Special Effects

The Revolution of Special Effects in Movies TITLE

Why Use Special Effects?

Why should we use Special Effects? Why should we reenact the sinking of the Titanic? Why should we recreate the Coliseum in the movie "The Gladiator"? The answer is clear, because society has fallen in love with entertainment! Special Effects spices up movies; makes them very entertaining. The impossible becomes possible with Special Effects. If we did not use Special Effects the revolution of movies would be really slow and boring and movies would be really basic..

             With Special Effects in movies we can create a endless possibilities and bring dreams, illusions, and fantasies to life. We have brought aliens back to life, monsters have rampaged through out cities, the reenactment of the "Titanic" sinking made it look as if we were there. The movie "What Dreams May Come" with Robin Williams, took us into a world of illusions, made us think about our inner selves, and at the same time did an outstanding job at shooting the whole movie within a dream of an individual in the movie.

              Try and picture our society with just the basics of Special Effects, it would be really boring. Sing-A-Longs, silent movies, black and white movies would be at the highest of special effects. Just imagine having to watch a western movie on your first date, it would not be a pretty picture.

              As the years have gone by, we are not really into those kind of movies right now, even the romantic "chick flicks" of today have Special Effects. It can range from anything, from a jealous girlfriend running over the boyfriends lover, or the boyfriend chasing the new lover of his girlfriend and running into a gasoline station. Special Effects have revolutionized our world, and made movies come to life before our eyes.
