For the longest time i never understood how my friend stephanie could sit around her house for an entire day and watch movie, after movie, after movie….IT WAS BAFFLING! I was just like….dont you want to move? And all she would say was….if the movies good enough, why would you want to do anything else? or something like that…I was always the person that couldn’t sit still during films, i was antsy, i may have a case of restless leg syndrome, but the point is…a couple movies changed my view point on the whole matter.
One day i was directing my clicker through the OnDemand page of my TV. I saw a movie called Dazed and Confused and i was like ehhh maybe it will be good. SO i looked under the description and it said something like, “70s teens celebrate their last day of high school” somewhere along those lines, so I watched it! AND LOVED IT! It was soooo funny! And interesting, because i never really realized how different those times were, but how the same they were too. I just thought, 60s and 70s people did a lot of drugs…okay! end of story. Then I saw it, and i was like shoooooot that person is exactly like one of my friends, that other person was exactly like another. It’s hard to imagine how close a movie can relate to you, but it’s very possible
My next revalation was the movie Across the Universe. I was a little scared to watch it because I was so in love The Beatles, and i thought they were going to tear they songs to pieces. Instead, they improved a few of them. The way they weaved the story line and the songs together was ingenious! I loved the actor especially, hunk o hunk of burnin love! lol jk! Anyway…good movies really do make you just sit. Even when you have restless leg syndrome. Movies have the ability to make anyone want to lay in a warm blanket for over 24 hours…watching a story take place before your eyes. If only I hadn’t come to that realization I might not be so lazy now.
