The love for movies was always there, I think it’s a genetic thing in our family.
Now that I sit back and analyse my life until now, I’ve seen a trend of movie choices I have made and it finally boils down to what I expect from life, my likes, dislikes, some very specific things.
If you ask me how important are watching movies, especially if you are in the field of storytelling? It is absolutely, very important that you watch movies by famous directors, script writers, actors etc. Not just for inspiration but also to understand how different people perceive the world. It helps you connect to stories that in real are either not possible or its someone else’s story you are a part of.
The type of movies you watch on a frequent basis are often something that precisely can tell what kind of a person you are, what are your likes , dislikes, what inspires you, what moves you.
A movie is a different reality you live through visuals (and popcorn obviously)
Some of my favorite movies have had one common trait, a leading woman in a dominant role who is shown as independent, self-sufficient, motivated, driven , empowered, creative which also reflects me as a person.
What type of movies do you like to watch, do they reflect something about you ?
If you are looking to understand yourself a little better, try analysing the choice of movies you are making.
Also it’s not that if you watch sci-fi based movies, you want to colonize the world, or be friends with aliens, (or is it ?) some movies can just be for the pure purpose of entertainment or provoking thoughts .
The type of movies we choose is often a representation of what reality we want to be in , the movie is just the medium .
Yes! I’ve started writing random thoughts that come to my mind,
