Introduction-Dear+Reader

Dear Reader,

Every person has experienced a movie that changed their perspective on life. A moment that stuck with them, some image that made them laugh, or cry or smile. Something that made them angry, motivated. There is one moment from a film if not many, that just stick to us in a way. For a reason that we are barely able to grasp, movies have been pretty much the main form of entertainment for a long period of time. The cinema is a place where magic happens, for real. You see this amazing story that seems so like life and real and amazing play out in front of you. You are just whisked away into magic. There is a reason that people go to the movies. There is a reason people are so intrigued by them and the people who are in them. People have been intrigued by this for so many years and we continue to be intrigued by it. Movies have been this huge part of a persons life for a long time. People remember that one moment from a film or that one film that they love. Entertainment is a big part of the world. People like to be entertained. Movies being a huge part of entertainment allow this to happen. Movies are something that can bring people together and be entertained.

I can’t really put a finger on it, but movies are in a way magical. That is why I chose to do my Multi genre research project on films and the history of them.

Doing my research I realized that not only in other areas of life but in films taking the road not taken is so important and relevant. These actors, performers , directors, and writers etc. that you may of heard of have taken the road not taken. When these films come out and the seem like something like you have never seen before- the people who made those took the road not taken. Films became the way they are now because of the road not taken. Being original and bold is important. That is the only way you will stand out from others. As Robert frost said in the last line of his poem, “And I, I took the road less traveled by and that has made all the difference”.

Movies are a way for people to come together, to learn, to get insight, to laugh, to cry , to smile, to feel emotions, to relate to something , to escape from life and to be in awe. That is what makes them magical, and in my project I wanted to capture some of that magic. I wanted people to feel the things that they feel watching or experiencing movies.

I really hope you enjoy my project.
