Evolution of cinema over the years

Motion pictures have been through a stunning evolution over decades. The very first motion pictures dates back to 1888, Louis Le Prince used a motion picture camera to produce the movie. Fast forward 132 years now streaming services such as Netflix, Prime, Hulu, Apple Tv producing motion pictures which we could watch on tv, laptop, tablets and yes even phones. Netflix is sort of the pioneer of streaming productions. Now we can stream practically almost anywhere.

Do you remember which movies you loved the most growing up? Maybe you still love them just as much. In an essence watching the movies you loved as kids are a bridge to the memory lane. For me it’s Home Alone (1 and 2), Goonies, Beverly Hills Cop, Die Hard (1, 2 and 3). They remind me of a chapter of my life I get to fondly treasure. It could also be reminders of many fantastic events of life’s journeys. Maybe the first movie you watched with the love of your life, you could watch over and over. Or it could be a movie that cheers you up when feeling down, you feel regrouped. Movies that are part of the family holiday seasons. You get the idea.

Netflix, Hulu, Prime, Max and other streaming services gave us an outlet in 2020 to be entertained during a pandemic lock down and social distancing. Yes the theater industries took it in the chin. However streaming services became the primary option to watch movies and stay distracted.

Family night, date, going to the movies have been a huge part of our social construct. We are fascinated by movies. Fiction or non-fiction, there is a certain allure to the cinema.

Telling a story

Movies tell stories, and characters in the stories sometimes relatable. A class clown, or a jerk boss, an inspiring coach, or clueless teenager. These characters on the big screen capture emotions which seldom we could relate to. Sometimes movies inspire us because they are based on true stories. Sometimes even fictions make us feel joy, sadness or optimism.

Sometimes movies give us a character we need in life. Other times it’s a feeling, or just a break to feel recharged.

A humorous exchange, an intense car chase, a fiery speech and so much more could be a takeaway from great movies. The stories often make us feel something that might be missing from our lives.

Let’s take love and romance for instance. Even subconsciously we think about movies when it comes to love and romance. And god knows Hollywood gave us a plethora of selections. Same goes for inspiration, pain, loss, triumph and so on.

Streaming

During the “stay at home” mandate streaming has become a huge part of passing time. Though Netflix pioneered online streaming now more companies are taking part in this pivotal move of online streaming. HBO Max, Prime, Hulu and more later followed this trend.

Online streaming is almost the new mainstream for watching movies. VHS, DVDs, Blue Ray are obsolete or almost obsolete.
