The Magic of Film

Movies are so magical because they give the viewer two uncommon sensations, an escape from reality, but also a chance to connect with the stories and characters unfolding on the screen. It's almost like those watching a movie are in a new world, where the problems of yesterday are no longer relevant, and what emerges in its place is a reflection on personal character, triumph, and those little moments of connection with some aspect of what's in front of them. Personally, I find that movies are so special because they can disguise some of the hardest topics into a format that can reach millions, and keep them entertained. Unlike commercials or other infographics that try to send a message, movies are one of the few that can do it in a way that's non-invasive, and yet still have the greatest impact on its audience. In addition, I find it incredibly remarkable that movies can bring people from all different backgrounds together to connect on a shared idea, or at the least, spend time in the same room with differences aside.
