Movies. Music. Books. Three forms of entertainment and three things that help to bring people from all walks of life together. The beauty in the art of film, music, and books is something that is recognized across the world. I believe entertainment composes our world. Entertainment serves as a distraction to people and the realities of everyday life. Entertainment is universal which is one of the reasons that it composes our world. I have been lucky enough to be able to see these three elements bring people of all different cultures and backgrounds together. Working at a movie theater, I am really able to see how movies are important in the lives of many people. To see the emotions evoked from these films is something really amazing. I think the best example of how movies compose our world is what I saw at a movie premiere a …show more content…

They unite people on large and small scales around the world. For instance, on a small scale might be a simple book club where friends gather to discuss the journey they went on through their book. On a large scale it could be a social media post where people from different countries comment their thoughts and opinions on a novel. The largest example of how a book can strengthen the bond between humans all over the world is the Bible. Though I am not religious myself, I acknowledge the importance of the Bible not only in the United States but in other countries around the world. Even for people who do not use the Bible in their worship have similar books or spiritual texts. Books, similar to music, can be interpreted differently by every individual person who reads them. People’s personal experiences cause them to perceive things in different ways but each interpretation is what helps to compose our world. People are able to discuss their opinions and feelings which allows us to learn more about our friends, family, and people we just

  • The Importance Of Music In The Film Industry

    1861 Words  | 4 Pages

    Images themselves are not enough to carry enough the full information from the plot of a movie. Sound and music add meaning to the story, and enhance the viewers’ enjoyment from the film. The use of sound and music in films has benefited the film industry greatly, as it was one of the revolutionary stepping stones where film became more than an art form, and transcended into a global business. They carry the narrative from one scene to the other, until the very end of the movie; in the mean time helping editors to edit the film seamlessly, allowing the audience to lose themselves in the plot and become a part of it. It is proven that music affects the audience members’ perception of the plot, by subtly working on the unconscious mind and reflecting emotions, basically by telling the viewer how to feel about a certain scene, action, or character.

    The power of film is immense in modern American culture. The symbols and identity’s created in these films has proven to possess a lasting impact shaping in new cultures. Film has not failed to accomplish this using the motorcycle. Although a controversial image the motorcycle possesses a strong identity of freedom and brotherhood creating an individual counterculture. The freedom represented by the motorcycle contradicts previous connotations and transforms our definition of freedom. The motorcycle also provides a cultural identity of rebellion and brotherhood. Film has contributed greatly to creation of the motorcycle identity and has not failed to capitalize on the power symbolism the motorcycle represents. In many cases film created the motorcycle image we think of today.

    Films are able to draw spectators towards the film as they are able to engage with certain elements featured in the film. Such elements include relating to the character and their lives and relating to props and settings presented in the mise en scene. If a spectator was to see a movie that contains elements he or she is able to relate to, that same person would engage with the film even more thus enhancing the experience of such viewers. Personally, my experience of films elevates when I can relate to some of the elements that emulate reality. There are several versions of art that emulate reality in their pieces (examples include paintings, theatre, literature,

  • The Limitations of Societal Growth Established by Censorship in Films

    1278 Words  | 3 Pages

    Censorship involves the restriction of material that the government believes may be harmful to society. However, censorship in film is controversial because it can either create safe boundaries for movies or hinder the film industry’s freedom. Those who support censorship believe that it prohibits unnecessarily explicit content from being freely shown in films. Those who are against censorship believe that censorship conflicts with constitutional freedom and can be used as a tool for manipulation. Although, both sides of the argument have valid points, censorship should not apply to films at any extent because it impedes societal progress.

  • Woody Allen's Influence On Film

    When I was still in high school, I took a class that I was very curious about. That class was called “Media Arts”, and it was focused, not only on learning about the movements some of the greatest films have had an impact across the globe, but also learned how to make movies. This really inspired me to pursue film in college. As a college student majoring in theatre while focusing on film, I was exposed to many filmmakers from different countries and different backgrounds, telling their stories from their own perspective. As a person that pursues his dreams of being a screenwriter, a director, and an actor, one of the filmmakers that has had an influence on me has been Woody Allen.

  • The Culture of Moviegoers

    2009 Words  | 5 Pages

    Going to the movies is probably one of the most enjoyable pastimes throughout the world. From western society to the Asian countries, watching movies is pleasant for nearly anybody. I currently work at the local cinema. Therefore I have decided to study the culture of moviegoers. I looked at many different aspects within the past months. I took time for myself in small, little, breaks to study and document the actions of the people. From their attitudes entering and leaving the cinemas, to the way they behaved and even the way they clothed themselves. I will be going into the field with a general question in mind of what I wish to learn. “How do individuals respond to each other in a moving going experience?” I will also look into how families communicate to each other compared to how a group of friends interact. In contrast to that outsider or etic outlook at our moviegoers, I will take an insider or emic perspective of the site and actually go out on my days off work and watch a movie portraying an actual moviegoer while no one in this culture within Stars will suspect a thing.

  • The Important Role of Music in Society

    447 Words  | 1 Pages

    Also, music plays an important role in culture by being entertaining. Let's face it; people listen to music because it's exciting! It can affect a person's thoughts and feelings towards a particular subject, but not ultimately change their mind, which is what makes it so pleasurable. What else would put life in the world if music didn't? Music provides background music for almost everything in a person's everyday life. Try to imagine what television would be like without music. There would be no catchy jingles to stupid commercials that would end up getting stuck in your head for days and no theme songs to your favorite shows. Even a movie without sound would make you not want to watch it. Whether you think so or not, a soundtrack to a movie makes a person emote to the screenplay more- it makes you feel what the actors are feeling. That is what makes it so entertaining! If there were no songs to a movie, you might as well just not watch it at all. And what about a cell phone? How would you know when to pick up your phone if you didn't hear it ring your favorite song? Hearing that ring tone on a phone provides a small source of entertainment, but also serves a very important purpose.

  • Divine Revelation Reflection

    1393 Words  | 3 Pages

    The bible is what helps keeps our faith alive as it contains a rich amount of history that tells us of God’s revelation and the ways how our faith works. Although the bible contains numerous works of different people, it is still a work of God that helps our faith remain constant and grow, as everything written was under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. In some way, I was able to understand the value also of the other books, as before I did not really take interest of the other books included bible, aside from the likes of the Gospels, Genesis, Exodus, Psalms, and Proverbs. Nevertheless, I realized that the books are all part of the bible as each has a purpose to serve and stands as a testament to the infidelity of humanity, and of God’s unfailing love for
