Do we need cinema as a form of entertainment? People throughout the world need entertainment in order to create a balance between study, hard work, research and relaxation. That is how people started to create arts which are immortalizations of beauty or scenes from our life with a big impact on us, especially on young people who are in quest of self-affirmation and discovery.
People what ages are attracted by cinema? Cinema is one of the arts which succeeds in attracting people from all walks of life, all ages, especially young ones. To begin with, the emphasis put on alert action makes adolescents be glued to the screen of their laptop and forget about their homework, house chores, and the necessity to practice sports. Unlike books, the cinema attracts young people with its visual effects meant to create a world which seems to be real and almost perfect.
Movies show youngsters a fictitious world where nobody judges them. In this world which the spectators are invited to join without needing anyone's permission, they don't have to be rich, handsome, highly qualified, experienced, noble, or perfect. They can be whoever they want. They imagine being in love and being loved by princesses. They are powerful, strong, good-looking and respected by everybody.
Furthermore, cinema stimulates the young people's imagination by showing what the world of the future will look like. The new gadgets and means of transport which will make the people's life much easier stirs their creativity and makes them inventors, researchers, writers. This way, the whole world benefits from their achievements.
On the other hand, in the past years, the media, its entertainment industries and fashion designers have created an image containing a more negative look for our youth, including sexuality, violence, vulgar language and revealing clothing. It is this distinctive style that has parents, teachers and even some adults worried. Some cinema scenes, the song lyrics transmit to the teens, especially female teens the message that they should feel free to be sexually active and expose their body as freely as possible and sex is becoming the style at a young age. Course language and swearing is another threatening issue on today's society. Children as early as the age of six are influenced by this inappropriate usage of language.
Moreover, the current style of clothing and of makeup which is both revealing and overdone makes young girl hide their real personality, not to mention the fact that sometimes they wear the same hair and clothes style which make them look alike and sometimes much older than their age.
To sum everything up, cinema has both a positive and a negative influence on young people. All they have to do is select what corresponds with their personality and to live their life, not to imitate the film stars' way of dressing and behaving.
