What Makes a Great Movie

Great movies do not always have to be something that immediately strikes a viewer's interest. They can be based on a subject you have always disliked, or have not previously watched because the sheer filming and cinematography could become of great intrigue. Special effects, which play on people's imagination, a noteworthy soundtrack, scenery, and camera angles, can make a movie spectacular. Movies that relate to real life events and touch the audience's hearts through strong emotional appeal also help create good movie standards. The truth is what most enjoys seeing as sometimes it can be overwhelming, frightening, irrational, tender or idiotic and people love to watch a good parody.

Films have to be understandable, provide insight into all character's personalities and roles, and quotable. They can be something that sparks laughter, helps us grow, terrifies, or simply entertains. We do not want to have our time wasted or feel that seeing this movie could have hurt us by hindering us from another more important or enjoyable activity. Both of us enjoy movies with an exciting storyline or seriously cool visual effects. A movie does nothing for the audience if the acting is amazing but the story is lost in the first five minutes. Good acting is much appreciated but with out a decent plot, it really has no true impact. Furthermore, movies will generate particular moods and feelings and certain films are more appropriate for, lets say, dates than for a guy's night out.

Altogether, we think originality and creativity are movie musts along with surprise, climax, and emotion. Ones that are different to the normal teeny bopper or action packed Vin Diesel films are much appreciated. Audiences do not enjoy seeing repetition in movie themes and plots with the only significant difference being the cast. Movies including climax, emotion, and true feelings capture viewer's attention and make them more inclined to watch with respect and try to connect in one way or another to the film. Surprising endings always pull audiences in whether it is a preferred close to the movie or not. Unexpected events always leave a trace in our minds and the best movies are those we continue to ponder days after viewing.
