There’s no doubt that Movies have had a major impact on the world around us. In my personal opinion, i believe it’s one of the original pillars of not only media but also art in the new age. As a kid myself, TV and Movies were the thing that got me into art, so i’m sure that there are like instances.

Though Movies have paved the way for other art such as TV and other forms of media, it didn’t start off that way. When it came to starting such a large business venture, there were obviously obstacles in the way. As we had discussed in class, it wasn’t as if the entire Movie empire had a base to start and everyone knew what to do, of course not. Instead, the movie industry and, in turn, the big five that dominated said industry, had to make a name for themselves all on their own. Directors, Actors and Actresses, Stories to tell, Theaters to show the films, it all had to come into fruition despite there being no real starting point but rock bottom

Though, as time wore on, it was only a matter of time before the government were to crack down on the monopolies that the big five movie companies had on the entirety of the movie industry. With the lack of movie theaters that guarantied the viewing of certain films made by the big five, they subsequently had to move on to other, more financial, ventures when it came to their movies.

Flashing forward to precent day where there seems to be a rise of a new “big five” in the form of streaming services, it’s sad to see shows that once used to be public now in the custody of a streaming service that you may or may not have on hand.

Things are moving forward in the Movie industry that may lead to history repeating itself in a new way. Things aren’t as they used to be and i’m personally a bit worried but intrigued.
