The Magic Of Movies

 Why are movies so magical?  Why are they special to you?

Movies are so magical because it is a universal language. Yes, not every film people will be able to understand and not ever film is in a persons desired language but if we take those elements out and go back to the beginning of film-making it was silent. It was silent and it was strictly driven by feeling and acting. Movies are a painting put into motion (hence, motion picture) its a painting that moves, paintings are a universal language as well that just by starring at it you will feel something and most of the time you will feel what the artist intended for you to feel, films are made with the intent to make you feel something. If someone can make you feel exactly what they wanted you to feel that is the magic of film. It's essentially casting a spell on you. Movies are special to me because they were my escape, I had a rough upbringing and I used movies as my escape I used them to put me in a world I wanted to be in vs the world I was in. Movies were the language I was first fluent in.
