My Love Affair with the Movies

so i will start this blog off by saying how tired and depressed i have been feeling these past two weeks. I am so sorry I havent been around. This has been a huge changing point in my life...and i have not the energy to get into it right now..but just know I am beginning to see light at the end of the tunnel. I will be back soon enough to myself.

but tonight I decided to watch a movie in my room. I chose Seven Pounds. I bought it today because Jessica told me i would love it and mom and dad said they hated it. MY KIND OF MOVIE. I swear I make it a goal to love the movies others hate. I really do. But anyways I sat there watching this movie...figuring out the plot probably earlier than I should have...but sat watching it. caught up in the emotions of it. in the sorrow of the story. and by then end I found myself on the edge of my seat wondering what the outcome would be. Lets just say I have not been that moved by a movie in quite some time. I LOVED it! a BEAUTIFUL movie that moves you. the very core of yourself. So if you havent seen it..i ORDER you to go buy it and watch it! I COMMAND IT!

But it got me thinking how much movies affect my mood. How I use movies to cope with life both in good times and in bad. They dont always affect me how one may think. I can be in the WORST mood the most DEPRESSED of situations and All i want to do is watch P.S. I Love You or MY Girl. You would think a sad movie wouldnt be the thing to watch..but there is a beauty in these stories...i find myself transported into a different place. I am drawn in and left breathless. With almost all movies. I really wish I could pin point some way to incorporate this passion of mine into a career.

but i sat on the computer afterwards looking up the soundtrack of Seven Pounds (which yours truly now owns along with several other songs that were in the film) but i stumbled upon a few classic soundtracks. I wish to own and watch each and every one of these films ASAP. These are the movies that make me feel the happiest. they take me back to my childhood of sitting at home with my mom watching TCM. I believe these movies are the reason i adore films so much. They are just few but they are my childhood. They impacted my life. they taught me that in every sitation there is a song to be song (oh how i wish that would happen in real life...) and no matter what you think is the end, that is just the point things begin to change for the good or bad. but never the way you expected them to. so whoever reads this and decides to make my life better by sending me these films. forever will i love you.
