Hello!!
Yesterday for the first time in a long time I
went to the cinema and, to be honest, I was surprised by the very small
attendance in the hall. I have to admit that I am a huge fan of cinema,
I love movies and TV series. And unfortunately I often devote too much time and
attention to them. But in the end you also need to have your own ways to spend
a lazy afternoon and relieve college stress, so maybe it isn’t so bad. But to
tell the truth I am more curious about where people watch movies. I have to
admit that although I love watching movies on the big screen, I often lack the
time and obviously money. That's why I choose much cheaper and more convenient
options which is the Internet, and more specifically known platforms such as
Netflix or HBO. And after yesterday’s experience I really doubt that I´m the
only one in it.
Of course this is not something I'm proud of. I
think that at the time, when the Internet didn't have such a wide range and
wasn’t so widespread, every trip to the cinema was a truly great event, which
was awaited for days and which was remembered for a long time. At this times
the films were created with more attention, and their plot was so interesting
and intriguing that the viewer were returning to it in his thoughts many times
after the screening.
Nowadays, when everything is within reach, and
the Internet and television are full of content without expression and a deeper
meaning, you have to really make an effort to find something what would be
really worth attention. The sad truth is that most of us don't want to spend
our time selecting what they serve on television. Everybody usually
chooses entertainment which is easy and
doesn't require concentration.
As far as I'm concerned, I'd rather go back to
the times when movies were something special and an unusual way to spend a
weekend evening. It’s obvious that when you have something in abundance or even
too much, you stop appreciating it and it ceases to give you joy. That's why it
may be better to turn off the TV and computer and at that time reach for a good
book, and leave watching movies for special occasions and spend great time in
the cinema with family or friends
