LOL, you're so ing clueless sometimes. The terminology used when discussing motion pictures aren't country specific, they're field specific.
"Although the words "film" and "movie" are sometimes used interchangeably, "film" is more often used when considering artistic, theoretical, or technical aspects, as studies in a university class and "movies" more often refers to entertainment or commercial aspects, as where to go for fun on a date. For example, a book titled "How to Read a Film" would be about the aesthetics or theory of film, while "Lets Go to the Movies" would be about the history of entertaining movies. "Motion pictures" or "Moving pictures" are films and movies".
It's not a matter of where the terms originated, and what they used to mean. It's about what they mean today. And if you ask anyone involved in the creation of motion pictures, they're most likely gonna back me up.
Also Epic house did not exist outside of your head. |

In Norwegian, the word Kino can be used to refer to both the movie theatre and the type of motion picture, as in the term "kino-film". |

| it is an american term that exists only in context of american cinema. I would say you are right if you were discussing NA cinema, but it seems most people here are from around the world. And the term movie means nothing to them. |

Yes. Clearly you are an expert at sociolinguistics and it is I who is ignorant on the subject.
In day-to-day language, people will talk about motion pictures in a way totally removed from technical or specialised discourse. In the UK, people will most commonly use the word "film". When ten year old kids gather in the playground to talk about Transformers, they use the word "film". When pensioners reminisce about The Dam Busters, they use the word "film". When I tell someone I've been to the cinema, they will ask me what "film" I went to see. And when I make a one-line post recommending a motion picture on a music forum, I will call it a ing "film".
So go shove it up your in' ass. And then go see this film. |

I'm pulling a big blank on "NA cinema", so I'm gonna await commenting until you can elaborate, cus I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with native americans.
While the terms film and movie, came about independently, and initially had the same meaning, they are terms that have evolved as to more clearly describe what type of cinema you are watching. And these are the terms used by those that discuss movies on a professional level. I don't give a about what terms Joe Bloggs use, as Joe Bloggs is always ignorant and wrong. |

So you proclaim "if you ask anyone involved in the creation of motion pictures, they're most likely gonna back me up", literally the first person to reply is someone who works in the film industry, and now you're arguing with him.
Nicely done. |
