There is no doubt that today many of us are in the habit of assiduously watching movies and TV serials, especially now that we are faced with an abundant supply that can be easily enjoyed (even on one’s cell phone!). The reason seems obvious: these works engage us, convey emotions, and give us a few hours of entertainment.
