Love Forever


There is something on this earth that I will love forever and it is film. This post will probably be pretty short and to the point, but it still needs to be said, simply because I think it does. Film is something that I will never get tired of, whether what I watch is boring or exciting, new or old, homemade or Hollywood, it has taken my heart and it will never give it back. No matter if the movie industry will take me to my friends house or across the world, I will keep it with me not only because I get enjoyment out of it, but its almost part of my soul. Like you already know, I have been watching films of all kinds since I was a little kid and when something is part of your childhood and never goes away, come on it becomes a piece of home to you. Film is a place that can take me away from reality, a place I like to stay away from as much as possible. Reality is boring and monotonous most of the time unless you are with people who believe in the dream world as much as you do.

For example, when I saw the new Alice and Wonderland I never wanted to leave the theater. It's a reoccurring problem, once a film starts and I enjoy it, it should just never end... This world of imaginary lives and break downs of a person's life can teach people so much about their own lives, which is why film is so cool. I say cool, because think about it, one film can use up all of your emotions, it can teach a kid about the concepts of death, it can show what happens when someone falls in love, it can say the stuff that you can't say yourself in about 90 minutes give or take. One film could change the world, you may call me crazy, it wouldn't be the first time, but think about it, one film can give jobs to hundreds of people, the money made can help a local economy, or simply give you a good cry in your home after a long week at work/school/play.

For me, films are an escape to the fast past world we live in. Films take me away to my "happy place". They have always been there for me, as I'm sure they will be in the future. It will be a love that lasts a lifetime. It is my reality, while the rest of my life is just a dream or a nightmare depending on the day.
