Thomas Simmons made some very valid points about the lectures on movies. I really never thought about how much movies have shaped the economy. Like Thomas said, the movie industry provides a lot of jobs. I liked Thomas' example about the movie Hugo. Movies are so vivid that you feel like you are inside the movie these days, except we know we aren't. In Thomas' example, he talks about how in the movie Hugo, people were watching a movie about a train moving towards the camera leaving the audience thinking they were going to get hit by a train. Of course the time period in the movie Hugo was a lot earlier than today. Lastly, I will have to agree with what Thomas said about movie theaters. We all knew that the Internet was taking over the movie worth but we didn't realize truthfully that with the situations they have, they aren't doing that bad. I think Thomas did a great job taking the information we learned and connecting it to the real world.
