As humans entertainment is part of our lives, people face different problems daily and instead of the problems decreasing, they keep increasing. I don't know the psychology behind entertainment but for me, one of the reasons why we have entertainment is for it to take us away from our worries and put smiles on our faces for a moment.
Music and movies have been doing so much in entertaining man, each of them with their unique ways of making our day lively. Beyond just entertainment music and movies also have ways of passing messages to us in simple and comprehensive ways.
I am a fan of both movies and music, day in, and day out, I either watch movies or play music. These two have become like part of my life. If I am not doing one I am surely doing the other. However, I won't say I am addicted to any of them because there are days I go without music and without movies. yet my life depends on them both.
Recently, I discovered that the easiest way for me to sleep is to play a movie, yeah! Sleep is one of the things I struggle to get but since I discovered the movie principle, it has become very easy. I know many individuals watch movies to either get entertained or educated, I do as well but most times the primary reason why I watch movies is to sleep.
Mind you I have learned so much from some movies (educative ones) The message sunk into me deeply, and the pictures of some of the scenes remain like words in my head always reminding me of the lesson. Like Rise one of the movies I watched recently, I really enjoyed it. Each time I want to give up in life I remember how the family of Adetukumbo suffered on the street yet never gave up until they succeeded. I tell myself, "Man, you gotta keep pushing".
Although it is very easy to get weary of movies when you see the lessons and pictures, those ones barely fade away. This is why one must be very careful of the kind of movies he/she watches.
On the other music is life, it's my best friend, though I don't always listen to music I tell you what, anytime I am bored, annoyed, hurt, troubled, weak, demotivated, and so on, the only friend I can turn unto and get proper attention is music. The moment I play the right kind of song, it doesn't take up to a minute before I get back on fire. Both music and movies can affect our emotions but music seems to affect it in a more intimate way than movies.
For someone like me who is always bored yet doesn't like being with people, the only thing that can keep me companied without boring me subsequently is music. Once in a while movies lit my day but you see music, except I don't play the right one else anytime, any day, I play it, I forget my situation and regain strength.
I am the kind of person who gets weary of movies easily, the moment I watch a movie once, it is already old, and when you play it again it begins to bore me. Sometimes it happens even with music but the advantage there is on boomplay, there are so many songs to stream, and when you get tired of listening to one you can just switch to another without spending much, but when it comes to movies, it costs a lot of data to get them downloaded into your device or stream and if you are not lucky enough you may end up with an annoying movie that would even ruin your day.
In terms of message, it depends on the kind of songs one listens to, it is not a hidden thing that our music has decayed in terms of message, you can only hear good sounds but the content is rotten nevertheless there are still good songs with goods sounds and powerful messages. This is part of the reason why I select the kind of songs I listen to, you can join me too, don't just listen to any song, know what's inside first.
Have you not Wondered why no matter how boring a gathering is, once music is introduced everything changes? Music is magical, the possibilities attached to it are limitless, beyond the physical, music is spiritual, and this is why you literally become the kind of music you listen to continually.
For instance, someone who listens to depressed songs soon becomes depressed, someone who listens to songs about making money, always loves to work hard and someone who listens to spiritual songs, always does spiritual things.
Music has a way of connecting with the very essence of our being. It also has transformative power. With all these advantages attached to music, I don't think I can let it go for anything. So my vote would be going for music.
