Movies... Watching them is far more than
just entertainment. They affect us deeper than we know, deeper than we want,
deeper than we allow them too. I remember this one time when I saw d entire
harry potter series in succession and then went out for a walk in the evening,
looking suspiciously at everything. Could there be a door behind this? I wonder
if there are wizards and witches in that restaurant pretending to be muggles...
And then the next morning, all magic was broken. After a twilight series day, I
kept thinking how stupid Bella is to give up on a living breathing and hotter
(literally) Jacob!
Movies, they just stick in your head. M
sure at one point of time, all of us, when there's a sad song on the radio and
we are in a car, have just stared out of the window pane into nothingness, let
the wind blow on our face n pretended as if the world is such a dark place n
that we are surrounded by eternal gloom.
Movies and serials often make us perceive
things way graver than they really are, sometimes creating useless and
meaningless misunderstandings. Often we see only one character of people, like
in movies, characterizing as heroes and villains; especially the villain. If
he's the villain, he's gotta be bad and evil. He cannot have likes, dislikes,
cannot be a good person making mistakes; he's just a bad guy and u gotta hate
him. He cannot have a past, he is just bad. How much we forget that life is not
all good or bad. People are not just good and bad. They are various shades of
grey, and deeper or lighter is a matter of each individual's perception and how
he behaves individually varying from person to person..
Sometimes however, this film illusion has
its own advantages.. Today I saw it. When it was so difficult to let go of
something, forgive someone, even though I had in my heart, to accept it to
myself, a little filmy style did the job for me. I was listening to November
rain and started walking d treadmill.. As d tempo of the song increased, so did
my speed.. N by the last part which is a lil different from the rest of the
song, I could actually feel myself letting go and by the end of it, when they
stop playing, I stood there in the treadmill, sweating like a pig, but relieved
of a lotta burden, just like in the movies.. J
