Get Obsessed with these Movies from 2014  

In a formal sense, the word is derived from the Ancient Greek word kinema, which denotes motion.

It was historically a condensed form of French cinema, created by two brothers named Auguste and Louis Lumière by fusing the Greek term kinema with the verb graphein, which means to write or record again. Cinema, however, is more than just a fusion of art and technology.

It is also a potent tool for communication, which is arguably even more significant. The meaning of man at a specific moment and place is included inside the substance of the film, just like it is in the language itself. In other words, it mediates how we see the world, aids in our quest for understanding, and frequently contributes to shaping the world as a whole.

Because of this, whenever we encounter an unusual occurrence, the only way to sum it up is “like a movie.” After all this great discussion, let’s jump in the water and see what 2014 has in store for us.

Conclusion:

Since it is a constant, collective social experiment in which we all take part, cinema also exudes a certain air of mystique. Like in any great magic show, we are all aware that it is an illusion.

We are all aware that no magician in the world has the ability to actually divide someone in half or make something float. Everything is a ruse, a way to maintain the illusion. But we have all decided to accept the lies we have told ourselves.

The same is true with films. A number of people who were aware of it from the beginning have been misled for more than a century. According to the number of viewings, these were some of the greatest movies of 2014.
