opinion on cinema
Opinion on cinema: I really enjoy going to the cinema because of the atmosphere it creates. Even though it is quite expansive this days, I try going to the cinema at least once per month. I watch films in KCJT and Cineplexx. My favourite genre are historic movies based on true events. I really enjoy talking with somebody after the movie to share our experience. I believe some movies are a work of art because you need to have so much knowledge in sound effects, the screenplay, filming and so on…
graffiti
Graffiti is art that is written, painted or drawn on a wall or other surface, usually without permission and within public view. Graffiti ranges from simple written words to elaborate wall paintings, and has existed since ancient times, with examples dating back to ancient Egypt, ancient Greece, and the Roman Empire.
Graffiti is a controversial subject. In most countries, marking or painting property without permission is considered by property owners and civic authorities as defacement and vandalism, which is a punishable crime, citing the use of graffiti by street gangs to mark territory or to serve as an indicator of gang-related activities. Graffiti has become visualized as a growing urban “problem” for many cities in industrialized nations, spreading from the New York City subway system and Philadelphia in the early 1970s to the rest of the United States and Europe and other world regions.
