Movies, motion pictures, pictures, cinema, or simply films, it doesn’t matter what name you use for them, for they still reach into our lives. They entertain us in many ways, sometimes they make us laugh, occasionally they scare us and frequently they move us in some form or way. It doesn’t really matter if they scare, make us cry, inspire or change our emotions in some other way, they still reach out from the screen and touch our very lives, it’s in that way they have influence on how or what we actually feel.
