Why Movies Are Popular
Many people would say that movies, whether seen in the cinema, on the Internet, or on the DVD player, are one of the most popular forms of entertainment. Judging from the amount of time people are willing to spend on watching them, I readily agree with the statement. We have dozens of reasons for our love of movies. But the most obvious ones are the story, the special effects and the stars.
A “movie” is, basically, technology's answer to the traditional storybook. We all hunger for a life full of passion, excitement and love. If we don't find them in our own life, we try to experience them in fictional stories. A movie tells a story more effectively and vividly than a book. Take the movie “Saving Private Ryan” for example. In the first battle scene when the soldiers are under fierce gunfire from the Germans, you feel you are running with the soldiers and witnessing everything firsthand. You hear the echoes of bullets flying overhead. For fifteen frightening minutes, you feel as if you were in the middle of the battlefield. No storybook can create such a vivid effect.
Special effects are another crowd-puller. Take the movie “Jurassic Park” for instance. The dinosaurs, images are created by a computer, yet in the movie, they look as real as the actors. You can see their shadows and the vapor from their breath. This type of movie magic amazes the audience and keeps them coming back for more. Then there is “The Matrix” For two hours, the special effects of this movie make us believe that ordinary humans can walk around inside a computer program. Both movies draw a large number of viewers to their sequels (续集), mostly because of their special effects.

In summary, movies are popular because of the story, the special effects and the movie stars. It is still the quickest and easiest way to temporarily leave your ordinary life and to experience passion and excitement.
      IN ADDITION TO THE EXCITING STORY AND SPECIAL EFFECT, VIEWERS ARE DRAWN BY THE CHARM OF STARS. PEOPLE FIND MOVIE STARS ATTRACTIVE. MANY HAVE A FAVORITE ACTOR OR ACTRESS WHOM THEY IDOLIZE AND WOULD LOVE TO SEE IN MORE MOVIES. JACKIE CHAN AND LIANJIE LI, TWO POPULAR CHINESE STARS, DELIGHT NUMEROUS FANS WITH THEIR SKILLFUL ACTING AND COMIC EXPRESSIONS. THEIR MOVIES ARE ALWAYS A HIT. MOVIES STARRING JULIA ROBERTS, THE SLIM AMERICAN BEAUTY WITH A BROAD SMILE, SELDOM FAIL TO CAPTURE THE HEARTS OF MILLIONS OF VIEWERS AROUND THE WORLD. IT IS SAFE TO SAY THAT THESE STARS DRAW MANY VIEWERS TO THE CINEMA.
