Entertainment

Playing musical instruments, participating in outside hobbies, reading books, competing in board games and playing cards are not the ideal forms of entertainment these days.

Television has the ability to be deceptive. What might be considered right or wrong can alter depending on what show is watched. Television…

People change behaviors based on little things. This change might be positive or negative. Movies stories nowadays have hand on someone behaving. Movies is not only an event recorded by a camera as a set of moving images and shown in the theater or on television. It is beyond that, each movie has a purpose. Determining the purpose of any movie is tricky. The primary purpose of most movies of course was to make a profit. Governments may release an educational movie to achieve a change behaviors…

Sports have been around since ancient times. For example, the Olympics were invented by the Greeks in 776 BC. Royal tennis, also known as court tennis was played by French monarchs in the 14th century. Sports were originally made so people can have fun and partake in activities with friends. However, one sport is defeating the purpose of sports. That sport is boxing. I think boxing should be banned because it causes harmful injuries, promotes sportsmanship and is a bad influence on society.…

“Is the ability to be entertained constantly and no matter where you are really a good thing?” questions Craig Watkins, author of “Fast Entertainment and Multitasking In an Always-On World” (161).

motion pictures captured on film only lasted a mere 2.11 seconds, during the 1920’s, they became full length movies with sound. It was during this decade that the love of movies really took over and became one of the world’s biggest sources of entertainment. It was also during this time period that Hollywood established itself as the film capital of the world. During the 1920’s, sound was introduced to films, actors gained notability, the way movies were filmed was changed, and theaters changed…

I've spent the past two and a half years making a film - probably a good 95% of my non-sleeping life during that time - and sometimes it seems it all comes down to these few weeks of release in theaters. Let me tell you, it's harrowing. The movie is doing incredibly all over the world - up nearly fifty percent over the first film in most territories, and a breakout hit in countries where it didn't do as well the first time around (hi, Korea!) I'm exceptionally proud of how well it's doing in the…

Even though movie attendance dropped following the Second World War, people still flocked to the cinemas for a few hours of entertainment. By the mid-1950s, however, things had begun to change. No longer was film the top source of visual entertainment, but it now had another medium with which to compete—television. Some of the biggest studios in the 1950s teamed up with network television companies to get a foot into the door of the…

Entertainment has always developed from either images, sounds, or both. People are entertained when they hear or see a topic they find interesting. Furthermore, everyone wants to be absorbed by an activity. For example, Ancient Greece was years before our time, but people wrote tragic stories that were soon acted out because it was fascinating for everyone. Shakespeare's play, Hamlet is a classic tragedy that entices people by its distinctive and riveting plot, and its historical and cultural…
