of “the vast system of figurative thought available in waking life”. Through the expressions of directors and film makers like Rodriguez, a vast array of our collective psyche is expressed and exposed. Each moment of surprise, lust, joy, et cetera, is capable of being captured in our two hour filmic experiences. Film is where our reality meets fantasy and our dreams become corporeal art

  • Why Do People Watch Movies?

    The answer is beautifully summarized by Academy Award winner actor Jack Nicholsen, in one of his speech during Oscar award ceremony, “… they entertain us; they offer hopes (and) give traumas; they take us places, we never been, just even for few moments; they can take us away, when we want to get away; Movies inspire us; they challenge us and despite our differences, they are (the) common link to humanity, in all of us.” In my opinion, this statement is the true reflection of the reason, why people love to watch movies.
