 Many people today would argue that cinemas are becoming irrelevant due to new streaming services.

To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Response:

Some today contend that various streaming platforms have supplanted the role of cinemas in society. In my opinion, though home entertainment options are more convenient, there will always be a place in the world for the complete cinematic experience.

Those who maintain cinemas are irrelevant greatly value the comforts of home entertainment. Thanks to websites such as Netflix and Disney+, it is now possible to watch films and television shows at home on a variety of devices while enjoying your favorite refreshments. An individual using a streaming service can also select movies from a greater variety of genres and eras, pause a film at any point, rewind it easily, and change the audio and subtitling options to suit their personal preferences. Since these services are relatively inexpensive, a person can also enjoy these perks at a fraction of the cost of a trip to the cinema, which is particularly costly for large families.

Nonetheless, only at a theater can a person enjoy a truly cinematic experience. In the early 20th century, there was a sense of awe and wonder that cinema-goers experienced when they first witnessed moving images. Over the years, cinema has evolved and most adults today have indelible memories of classic films like The Godfather, Jaws, and more recent masterpieces such as Phantom Thread and Avatar. The feeling of watching a movie with a large group in a darkened room and the ideal sound and picture settings for a movie cannot be replicated at home on a much smaller screen. Indeed, at home an individual is likely to disturb the experience in the name of comfort and spend considerable time pausing, looking at their phone, and having conversations.

In conclusion, despite the inarguable conveniences that online streaming sites afford the average viewer, the cinema itself is crucial to modern culture. Therefore, cinemas should be supported and maintained by both governments and individuals.
