As soon as photography was invented, people, worked toward new ways of capturing the motion of images. Film and popular cinema were the result of the new photographs in motion.
Film is an art form, evaluated based on acting and special effects that create a story with an underlying message. A documentary is a type of film that reflects a specific culture or society. For example, The Gold Rush is an 80-minute film made in 1925 that represented the hard living conditions in which the miners lived in 1898.
Popular cinema is most interested in gaining an audience that to deliver an underlying message. Popular cinema is intended to entertain the audience when the pubic watches an enjoyable movie. For example the musical movie Grease does not intend to send a message to the public, but to entertain them with songs and dance.
On the other hand, the difference between film and popular cinema has begun to be indistinct. For example, the movie Titanic in 1999 was recognized for its perfect presentation of the era and the documentary part of the film.
