Movies - good or bad!


I think I have been watching too many movies. And definitely it has some negative impacts on me. Thanks to those, all I can see is just a virtual life which is so wonderful and fabulous. In other words, I’m observing a “la vie en rose”. There, everyone in the world is all supermodels. The girls are beautiful, tall, flat-stomached with irresistible lips. The guys are handsome, muscular with deadly smiles. There, everyone just has to work 15 minutes per day tops and they spend the rest of their time on hanging out at some cafeteria, pubs or clubs. There, if they are fed up with their current work, they can quit anytime and easily get a better job which suddenly turns out to be a job that they have been dreaming of since they were children. There they are so in love with each other and if they do something hurting each other, a romantic act will be a effective solution for all the problems. In some case where the problem is so big that they can’t make it up, they will go to other countries which are usually some developed ones to forget their past and begin a new life… In general, life in those movies is simply wonderful and full of happy endings.
Back to reality, life is not that simple. In the real life, everything is contrary to what shown in those movies. Here, you have to look around til you hurt your eyes just to find an average person that seems to match you eyes at some dimensions. Here, you have to work at least 8 hours per day and when your work is off, you are so tired that you just want to go home and take a sleep instead of hanging around and having some fun with your friends. Here, in order to find a quite acceptable job you have to try your best and once you lose it, you’ll be pissed off for a very very long time before getting some job that’s not your interest. Here, it’s hard to find your true love and it’s even harder for you to keep it up. If you do something that hurts him/her a little bit, a night with roses and candles can hardly solve anything. And when a beak-up happens, you can’t go anywhere but locking yourself in your room and cry the shit out of you. Yes, that’s it. Welcome to a real life which is more complicated than what you think.
But it doesn’t mean that movies are bad and I should stop watching them. Living in such a crazy world, sometimes you need something to hold on whether it is virtual or real. Watching those movies can give you some hopes and dreams when this world lets you down. You may think that in some case, life is not as bad as it seems. Maybe there are still some good things somewhere which are waiting for you to discover. Maybe someday you will have everything that the characters have. And above all, those movies can make you believe that there are miracles in this real life that you can’t anticipate or figure out. So just live your life the way it’s meant to be and don’t ever give up however hard everything can be.
Me, I will keep watching movies.
