Movies Time

Most people in this world watch a lot of movies. If you think about it, just how many movie theaters are on this world? For each movie theater there is about ten to fifteen movies in each one. So how are these movies affecting us? In my opinion the way movies are affecting us are by their content (what is in them), how much time it takes to watch a movie, and the cost. Movies have a lot of inappropriate content

Maybe you have heard of this or maybe you have done it yourself, where the under aged kid/teen sneaks out to watch a rated R movie. Then the parent/guardian has to come and get the kid/teen because they figure out that they are missing and remember them talking about going to a movie. Well, if the content of most entertaining movies were not so inappropriate for people under the age of 18. Movies are getting worse and worse as years go by. Movies can also be very long.

The average movie is about 2 hours long. Just think what other things can you be doing in 2 hours that is more predictive. I can think of a lot of things like cleaning the house, going to work, spending quality time with your family. In fact just last night when I was watching a movie (Golden Compass) I was called to go baby siting. I said no because I did not want to finish the movie. Now that I think about it I would have rather gone baby sitting. Then I would be gaining money rather than not getting anything. Watching a movie in the theater can be a very expensive purchase.

It cost over 5 dollars just to go see a movie. It is even more when you are an adult. That would mean that a family of five people would have to pay about 25 dollars. That is 1/4 of 100 dollars!! And that is with out all the extra costs of popcorn, candy, and/or drink. That is what it would be watching it in a theater. If you would like to buy a movie at the store the price would very from 10-30 dollars depending on which movie it was.

In conclusion I think that watching movies are really affecting our lives a lot. They are affecting us by there content, price, and how much time it takes to watch a movie. So, the next time you are thinking about watching a movie, think about what I have said.
