movies & films
movie: /ˈmo͞ovē/ noun: a story or event recorded by a camera as a set of moving images and shown in a theater or on television; a motion picture
film: /film/ movies considered as an art or industry
I think it can be said, after reading this, that movies and films are not the same thing. Granted, they are the similar, but they don’t carry the same meaning. I’d compare it to book versus literature, or even food versus cuisine. The difference is in the connotation, and in the amount of depth given to each.
For instance: American Pie is a movie, but The King’s Speech, well that’s a film.
But let me stop before I go on sounding like a textbook (which is probably influenced by my having to read so many lately), and explain what I’m doing here.
Hi, my name is Caroline, and I am here because I want to write.
“That sounds wonderful, Caroline, but don’t you have another blog to do that in?” you may ask.
“Why yes, I do.”
“Then what’s going on here?” you insist.
“Well, that other blog is a poem/prose blog. You know, free writing and stuff. This is a different blog because it’s movie reviews and criticisms. Get it?”
“Oh, I see. That’s wonderful. I’ll be looking forward to reading your posts,” but really, you are thinking of how much of a Tumblr whore I’ve become, and you’re probably right.
Anyway, I hope you like to read about movies, because this is just another one of those blogs. I hope my stuff isn’t too long, because I’ve realized people hate reading. I’ll post up some pictures and stuff, to lighten the mood, you know. Okay.
