10 THE FUTURE OF CINEMA
In the past, the cinema emerged as an evolution of the theater and was intended to show real or fictional stories through actors. Later, television emerged, which meant a shift from cinema to that medium. By cinema or theater, citizens could see how present, events centuries before. It is true that this is an ideal medium to develop the imagination, however, the great flaw of cinema is that it is based on made-up stories or only partially real. This means that these media run the risk of becoming simple instruments for the dissemination of personal opinions of those who make the novels or participate in the filming, which in the end can significantly alter the reality of the stories that are told, especially when people think they are inspired by real events.
Unfortunately, on many occasions the content of the novels is considerably removed from reality to adapt to the prejudices in fashion at all times. At other times, politicians give "aid" to the world of cinema, which is actually bribes, to make films in favor of their political ideas or to support them during electoral campaigns. Perhaps that is why, in the future, novels will be replaced by cultural or essay books and cinema by programs where the presence of actors such as musical, informative or documentary programs is not so important, everything will depend on whether these entertainment methods are capable of contributing the same things that novels or acting films now offer. Another drawback of cinema is the moral aspect, because in order to make interpretations more real, actors are forced to exceed the limits of what could be considered ethically correct in any other profession and in the end it is quite difficult to find a difference between what they do and prostitution.
There are also those who consider it immoral to watch war films, but in my opinion, it makes no sense to reject them just because they deal with that subject, because the important thing is not the fact of watching them but with whom the viewer identifies, because if he identifies with the character that defends justice and human rights then it does not have to suppose any moral contradiction. In addition, the logical thing is that the cinema shows the reality of society and if there is violence in society it would be absurd for the cinema or documentaries not to collect it. This also happens with sports, because the existence of opposing sides not only serves to represent the reality of present -day society, but also serves as gymnastics I n such, so that the public is Mentalic of the risk, because when we see or participate in a competition, in reality, we are simulating a fight in legitimate defense to prepare our body and our mind for the risk of real danger. The same is what happens with movies or documentaries.
