For some, the movies have always been a source of escape; a place to get away from ordinary life for a few moments or even a few hours. For others it’s mere entertainment; a way to get in a laugh or two, or even to inspire one’s own creativity. The film industry has long been a popular form of entertainment, now having existed for over a century. Although there many aspects to this industry, here we will mostly inform you about the earlier years of film, focusing on the individuals who influenced its beginning. |
The beauty of movies is that for a short time they allow us to slip into a world outside our own. Whether the film is fictional, based on a true story, or for sheer pleasure, we get to experience the lives of others through the “eye” of a lens. They’re visual stories that have the potential to tap into our souls, our deepest emotions, and can even change our lives and the way we live them. There is a connection made within the audience when in a theater. Even though there are few to no words spoken between each other, they’re all waiting to be captivated by the experience of the silver screen. |
