We like to watch movies because we want entertainment. Life is so full of stress that it gives us a chance to sit back and relax. Through film, we can explore the world differently and realistically. Movies allow us to escape into a different world and the new world we have escaped to is the perfect one for us. It is ideal because it is just the way we want it to be. Movies broaden our perspectives and give us a broader vision.

Cinema is like a magnifying glass. It is like a window that we can look out of and peer into a different world. The new world is full of wonders and excitement. It invokes our curiosity. We love movies because they help us escape from reality and explore an exciting world of liking where everything is perfect.
