Cinema in our life

The movies are truly an art of our time. They were born in the 20th century and have greatly influenced our life since then.

Some people like serious feature films, others prefer amusing comedies, children adore science-fiction films, animated cartoons and adventure films. Everything can be done with the help of cinema. You can visit different countries, get acquainted with ancient and contemporary monuments of art, learn something new from different fields of knowledge. Today there are different points of view on cinema.

First of all cinema is considered to be an entertainment. Many people go to the pictures to relax and to enjoy themselves. There they can have a good laugh and forget their worries. From the other side cinema is the greatest thought-provoking art because it shows a human creature, his ideas and problems, helps to understand the life better. The success of the cinema can be easily explained because it has a lot of advantages.

For instance,
1) films can be seen in places where there are no theatres;
2) cinema is open to various experiments;
3) certain scenic effects (fires, horse races, etc.) can be created much better in films.

It’s necessary to tell you that the success of a film mainly depends on the film director. However, there are a lot of people without whom the film can’t be produced at all. They are a producer, a cameraman and, of course, actors who can change the film to better or to worse. The quality of the film depends very much on a capable director, a talented cast and an intelligent screenplay.

Unfortunately, the cinema now is not as popular as it used to be. It is losing its popularity in comparison with all the other arts. More and more people prefer staying at home and watching TV or video to visiting cinemas. But anyway the cinema is and will be one of the most important kinds of art.
