Movies

  Our class discussion on movies was perhaps the most interesting because it did engage the whole class. All of us could relate to what Mr. Miller talked about, such as the overwhelming experience of a movie theater. You know, when you wait in line on premiere night of the latest blockbuster and get a front row seat in a leather movie theater chair. The high quality sound and social outing with friends  make for a great time. These reasons (and more) are why movies are still a multibillion-dollar industry.

  It was riveting to realize the impact of movies on our every day culture. How do your favorite movies or movie franchises impact your daily life? It's more than an obsession. Our reception of everything from vulgarity to homosexuals has been broadened by cinematic works. Although the movie industry may be challenged by Netflix, it will continue to prevail due to the flexibility of itself. Conglomeration affects companies by bonding them into mass movie producers. Oftentimes, a production may be too taboo for a television company to pick up, but movie companies are ecstatic to take risks and make money. This is why it was so interesting to me to learn about the business behind something so important in our everyday lives.
