Movie
Movie (pronunciation: /ˈmo͞ovē/), also known as a film or motion picture, is a visual art-form used to simulate experiences that communicate ideas, stories, perceptions, feelings, beauty, or atmosphere through the use of moving images. These images are generally accompanied by sound, and more rarely, other sensory stimulations.
Etymology
The term "movie" is short for "moving picture". It originated in the United States in the early 20th century and was colloquially used to refer to the then-new phenomenon of films. The term "film" comes from the photographic film (also called filmstock), historically used to record the moving images.
