Can you get on a DeLorean and go back to the future? Can you be the mafia don and dance with your daughter at her wedding? Can you be a visitor to a Jurassic Park filled with extinct dinosaurs? CINEPHILES! You know the answers. And for the nincompoops who are wondering what the fuss is all about, you are ordered to watch these three masterpieces: BACK TO THE FUTURE, THE GODFATHER, and JURASSIC PARK by the authority vested in me by the state of Cinewood before proceeding further. Pause. Now, I pronounce you to be a Cinephile. You may proceed with the article now.
Once upon a time in Hollywood, the humble beginnings of filmmaking can be traced to the sheer purpose of capturing various emotions on a screen. But the tables turned when films entered the jaws of business.
The tide turned, and when we hear about the budgets of some Hollywood films, we are left awestruck. The question is, why invest that kind of money in making a film when the socio-economic conditions of humans are far worse than they should be? Frankly, the answer to this is a catch-22. Now, to quote myself, "To feel alive in others’ stories, we watch cinema, and cinema is the best medium to experience others’ stories."
With time and tide, cinema donned a lot of opinions, and people perceived it in their very own ways. And whichever film captured the applause of many people (or even critics) was classified as a CLASSIC, and those worthy of being classics but that went undercover were classified as UNDERRATED. But whatever category a film fits into, each one is a success in its own unique way, and we should celebrate each one.
So, let's put on the suits like a mafia don, get on the DeLorean, and go back to the future from Jurassic Park. What do you say? And I ain't leaving you without homework. It's simple—just watch a movie of your liking, one that evoked a feeling, whatever the feeling may be. Just watch it and chill out, guys.
