Movies allow us to feel different emotions; thrill, happiness, sadness, intensity, comfort, shock, nervous all these roller-coasters of emotions is why we love watching movies. They make us connect with fictional characters we’ve never met before, allow us to empathise with them while we watch them struggle, bounce back and then save the day. ‘’Movies are also a good way to change your current emotional state, if you feel down just put on a happy and cheerful animated movie to lighten your mood, or if you need a laugh just throw on an amusing comedy movie, films always manage to cheer us up and that’s another reason why we love them,” Lamees Yamin (10th grade) said. One of the best things about movies they allow us to escape reality for about 120 minutes, but it allows us to take a momentary break from life, and immerse ourselves into a different world on the big screen, whether it be a world full of talking toys, superheroes or even a zombie apocalypse, or maybe an alien invasion. you will be taken away from your seat and thrown into a cool and exciting movie world, unless you are watching an awful movie then you probably won’t bother trying to imagine yourself in that world. ‘’However if you are enjoying the movie it allows you to fantasize and imagine what you could do in that world or situation,” Yamin (10th grade) said. Not only do movies take you to magic places, they also provide a visual answer to many what if questions people might have such as what if we successfully built or What if I had superpowers or What if a zombie apocalypse occurred. They allow you to watch situations you’ve never been in and let you observe how different people respond to the situation.
