Movies were never an art form, they were entertainment. It just evolved into an art form from there, and it's still evolving in different ways.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's disappointing to see films become pure entertainment, so that it's not an art form.
When movies first came out, maybe they were in black and white and there wasn't any sound and people were saying the theater is still the place to be. But now movies and theater have found their own place in the world. They are each legitimate art forms.
With a movie you're creating from the beginning this particular work, let's not call it work of art, because very few movies are works of art, let's just call them bits of popular culture, whatever they are, sometimes very rarely by accident a movie becomes a work of art.
Movies are an art form that is very available to the masses.
Cinema is an art form.
Movies become art after editing. Instead of just reproducing reality, they juxtapose images of it. That implies expression; that's art.
More people are exposed to movies than to most other forms of art.
I think in Europe, movies are made like a commodity and then sold as art.
Cinema is still a very young art form with extraordinary techniques and very impressive special effects but sometimes it seems the soul has been taken out of things.
Movies are visual, aural, they involve people, and life, and ideas and art, they are so elastic. They can hold anything, withstand everything, and make you feel anything. Other arts can do that, but movies are the only ones that can incorporate other media into cinema.
