In many countries, gambling is very famous for entertainment, money and pleasure of gaming itself. It adds to the thrill in people who are looking for not just an adrenaline rush but also to multiply their money while they're addicted to playing and betting at casinos all across the globe. Due to its popularity, it has made its way into numerous Hollywood movies. Depiction of popular culture has been quite a thing in Hollywood and of course, gambling is a part of it. Since gambling is famous all over the world and casinos attract millions of people, so it makes sense why so many gambling themed movies are made.
There are movies with plots that involve gambling, and then there are movies in which the main theme is gambling itself. Gambling movies have been made to such an extent that it has become a genre on its own. It is called a genre on its own mainly because it provides the audience with a vast range of emotions. For instance, winning in gambling can portray what success feels like. On the other hand, losing can show how the character struggles with financial loss as well as their personal expectations. There's a lot that goes into a gambling story plot.

It is a thing of the past where there were only a few
streaming services that streamed movies and TV shows. Now, the potential and
the hunger of the public for entertainment has caused the birth of many streaming
networks. Other than Netflix, services like Hulu, Amazon Prime, HBO Max,
YouTube TV, and the newcomer, Disney+ are dominating the world.
Streaming services are one of the convenient ways to watch movies
and TV shows on-demand, anytime, anywhere. They stream Hollywood movies and a
mix of other country’s movies and shows as well. However, these streaming
services such as Netflix are now heavily relying on creating their own original
content. Their emphasis on original programming can have a bad impact on traditional
media companies.
Are you new to the world of superheroes? Even if you are, you may have already heard of Batman. The extremely popular character by DC Comics rules the hearts of many via comic books, films and merchandise of all sort. What makes Batman the most appealing is the entire setting and the unique story that is encompassed by each book and film.
And even yet, Batman keeps gaining new fans. But fans of old new, all of them have a unique history as to how they were first introduced to this dark, billionaire superhero. As per the findings of a 2019 survey, Batman gained the most fans via live-action tv shows, approximately 25% of the fandom. This comes as a bit surprising fact, as originally it is a comic character, and one might have expected most of the fandom to have been built from either comics or animated tv shows.
Gambling is playing a variety of games with a chance to win money. Having said that, it's most of the upper class and the extremely rich and wealthy that engage in gambling the most. They put large amounts of money on bet in order to double or triple it. Celebrities, in particular, have a major obsession with gambling.
Addiction to anything can lead to awful circumstances. Some celebrities have known to be addicted to gambling to such a high extent, that they even ended up their career for it. Michael Jordan is one such example. Other celebrities such as Joey Barton have even got an 18-month ban as a result of too much gambling and betting on matches.
The definition of a celebrity has far outgrown someone who is only a crowd-puller in real. While that may remain a part of what defines a celebrity, there's so much more which makes a person an icon. We have many small and big celebrities today, thanks to social media. Social media has given people a major capacity to portray their talent but there is a downside that comes with every opportunity. Money is not the ultimate answer to humans' emotions and it cannot be defined as the only thing that matters in life.
With the rise of social media, many people opt to gain fame just for the sake of it. They want their name to look cool, they want to be known and they can go to any extent for it, so far as to posting vulgar or inappropriate photos. This is not to say that all celebrities have the same intentions, but there are some gems among the famous crowd, who by all means have their feet firmly on the ground, despite their popularity.
It is easy to imagine that a famous actor or actress, who
has been on the big screen i.e., performed in Hollywood, is a hardworking
individual to make their way up to the top – which is perfectly true. It is not
easy to make your way onto the red carpet and be as successful as many stars
have. It takes years of one’s life to possess such skill in creativity.
