So Why Do We Watch Movies?

Excellent question Nick! You are so insightful! People watch movies for a variety of reasons. It can be for the purpose of hearty laughter, dramatic situations, thrilling action, soppy tales of love and loss, or trying to scare yourself so much you decide not to sleep. Whatever the reason, movies fulfill something inside of all of us that we cannot immediately fill in our lives. Is it possible I will eventually scour the land searching for the last Twinkie in an endless zombie apocalypse? Of course! But am I doing that right now? No! Hence, I go to my local theater to transcend reality.

Movies are insightful and persuasive. They possess the power to control our emotions and change our views. Powerful movies express a characteristic that we all desire and wish to obtain. A movie can even change the world. We watch movies not simply for entertainment, but for a deep-seeded need for imagination in life. They keep our ideas fresh and our minds young.

And now, I bid you a fond farewell. This blog has been a fantastic form of media to express my personal beliefs. Now, however, I must leave this topic behind and move onto other interests. I hope that my movie-going crowd will stay with me. You are certainly welcome on the journey. Each day is but a step on the road of life, and I intend to keep walking. And so, to quote the great Jim Carrey from "The Truman Show", " Good morning, and in case I don't see ya, good afternoon, good evening, and good night!"
