EVOLUTION OF THEATRE


The earliest movies were nothing like the ones we go to now. In fact, they were first called magic lantern shows. People would flock into small rooms, pay a few cents and watch moving pictures through slides using machines like The Praxinoscope. 


Now, we attend movies with our family and friends whenever we get mood off and also for our special days like birthday, anniversary day etc.., As movies started  to get bigger with longer run times, the advent of sound and movie theatres were formed.


Movie theatres got a little fancier the types of chairs used in the cinema theatres. Now instead of regular theatre seats, chairs were designed so that the  person seated could move back when someone else needed to get up to use the restroom.


Getting color in movies was a hard thing to nail down. At first, it was hand painting on to filmmakers did not know yet how to capture it in their camera. Then came the technicolor process used in cartoons and short live-action films, the process gradually spreaded.

MY FAVORITE- OLD MOVIES  It might be surprising, but I would confidently say that I love old movies than the new movies releasing now a days.  To be specific, I love the movies of the 1980's and 90's. It is my personal opinion to call the movies of those times the best of all the movies I have seen. Movies like, 'Kuch kuch hota hai',' Mouna raagam', 'Punagai mannan' are few of my favorites from that time. I believe, those movies had a unique charm and graze that could easily attract the audience to watch them. The movies had very good stories in them and I am in particular, a fan of the songs of the movies. There are hundreds of songs that I remember with amazing lyrics, tune, and picturizations.  It was surely because of my mother that I experienced these visual treats.I watched most of the old movies during the 10th and 12th board examination study holidays ! Our school used to give the whole of February as study holidays and I used to watch ...
