'Then came the movies'; writes German cultural theorist Walter Benjamin, evoking the arrival of a powerful new art form at the end of the 19th century. With this statement, he tried to explain that films are not just another visual medium, but have a clear differentiation from all previous means of visual culture. However, the mystical question is, “Why do people watch movies?” What is that magic potion, which keeps people's eyes glued to the habit of watching movies, even after more than 100 years of its arrival? And more importantly, why do people love watching the same movie over and over again? The answer is well summed up by Oscar-winning actor Jack Nicholsen, in one of his speeches during the Oscar awards ceremony, “… they entertain us; they offer hope (and) give trauma; they take us to places we have never been, even if just for a few moments; they can take us away, when we want to escape; Films inspire us; they challenge us and, despite our differences, they are (the) common link to humanity, in all of us.” In my opinion, this statement accurately reflects why people love watching movies. Movies allow us to escape. But there is value in this evasion, it is more than just evasion. Films put us inside the skin of people very different from us and in places different from our everyday surroundings. As human beings, we always seek the expansion of our being and desire to be more than ourselves. Each of us, by nature, sees the world with a different perspective and selectivity from others. But we want to see the world through the eyes of others; imagine with the imagination of others; feel with the hearts of others, at the same time as with our own. Films offer us a window into the larger world, broadening our perspective and opening our eyes to new wonders. The concept of “window” is present in the very form of cinema. Each 'shot' is a framed window that suggests the vast reality just outside our sight. People who look at this "window" connect to this reality, experience events, feel emotions and immerse themselves in whatever life they desired. This is the magic of cinema. If we go back beyond the Lumière Brothers' screening of their cinematography in Paris at Christmas 1895, which is too direct a narrative of the birth of cinema; ancient visual forms such as Egyptian hieroglyphics or pre-cinematic image capture and projection technologies, known as magic lanterns, which employed a series of lenses and light sources, were the first evidence of humanity hypnotized by the play and tricks of lights and shadows.
