A movie, or film, is a type of visual art that tells a story or shows something happening. It can make people laugh, cry or feel afraid. Some movies are about real things that happened in the past, while others are fiction. The director of a movie writes the script, or the story, and then actors act it out. A cameraman films the action, and a editor puts it together in a movie.
Some movies are about a specific time or place, such as the 1940s-era detective drama called “film noir,” in which the main character struggles to solve a murder. Others are about relationships between people, like the romances called “rom-coms.” Movies that have a lot of fantasy include magical and impossible things that any real human being could not do, such as flying, invisibility or teleportation. Movies that are about sports usually show people doing athletic activities.
When you write a movie review, you should start by explaining what the film is about and who the characters are. Then you should analyze it. This includes thinking about the plot and how well it works, the acting and the setting. It also includes examining cinematography, which is how the camera moves and how it is set up. You should avoid giving too much background information about the movie unless you think it is important to help your analysis. The attention span of most viewers is very short, so your review should be focused and interesting.
