Abstract

Watching movies can be something more than watching a movie, so that the film experience is more complete, you have to read movies, because those words written and read teach you to watch. For that, the cinematographic journalism arises, that not only gives account of the surroundings of the cinema, also analyzes and interprets the films. They are not good times for film journalism, because of the crisis of journalism and the multiplication of voices promoted by the Internet. But the existence of professional criticism and film magazines is still necessary, due to its popularizing role and its potential so that the public can see and understand the film.
