I was just going through my movie collection on my hard disk and decided its time to sit n clear some of the unwanted, time wasting, senseless movies which I would probably never watch. Its been on the PC for the past 4 years but I have always found it hard to press the delete button on the keyboard.
After going through some of the movies, I came across 'Yes Man' and it was in the list of movies that I had already seen. Somehow I couldn't remember when and how it was. So after forwarding it in a jiffy, I felt I should sit and watch this over lunch. I had just been 25 minutes into the movie when I started wondering why I never remembered much about it. Cause YES it is good!!!
Anyway, I've always had this logic behind watching a movie.
1.... They had to have a good rating.
2.... I should not regret wasting my time after watching it.
3.... They got to make you feel good.
4.... They should be inspiring.
Getting back to what I was saying, there have always been movies that inspire me or make me think.
I'm not saying Yes Man is one of them, but it does make one feel good. I have always felt that if you are going to get that dull head of yours to think for a while by watching some movie, then go ahead. But again, that doesn't mean you watch SAW and be like, hey lets play a game on someone's life.. :P Cos yea there are psychos out there who do get a tick out of such stuff too. You can't blame them, but hell we gotta stay away from them!!!
Some of those movies:
Pursuit of Happyness made me realize the value of money, and I thought I would work hard, be good and spend wisely from then on. Think it lasted 10 days!!! :)
Into the Wild and Lakshya have always been favourites. There is so much realism and you feel you can relate to the character. Well I felt I could!!! Matrix (Yes Matrix!!) No Comments. Stranger than fiction.. What a beautiful story!? Imagine if someone were writing your life, every moment hence, and you could only helplessly listen and wait what would happen next.. There are loads more, but these are the ones I can remember for now.
What I've learnt from all these are, there are some of us who would change after watching a movie. Some for the better, some for the worse. There are those who do not get affected by a movie. Those who would blindly believe stuff they see in the movie.. Its weird yet funny, but that's how human emotions are. ;)
