So I was thinking what to write about, and by the way I have a huge list of things to write about and then I found myself distracted with my beautiful TV and my downloads.
I always feel better when I lose myself in a movie. It's much better living in a fantasy world rather than the boring reality. And I think that is the whole point of movies. They are made to sweep you off your feet for those 90mins, take you to places you never went to and make you experience things you never did. And the more sensational and mind-sweeping the movie is, the better it is.
I will never forget "August Rush". That movie sucked me so much that all the time I did not hear or see anything or anyone around me. I did not hit reality except when his mother and father looked at each other in that last seen. That was when I felt, oh how cheesy, a movie people !! Other than that moment, I never felt I was watching a movie. And later on, I found that all my friends felt the same way.
As a matter of fact, as soon as you put your headphones on, you are in a totally different world. You can't hear anyone outside. It's you and the music/movie. Every word that's said is processed better, since it's the only thing going in.
With music, the experience is different cause the journey is only for 5mins or so. But still, it does help. I'm that kind of person who listens to certain songs according to my mood. It's not one playlist playing all the time. I have a happy playlist, sad playlist, depressed playlist, hyper playlist and a special playlist ( for a special feelings :D ). And I so react with the music.
I also have my movies. When I'm depressed there are certain movies I watch to cheer me up. And there are certain movies I never watch when I'm in a certain mood.
I never thought much into all this. Until one night I was laying in the dark and that's where I do my serious thinking and my mind does not shut up !! Anyways, I was thinking how all my friends seem to be running away from the single's league into the engaged and married ones. And I started wondering if I'll ever go to those leagues. Then it hit me, I'm 21 !!! I'M TOO YOUNG FOR THIS PEOPLE !! I REALLY REALLY I'M !!! Just because I graduated at a young age doesn't mean I'm old !! That's not my point anyway, may be I'll talk about it another time. So after I found out that I am too young, I figured its not an age thing its a matter of maturity. Are they ready to settle and are they 100% sure of who they've chosen as their forever life partner. I found out I'm so confused on what I want. And here comes my point. I found all my thoughts affected by the movies I've been watching !! By favorite movies are romantic comedies, so you can only imagine how messed up my mind is now :D.
What is every girl's dream? Prince Charming, her Knight in Shining Armor both on the white horse, he'd come and sweep her off her feet. I'm not joking by the way, that is every girl's dream. Prince Charming or the Knight is a normal person with everything she's dreamed of, and the white horse is everything he owns which she's dreamed of ( that part is not as bad as it sounds, I'm talking small basic things people, flowers and simple gifts nothing major). Did anyone ever think if that does exist? Oh and you know that amazing fantasy of love at first sight, its a lie dudes. No such thing trust me. I'm not pessimistic I'm talking from experience here :huh. Kidding :D, but it's true though. There is a spark at first sight.
Movies always end at " ... and they lived happily ever after ". Well, PROVE IT !!! Come On !!!
I want disney to make a movie telling me what happened with Snow White, or Sleeping Beauty. Oh the dear Sleeping Beauty. Did you realize our dear princess did not actually know her prince that well before " the happily ever after ". I mean at least Cinderella went to the dance and they talked and stuff.
I've been lied to people. Prince Charming does not exist, and by Prince Charming I mean movie Prince Charming, cause everyone has her/his perfect someone, and I know I have mine :huh.
I'm very proud and happy of my friends that they were not as affected as I was or they just figured it out faster than I did. But I'm still happy the way I am, confused and unsettled, because this gives me more time to sort things out and make my final list of characteristics of what exactly I want.
So, I'm happy to announce that I have let go of my movie dreams, cause simply life is not a movie. Life is life, it's real and it has it's ups and downs and that's what makes life enjoyable and entertaining. But I still can't help myself from smiling when I see a romantic love story in a movie and still, in my heart, secretly hope all my movie dreams come true.
