The Positive Emotional Appeal Of Film Entertainment

By Mark Gilliam

Motion pictures are most likely the number one preferred form of entertainment in the world. The fact is that motion pictures are low-priced, generally beloved and they have the power to sway us emotionally. When a motion picture is based on genuine events we learn from the tribulations of another person, and most of the time fictional movies influence us the same way.

The many different genres of films appeal to dissimilar people. There are always those who love a great horror movie and dislike a good chick flick but usually there are some films that we like and others that we loathe no matter the genre. The good thing about the movie entertainment business is that they always offer up something that appeals to everyone.

Motion pictures have been around for decades but it has only been in the past 30 years that we have been able to view motion pictures at home. There are millions and millions of videos/DVD's etc. purchased and rented in America every month but now it can be even more simple because it is now possible to download movies instantly to your computer right from your house.

We love to watch movies and the truth is that movies can be very constructive for our lives. Viewing a excellent movie permits us to let go and escape our day after day troubles, anxieties and worries, while we get caught up in the lives and situations of the characters in the film.

Films can also educate us. True stories such as the interesting tale of Erin Brockovich, who was excellently portrayed by Julia Roberts in the film of the same name or documentaries such as Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth", educate us about critical political and social truths about the world we live in.

History is also many times portrayed in the movies. One of the most popular movies of all times actually teaches us a lot about an important part of American history. "Gone With The Wind" seems like a love story about Rhett Butler and Scarlett O'Hara but it really teaches us quite a bit about the Civil War and that time in our history.

So the next time you want to sit down and take pleasure in a movie recognize that you are doing yourself a favor. You can enjoy yourself in some calm downtime while allowing yourself a much-needed escape. Take some time away from your life and troubles and submerge yourself in someone else's story while you are learning about the world. It is really no surprise that films are almost everybody's most wanted source of entertainment.

Now you can make it effortless for yourself. Find a high-quality reputable movie download service and begin downloading the movies you want to see right at home. It will do you good! - 16887
