Arts & Entertainment

More often than not, one does not come to life’s more interesting conclusions on their own. Most of the time we have to ask help from others to figure things out. Trying to better understand the world cannot always be purely achieved during a heartfelt conversation with a friend over a cup of coffee, or a stronger beverage. For thousands of years, our ancestors grasped the mysteries of the world through stories told by a silver tongue while sitting next to a warm and inviting fire along with family and friends.

Even though we still may do this on an annual camping trip during the summer, the modern fireplace in many ways is the home entertainment system prominently displayed in our everyday living rooms. As the world has progressed from the days of only a handful of channels, there is more choice than ever. Practically every motion picture ever made is only a few button clicks away as streaming has enveloped the world with its convenience within the last decade.

With this amount of choice, there is a far greater opportunity to find content everyone can enjoy. This is nothing but good news. Watching a good movie by yourself is usually not quite as fun as watching it with loved ones however. Consequently, home entrainment has become the new daily fireside experience. Psychology has even come to the conclusion our minds have evolved to understand the abstract concepts of daily life through storytelling.

This is why it’s more important than ever in our generationally distant society to partake in something as simple as enjoying a movie together. It goes without saying that in the last fews years times have been difficult. With this in mind, sitting down to watch a movie with our favorite people may be one of the more enjoyable activities to help us learn, comprehend, and thrive in order to create new wholesome everyday experiences for everyone.
