What is cinema? What is so amazing about watching humans like us on a screen portraying make believe or retelling stories? The magic of the movies is not simple, but would be defined as subjective. What movie you love might be despised by a stranger. But the magic is still there. “We accept the love we think we deserve”. The magic of the movies brings love, light and laughter into our hearts as we embark on a journey through life every time we sit down with a bowl of popcorn and watch a film. Can we make society know they deserve more than the love they watch on the screen? Can we paint pictures of laughter and light to be enjoyed by the younger generations? The magic of the movies emasculates and feminizes the beauty seen through the human eye. The magic of the movies makes his skin seem flawless and her waist thinner. But the magic of the movies reminds us we are more than what we observe, and we are brighter than happiness shot through a camera lens. The truth is we cannot make the cinema seem realer than our everyday lives, but that is what makes the movies magical. As we fight our demons and push through hell we remind ourselves that our struggle is real, and not everybody is granted a happily ever after. The magic of the movies can help us escape from a tougher time, but at the same time reminds us to not rely on a fantasy.
So what is cinema? It cannot be defined by a single sentence. It might possibly never be defined at all.
All we know is the magic, the magic of the movies
