The difference between 見る and 観る
In a recent journal entry I used 見る as in 映画を見ました.

One suggestion was to use 映画を観ました. So I'm just wondering what the differences are between them.

Thanks in advance! :D

Answer

見ました
観ました
どちらも正しいですし、
意味も同じです。(どちらも、I watched a movie.という意味)
特に意識して使い分けすることもありません。

Answer

I think "観ました" imply that you watched something in detail and/or with taking time. Eg. watching TV programmes, football games, paintings at museums, etc. (Perhaps not necessarily for enjoyable stuff - because we have a word 観察 for observation.)
"見ました" could be used in a more general manner: Eg. I saw her walking with him yesterday. / I saw him standing in front of the station.
