$arrays = Arrays::create([
                        'movies' => [
                           'the_thin_red_line' => [
                               'title' => 'The Thin Red Line',

                               'decription' => 'Adaptation of James Jones autobiographical 1962 novel, focusing on the conflict at Guadalcanal during the second World War.'
                           ],
                           'bad_times_at_the_el_royale' => [

                               'decription' => 'Early 1970s. Four strangers check in at the El Royale Hotel. The hotel is deserted, staffed by a single desk clerk. Some of the new guests reasons for being there are less than innocent and some are not who they appear to be.'
                           ]
                        ]
                    ]);

$arrays->dot();

print_r($arrays->toArray());

The above example will output:

Array

    [movies.the_thin_red_line.title] => The Thin Red Line
    [movies.the_thin_red_line.directed_by] => Terrence Malick
    [movies.the_thin_red_line.produced_by] => Robert Michael, Geisler Grant Hill, John Roberdeau
    [movies.the_thin_red_line.decription] => Adaptation of James Jones autobiographical 1962 novel, focusing on the conflict at Guadalcanal during the second World War.
    [movies.bad_times_at_the_el_royale.title] => Bad Times at the El Royale
