int main()

    char movie [20];
    char * pMovie = movie; //no & is needed

    // this array only has space for 20 items
    // if we store more than 20, some data can get overwritten
    // fgets limits the input to a certain amount
    // if the user enters more, then it will only get the first 20

    fgets(pMovie, 20, stdin); //stdin means input from keyboard, not file
    puts(pMovie);
