What factors contribute to the success of a movie?

It is easy to assume that only a good story makes for a good

movie

. But that isn’t necessarily the case, in my opinion. A

coupled with some good direction will leave the audiences enthralled. The

movie

Lord of the Rings is an apt example where each scene left the audiences at the edge of their seats, with their curiosity aroused (and maintained consistently) at wanting to know what will happen

next

. The director worked well with the editing team to ensure the placement of each scene is done in a manner which doesn’t bore the people watching it. The editing team, at times, ends up with the toughest job of deciding which scene to remove from the

movie

altogether.

This

is done so that the final

movie

doesn’t include any unnecessary moments which doesn’t add to the overall plot and makes the final product crisper for the audiences. Believable acting skills, in combination with an engaging script

also helps

in transporting the audiences to the ‘make-believe’ world of the fantasy that they will be watching. Actors

such

as Orlando Bloom played the part of the Elf so well, that people still associate him with the character he played in the

, well after the

movie

ended. The witty script of Lord of the Rings

also

ensured that the audiences were left amazed at the fictional world of Middle Earth with characters ranging from

the dwarfs

who could fight brilliantly, elves who could perform magic and humans who would defeat the evil with their resolute will, determination and good intentions. External factors

as the society’s perspectives and the era in which the

is being released, the audiences prevalent social and political ideologies

play a role in contributing to the

of a

movie

. In

this

instance, the aforementioned

movie

is based on a book by Tolkein. And the book wasn’t successful at the time of its release in the 18th century as concepts of fantasy and folklore were perhaps not as popular at the time. But the

movie

adaptation of

this

book in the 21st century was a huge

success

.

This

may be because people have become more accepting and excited at the idea of magical creatures and fantasy in general. Overall, it can be easy to assume, that there are many factors that leads to the

success

of a

movie

and at times, one cannot determine and take into account some unforeseen aspects as well.
