Cinema - One valuable asset
The Cinema is one of the great wonder of this age. A part from the great pleasure it gives us as much
entertainment. Cinema gives us education of everything. Every movie film is the representation of some story.
The film companies from time to time produce historical pictures, and these pictures are of great assistance
to the history teacher. Some of the Shakespear's dramas and comedies have been filmed, and we thereby
gain a much better idea of the play than would be possible from a casual reading of it.
Most importance is the use of the film in the teaching of science and in history. There are educational film
companies which devote their time to the filming of the lives and habbits of animals, insects, fishes, germs and
numerous other forms of life. We can watch the opening and closing of flowers and leaves, and the growth of
grass and weeds. We can see development of fishes. All actions and movements are greatly magnified on the
screen. Such pictures are intensely interesting, and are a very great help in the cause of education.
Even the uneducated and illiterate section of the population could understand and appreciate a good film. Through
some films they came to know more about life in the cities. They got a chance to view some grand functions in
films. Hence the Cinema is the best mode of mass communication.
Change is the essence of life. People began to tire of the ideal situations depicted on the screen. Quite often
adventures in real life are more fascinating than fiction. Films were produced depicting adventure, violence,
crime and corruption, people who viewed these films projected themselves into the characters on the screen
and experienced a sense of fear, joy, excitement or satisfaction.
Thus, Cinema is calculating human values and nobility of character.
