Therefore, such a pleasant family reunion would always be a precious and enjoyable memory for each of us. (137) 3.

However, at the same time, the widely accessible Internet allows movies to be shared across geographical boundaries, which renders producing movies today to be more profitable than those in the past.Consequently, many directors produce movies for economic gains insteadof presenting a memorable story to the audience. With the commercialization of the movie industry, movies' function of spreading values has been less effective. Therefore, I believe that while the experience of watching movies in the cinema has been enhanced, the inherent value of the movies nowadays is no longer comparable to those in the past. (139) 5.
