The cinema, one of the largest industry of entertainment which lures masses of people around the world, may be loosing is magical power to gather viewers, though, favoring economic profit rather than quality.
The first text makes reference to the believe that people go to the cinema to make sense of their routine lifes and in doing so movies can have a greater effect on their attitudes or behaviour. While it is true that films themes deal with moral issues such us war, prejudice or poverty, I think that there is a dipper influenced in peoples life when watching a well documented with real facts story and not fictional. It is true that technological advances have created images and seems, as well as spectacular photography that no one would thought it possible and I personally think that these changes are what makes movies more vivid and fascinating to go and see. Great actors bring to life stories to which one can easily relate to, that is magic.
The second text has a more scheptical view of this industry. Profit versus quality. Films have lost their touch. Second parts were never good, predictable stories, childish comedies. I take this second text view as one coming from someone who has lost faith on the movies. There is always been good and bad films, if not what would the critics would work on? I must admit that on hearing of a new coming picture by a well known director spectations run high and the results may be disappointing.
Nowdays people tend to read the film critics before going to see a film and, although the price is dear they will continue to enjoy the popcorn while going to the pictures.
