Author's Note: This is a piece that I wrote based off on me going to the movies at least three times this winter break. My purpose for writing this piece is to wonder about the reasons for why movies are created, and the purpose they have to viewers. I would like feedback on if I was able to analyze the motives of the making of movies. Thank you!

When you think of an escape, what's the primary idea that pops into your mind? For me, it's going to the movies. For about ten dollars, you can enter into a whole other world where everything is different. Whether it's comedy or romance, drama or action, life is placed on hold for a few hours as a unfamiliar one takes its place. In this exciting original world, everything  holds a chance for a fresh experience. People living in today's world need that in their lives. Since there is so much turmoil and uncertainty, a couple of blissful hours of escape and ignorance is easily welcomed, gratefully. If there wasn't a cinema for our population to flee to, stress would accumulate quickly, and there would be no chance of release. Thankfully, there is that method of escape.

  1. I really loved the way you analyzed how movies were a break from reality, and an escape. I never thought of movies that way (just books, 'cause I'm a nerd) but it's a really neat perspective.
