Also, people in today s society mature at a faster rate than people of past societies did. Movie going audiences seem to be less satisfied with having things left to their imaginations. It seems more important to them to see the image rather than have to imagine it. I suppose this could be caused by the amount of information that is readily available through visual media, that is television and movies. People are not reading as much any more.
Movies are a great source of escape for people in today s society.
They need to be able to get away from their lives which may be either humdrum or hectic. It is important for people to have a large fantasy element. Movies like Die Hard and all of the James Bond movies can give people this kind of escape. It is the films like these that are often criticized for their violent content. It seems pretty funny to me criticize a movie like this because they are generally so cartoonish that it seems impossible for anyone to take them really seriously.
