Some have made people laugh and some have made them cry; but movies don’t just direct our emotions and twiddle our senses for pure entertainment purposes. The world of audio/visual communication wields the branch of cinematic milestones like an eagle and its wings. To stifle a beloved American pastime such as “a rainy afternoon at the movies” would be to hinder our abilities of growing both as individuals and as a society as a whole. The importance of our freedom of expression through film resounds just as loudly as our voices themselves.
In hopes to improve as individuals, we all must embrace the power and usefulness of the world of theatre and cinema. As technology advances, so does our insight into developing new methods for bringing dreams to life. With these advancements comes thousands of jobs and with those jobs comes money to be made. As a kinship between creativity and science ripens, the miracle of film can take flight. Once set for release a movie is given a precious gift of spreading its messages and ideas to all willing viewers across the globe. The beauty of playing a part in creating something that has the power to truly touch a person thousands of miles away can only be compared to experiencing a divine wind of empowerment that people thousands of years ago could hardly have even dreamt about. Between sharing pieces of ourselves with the world and receiving bits of others, we can all learn to open our minds to the ideas and information each of us has to share with the rest. Only through film can this bliss of cyclic education be as truly possible as it now most certainly is. When coupled with a dashing ability to express itself though cinema, individuality can sashay with the flair of Astaire.
Society grows with each empowered step it takes in the shoes of its freedom of speech. Movies provide an excellent medium for directing this particular necessity of society toward its goal of the exaltation of those confident enough to speak up. Not only through the nonfiction and documentary-style flicks does this hominal desire to address and share our emotions and experiences soar, but also from stunning examples of classical literature and fictional screenwriting can overwhelming ideals for a better society emerge and thrive. By presenting Americans with a place where varying opinions and autonomous tastes can coexist peacefully and beneficially we are presenting them with a world where it’s safe to broaden one’s horizons. Furthermore, cinema connects Americans together in more ways than just in general. For instance, movie-lovers nationwide have befriended those with similar likes and dislikes in movies as themselves. They are then inspired to take objective steps toward the web of a future spun by the very same threads that interlocking hands make. Together is the only way we will all make it to where we want to end up. But perhaps it is best left said by a certain, discreditable, famous American motion-picture producer, “We have created characters and animated them in the dimension of depth, revealing through them to our perturbed world that the things we have in common far outnumber and outweigh those that divide us.” (Walt Disney, www.justdisney.com).
The power to use the freedom of expression to our utmost advantage lies most fortunately within each of us. In the movies we watch and in the movies we dream, the hope for a stronger sense of self and of community exists. Never will Americans have to endure a pan-and-scan version of the world that their freedom of speech has set before them.
the story behind what provoked this cracks me up so bad
