It's hard to believe 2009 is coming to an end.It's been one crazy-fun-wild joy-ride this past year: from bloody horror flicks, to great drama, to action-packed Science Fiction, to hilarious comedies, and let us not forget the 3-D explosion. So many great movies, so little time. This movie montage is the best one I've seen yet. In case you've been living under a rock this past year, here's a look at what you've missed. And for those who frequent the cinema often, enjoy reminiscing some of this years best movies.
2009, you have been very good to us with all your amazing, fantastic, heart pounding, hysterical, thrilling and groundbreaking movies. 2010 definitely has a lot to live up to now. I'm looking forward for next years cinema frenzy though. It will definitely give us a run for our money. BRING IT ON!
"I don't know what space exploration will uncover, but I don't think it'll be exploration just for the sake of exploration. I think it'll be more the fact that it allows us to see things. That maybe we should have seen a long time ago. But just haven't been able to until now."
Some of the scenes were filmed at the Coachella Festival in 2017, where Lady Gaga was the first female headliner in ten years. Festival-goers paid ten dollars to see the scenes being filmed, although recording devices were locked away to prevent any footage being leaked.
I feel film matters because we use it to tell stories about who we are as a society. They are a record of what makes us human and what concerns us in our everyday lives. Film has the power to transform emotions and it gives us opportunities to expand our horizons. It has the power to connect us to a whole new world outside our own. It's magical. Moreover, film is the most prevalent form of communication and entertainment in the postmodern world. Even while we are mindlessly absorbed in a favorite entertaining past time, we are subtly and unconsciously washed with layers of cultural values. Some films are fleeting entertainment while others are truly magnificent, dazzling, thought-provoking works of art.
Long Live Film!
