In this blog, I'd like to write about cinema.I think that cinema plays a very important role in our lives. There are big colorful posters in every corner, which encourage us to go to the cinema and see upcoming movies. I personally love spending my free time watching ambitious films with a complicated plot. I usually do it with my friends, because we like the same movies. After watching a film, we spend hours discussing it. I believe that well- made movies which bring up some serious issues affect people's behavior and opinions. Nowadays, thanks to a new technology, we can watch color movies with special effects. In the past, black and white movies had to be enough, because people didn't have any other option. 



We can enjoy cinema thanks to the two brothers Auguste and Louis Lumiere. They invented a device called cinematograph and in 1895, they organized the first movie festival in Paris, during which they presented three very simple silent movies. 









The first one was a documentary which title is Workers Leaving The Lumiere Factory in Lyon. The second was the first comedy in the history of cinema entitled The Waterer Watered or The Sprinkler Sprinkled. And the last one was The Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat Station. These days, many people think of these movies as boring rather than impressive, while in the 19th century people were enchanted by these three movies.
