RESPONSE TO MOVIES: THOMAS SIMMONS

   I thought that Thomas's response to movies was extremely insightful and well written. It was clever of him to include an example of how movies really have had an effect on people. I had forgotten after the lecture that when movies were first introduced...that there was this shock factor, anything could surprise the audience, whether is be the graphics or a train moving towards someone, It was easily believable. It was something that attracted those who had never seen something like that. Now of course, we have come a long way with technology and we have advanced tremendously. With that, a movie theatre is like a big comfy living room with your family and friends and some weird strangers that you don't know, but nonetheless it is exciting and fun and it will continue to be so until we create something more, something that will top this "tradition." With that, Thomas did a wonderful job stating his opinion and making sure that his readers knew what he was talking about.
