Through comparisons with other arts (such as painting, sculpture, architecture, theater etc.) this article establishes advantages and disadvantages of movies when put up against some of these more traditional arts. It also determines the limitations of film. Some big names of movie history are mentioned here and some of their thoughts and theories are used as help in achieving the goals of this article. A lot of effort is invested in the search for the true artistic soul of cinematography. This article also tries to see which elements film has at its disposal.
