Movies in Our Lives
"have you seen any movies lately?"
"Have you watched this?"
These are the questions i got almost everyday in daily conversations. Honestly i am not much of a movie person, as i only watch movies every now and then. The lastest one might be "Ghost Rider", so i’m pretty updated i guess.
Oscars is just been showed on tv… but i hardly know the winners. Heck, i don’t even watch the movies nominated for the oscars, or at least heard about the movie title (i think 90% of the movies nominated have not been screened in the local cinemas). So i rather watch MTV movie awards where all the quirky blockbusters and well known movies were credited. yeah, i know oscars has more prestige, but the stuff showed on mtv is what some of us called "some good crap".
Movie watching is a lot of fun.. paying 10 bucks with my friends and munching popcorn along the way as we sit on the edge of our seats when great action is involved, add up with blasting surround sound and cool special effects. Alternatively, we enjoy the storylines written ingeniously by scriptwriters, feeling every emotion of the actors and actresses, even cry and laugh with them.
Movies makes us laugh, cry, wonder, think and so much more. Sometimes movies often recreates real life events. So is art imitating life or vice versa? A little bit of both i guess…
