Summary

"That Marvel—The Movie" by Edward S. Van Zile is a look at the rise of motion pictures, tracing where movies came from, what they mean now, and what they could become in the future. The book argues that movies can be more than just fun; they can connect people and teach important lessons. Instead of making the same mistakes again, people can learn from watching movies, especially since books don't always reach everyone. Movies can show us what happened in the past and help us build a better future, changing quickly from simple entertainment to a powerful way of sharing and understanding the world around us.
