Division Classification Essay Tabitha NewberryFridays 830-1130 Is the theaters cinemas worse or better than shoes mental pictures? While I do non gener all(prenominal)y care for tv set, I do enjoy movies. Movies, however, posture both a financial and a time commitment. When my family and I go to a movie, we spend approximately $20 for admission and an additional $20 for popcorn, sodas, and other snacks. At this cost, a night at the movies result often function as the evening meal as wellhead. Occasionally my mummy and I or my sister and I will go see something I especially want to see and exit my son with a sitter.Still the financial obligation is significant. Movies generally last somewhere between an hour and a half to two hours, plus time to dress, drive, park the car, buy tickets, get snacks, find a seat, and put on previews. Thus, there isnt always room in a busy scheduleor a stuffy budget to go to movies. In other words, I cant see them all at the theater. For t hese reasons, Ive devised a rank of movies to include those that I can stick with at post. The engages be large in these categories 1) Films I will give way to watch in a theater 2) Films I will subscribe and 3) Films I will watch on television.I will pay to see three different emblems of movies family pictures, Funny, and what can I say Im a hopeless Romantic. Sometimes these all overlap, making me truly happy but commonly non. With a young son the pressures to see every childs, or family, film is tremendous. He does not sit still long enough to even watch a 30 minute television show. At daycare, they hear all about Brother Bear and Dore the Explore, or Go Diego Go. The actual select of these films is meaningless to children. Deny them the opportunity and they feel cheated. Take them to a bad film, and they become instant film critics.My son has a little bit before he gets to that point, but you get my drift. Yet I still try taking him, I do. As a family, we all including my son alike the erratic movies. It is a given that we will see every new Romantic Comedy or Kids Movie film that makes its way to theaters within the opening week. Some other adaptations or other very film-not-movie type films warrant their own special experience for me, I suppose, due to my Romantic interest. Not terribly long ago I dragged my Sister to see a film entitled The Vow This film deals with a real love story of faith, the tale of a love that refuses to be forgotten, and is ased on the actual kin of Kim and Krickitt Carpenter, who wrote a book about their marriage, also known as The Vow. Most movies that I will rent but not pay theater prices to view are the free kids movies or worseBARNEY AND FRIENDS These movies were the movies my mom used to say were a treat for us kids if we were good. Free and funny she called it. The previews sell them quite well but not well enough to put them on the must-see list. So they end up in my home during one of those hey-want-to-ren t-a-movie times. Unfortunately, finding time to watch a rented video or DVD is not an easy feat at my house.My son likes to fight his sleep and then homework and dishes and extra make clean on the weekends when company comes over. The weekends are about the only times my son and I feel like staying up new to watch a movie. (Probably the only time he stays up late EVER), and not surprising we fall asleep just minutes into our rented films. Sometimes these films go unwatched back to the movie store. About once every couple of months when theres nothing I want to see on the life story Channel, ill flip through the channels and find a movie.I dont pay for any of the special movie channels because I would never see a return on my investment. But I starting line saw The day after tomorrow, The Alamo, The Shawshank Redemption, and numerous others this way. Of course, they were four or five years old when I finally saw them. One plus to waiting this long to see them is that I wont be in fluenced by the viewpoints of others when I formulate my critical analyses. Regardless of the genre and regardless of my personal classification, I find roughly films to be a bit of a let-down, especially if someone has raved to me about how wonderful a concomitant film is.I always seem to think the industry could do better. For this reason, many of them make it to the watch it on television group. On the other hand, those that do make it to the theater group are often desirable enough to make it to the purchase for home group, but thats really another class altogether. So with all that said and done I think I would rather just chill at home with my son and wait 4-5 years to watch a movie on television, than spend almost 40 bucks on a movie I will probably only watch once at the theater. And save me a lot of time and effort as well.
