Since the first one was shown in France, Films have played
an important role in the entertainment industry today. In the past, movies
could only be seen in cinemas, and thanks to it, this facility has also grown
up as a profitable business in the world. However, with the appearance of
portable electronic devices such as smartphones or tablets, we can watch
various genres of movies provided by video service companies such as Netflix. Due
to this, some people claim that the theatre is now in crisis because there is
no reason to visit cinemas to watch movies and others said that electronic
devices are not a threat to cinemas. In this essay, I will discuss both opinions
and explain my opinion.
The strong points of electronic devices are accessibility
and convenience from anywhere and anytime. Today, people are very busy and most
of them cannot afford to take the time for going to cinemas. Moreover, if they
visit the facilities on weekend, it is possible that the places are already crowded
and it makes exhausted them. However, with help from the Internet, portable
devices offer people to watch films anywhere and anytime they are situated now.
Besides, major companies such as Netflix or Disney offered their original films
via Internet or TV and they provide old films. Eventually, these changes make
people not feel the need for cinemas.
On the flip
side, the cinemas are equipped with high technology machines and sound systems
which can make the people more engaged and concentrated on the movie. For example,
when are watching a horror movie, the cinemas dramatically play a dark and
drear atmosphere. Besides, the customers have a chance for special gifts. This
is because the film industry and cinemas prepare events such as meeting with
movie stars at the premiere or special goods about the movie for visiting customers.
The special events remain precious memories and this is how to enjoy movies
externally. Therefore, this can only be experienced in cinema unique advantage
which can enjoy inside and outside of films that are not available on
electronic devices.
In my
personal opinion is that I support watching on electronic devices. Due to Covid
19, the cinemas are now potential contagion sites. Moreover, on the financial
side, watching via devices is more cheaper than going to cinemas. |
