When we watch movies in the cinema, people often only remember two person, other than the casts: Director & Producer. and then they look into the storyline/plot. sometimes they stay behind to wait for that cliffhanger to the next sequel.

well, other than these two people, most audiences forget about the rest of crew that actually made the movie possible. it is pretty sad. films are not made by just two person alone. Steven Speilberg, James Cameron, Peter Jackson, Michael Bay wont be today without these unsung people.

while there may be alot of boring names at the end credits, but it shown for a reason. it actually shows us what kind of people, or companies that were involved in the making.

for example, if the blockbuster movie has got animations, or special effects. it shows you the what company were involved. And then you see a long list of korean names, or japanese names. The people who were involved. and then u start to realize that it actually took this much of people to make the character move. its pretty amazing.

or if the credits shows little known jobs that actually somehow contributed to the films.
or how many Makeup artists, or Editors, or Stuntmen they hired just for the film.
Imagine u worked for the film, and it shows up in the credits. but people walks out of the cinema totally disregard the credits.

so you see, watching movies is not just about story/plot/ effects. End credits are equally important as the main subject. i think that this is what makes me appreciate movies more than other people. while its easy for us audience to judge the movie is good or bad, but remember the people in the credits.
