Movies

Almost everybody loves going to the movies. Watching movies in a comfortable cineplex have become a popular choice of pastime for many of us nowadays. What makes the movie such a desired activity? I believe the secret lies in the magic of the silver screen: action, romance, comedy, tragedy and so on.
Sometimes, we will wonder how movies can be so captivating. They are realistic and agreeable; logical but sometimes can make no sense at all; coldly harsh yet compassionate at other times. Whatever the reason is, we just cannot help but to return to the cozy dark cinema and enjoy another movie.
Creating a movie is a big and laborious production. Many people are involved in the making of a movie. For instead, there are actors and actresses, a producer, a director, a writer, an editor and many more. This makes me appreciate a movie even more.
When we are enjoying a movie, we allow ourselves to immerse in the story of the movie. The visual and audio stimulation bombard our senses, making our imagination go wild. We can even imagine ourselves as one of the characters in the movie and it is certainly an intense feeling to have. In other words, watching movies is like an escape from reality. It is a healthy pastime that only costs a few ringgit. What more can we ask for?
