Motion Pictures
Motion pictures – also called movies, films, or the cinema – are one of the most popular forms of
entertainment. They enable people to enter an imaginary world for a short period of time. Millions of people
around the world go to the movies every day. However, movies should not be seen only as a form of
entertainment. Movies are also considered a major art form, and those who make motion pictures take great
pride in their creative work. Like artists who express themselves by painting, moviemakers express their ideas
by making movies. The cost of creating a movie that is an art as well as a business is generally greater than
the money needed to create any other work of art like a piece of music or a painting. Although the movies only
date back to the late 1800s, the motion-picture industry is now a gigantic one. A good movie can cost several
million dollars and require the skills of hundreds of workers and a few years of hard work before it is
completed.
