Movies... What's the Point?

Have you ever seen a new movie and thought, "I know how this will end"?

I am here to tell you that this will never change. Unless somebody makes a movie ends with everyone dying or tortured, you will mostly be able to predict the end.

I would like to mention a man who actually took the time to find out and record the different stages of any type of movie, Joseph Campbell. He even wrote a book on it called A Hero With A Thousand Faces. This book depicts every similarity that movies and stories can have. After taking a look at this model, I have a pretty good idea as to how to predict a movie’s end.

But I know that everyone has a movie that defies the rule. A movie that they think is the best, most well made motion picture out there. We all have our favorites that have us on our toes the entire time. It may be a love story or James Bond, but what ever movie it is, there is some original quality that makes it, well... perfect.

If you have taken a look at the movies that are currently in theaters, there is not one G rated, kid friendly movie. All the movies that are out are full of action, guns, and gore which is perfect if you love that kind of stuff but not if you are looking for something to do as a family. Plus, most of the movies out are about some retake or combination of movies that already exist.


Why do people watch movies in the first place? So they can forget about their life and escape to another world? I have a great idea. Why not read a book...

I found this quite amusing.
