Movies' Modern Relevance- Rather, why they still have it.

We discussed recently in class the topic of movie theaters, and why they have stayed successful in America. One point that was brought up stuck with me, that being the pressure by society to see movies  as soon as possible. Most of the movie experience could be had in similar capacity with a dvd at home, Yet we still flock to theaters when the next Avengers or Star Wars comes out. This is because movies have endeavored to give us experiences that cannot be seen on tv. As a result, when we go to see them, we're often blown away by their quality and scale. We want to talk about them, but others don't want to have the movies spoiled. It plays on excitement and fear of ruining the story, which is why it's so effective at getting us into theaters time and again.
