Entertaiment means entertainment’, an event or activity designed to give pleasure or enjoyment. On Saturday night they go to the concert, a form of active entertainment that involves live music and interaction, while on Sunday they watch a movie at the cinema – passive entertainment that allows them to be immersed in a story, escape their everyday lives for a few hours and experience high quality filmmaking. The power of this type of entertainment can be seen in the way that stories like Scheherazade inspire orchestral works by Rimsky-Korsakov, Ravel and Szymanowski, a film adaptation by Pasolini and innovative video games.
