movie

A movie is a type of visual art that shows a story. It can make people laugh or cry, but it also can be scary. It can tell a true story, or it can be made up. A movie can be shown in a theater, on TV, or on the Internet. People who make movies are called actors or directors. The person who watches a movie is called the audience.

A good movie is a film that holds the attention of its audience and leaves them thinking about it after it’s over. It has a plot that creates suspense and has a happy ending (where everything is figured out or fixed). Some movies are about real events, while others are imaginary stories. Most movies are made up of scenes that are put together to make a story. Some scenes are animated, and some are filmed live.

The main purpose of a movie is to entertain people. There are many types of movies, but the most popular ones are comedies, romances, dramas, and thrillers. Thrillers are about mystery or strange events and they usually have a lot of twists in the plot (surprises). Romances and dramas are about people’s problems. They can be about love, marriage, family, and work. Mostly these movies have a lot of emotions, so the audience may get angry or cry while they are watching them.

Blockbusters are movies that are very popular and make a lot of money. They are often based on books or other stories and have a lot of action. These movies are screened in a lot of theaters and have big advertising campaigns to let people know about them.

An independent movie is a movie that is made by a small group of people or even just one person. It is usually a low budget film, but it can be very successful. For example, the movie The Blair Witch Project cost only about $60,000, but it made $200 million in ticket and DVD sales. These films are often very unusual and can have a cult following.

The movie business is a very competitive industry. There are always new movies being released. Many of them are not very good, but some of them are. A movie can be a comedy, a romance, a drama, a thriller, or a tragedy. Some movies are about history or famous people. Others are about the future or space. Some are about war or politics.

A movie can be about any kind of topic that interests people. It can be about history, science fiction, sports, or music. A good movie will have a great plot and lots of action. It will also have great acting and beautiful scenery. It should also be funny or make people cry. Some movies are so good that they become cultural touchstones. They define a generation or change the way people think about things. A good example of this is Mike Nichols’ free-flowing comedy of alienation, which elevated Dustin Hoffman’s halting, prickly-pear neurotic charm into a culture hero.
