    #19 : Why I Love Film

    Dirty DancingIn the past month I was reminded why I just love, love, love movies and why I want a career in the film industry (behind the scenes) some time in the future. I saw 4 mainstream films (Live Free or Die Hard, Ocean’s Thirteen, Hairspray and Bourne Ultimatum) in the past 6 weeks and 3 out of 4 of them I loved. The other (Ocean’s 13) simply sucked. That’s saying something since mainstream films these days can be so bloody awful. I got to thinking why I love movies because I felt reawakened to my appreciation for how film can make me feel. Die Hard, Bourne and Hairspray were all great, fun and substance-filled (quel supris!!) films that made me want to watch them again as soon as I left the theaters. It’s rare that a mainstream film can conjur such a feeling in me. So, what is it about movies in general I love?

    • “Makes me feel like dancing, dancing the night away.”
    • All the drama and mayhem without any of the accountability
    • The hot men, of course
    • Makes me feel like anything is possible
    • Watching racy scenes on the big screen in a dark room full of strangers
    • Reminds me of other worlds, types of people, ranges of emotions and experiences
    • They make me want to be a better person
    • They make me want to be a better artists
    • They’re just bloody fun

    I really wanted to like it, but it was just a bit messy.
