One of my favorite activities that I like to do with my friends on friday nights is going to movies. I enjoy watching movies for various reasons. The strongest reason why is because I find it interesting to relate other people's lives that are shown off of the movies to mine. They are realistic, therefore understandable. Personally, I feel this kind of connection and enjoyment during these genres of movies: comedies, romantic comedies, drama, and family. As you would have noticed, these genres are more likely to amuse and entertain people than making people think. I definitely prefer movies in this category because I watch movies simply as a recreation.
My foremost reason to go to movies is to enjoy and have fun. I go to movies to let myself be relaxed by letting go of the real world than I live in temporarily. The movies that amuse and entertain me do the perfect role for that. They make me get into the movie world and forget about the real world that I am dealing with at least for the hour I am watching the movie. Whatever is going on in my life that bothers me and worries me, they disapper when I watch movies. I don't care about my own emotions but follow the emotions of the movie characters. I laugh with them, be sad with them, etc.
Again, I prefer the movies that just amuse and entertain me, but it doesn't mean that I am saying they are better than the movies that make us think. Honestly, I think the moveis that make us think and realize something are more important. Furthermore, I think they are more meaningful movies for audiences as well. However, the one that I prefer is that can entertain me because my whole purpose to watch movies again is to be entertained!
