Week Three In Film And Overall Summary

Sitting here and writing blogs about different things I've seen and experienced within the past week opens up my eyes so much. I realize that many of us go through much more than we even have time to think about because we live such busy lives these days. If you truly take a look at film, it involves all of these different scenarios.

One of my posts this week was about how I am so caught up and busy with school this semester. I talked about in that post how I have been in school for a good amount of time now and have just recently discovered my passion. One of my favorite movies of all time is The Pursuit of Happyness. When I watch this movie, it reminds me of myself in so many ways. I have been pursuing many different things in my life but never found anything that I've had to fight for and work my hardest at. Finally, this past year I have found something to chase after and pursue with a passion.

Many movies, whether they're based on true stories or not can definitely inspire us or give us a picture of our own personal lives. Films like Slumdog Millionaire and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button are both not true stories but inspired the world in so many fantastic ways. Both of these films include struggles, love stories, and victories that the characters experience and many of us can relate to those things.

My blogs, this week, felt a little more personal and I feel that I could definitely take nearly all of them and create a movie out of them. I went through time of frustration with my friends, difficulties with love interests, and a new time with me and my mom. Many of these experiences that I've been going through have brought up obstacles and made me ask myself different questions from time to time about my life. Then, many times when I go through this phase, I put in movies that reflect determination, focus, and discipline and I get over the excuses that I make for myself.

Film is so much more powerful than people even realize. We don't just watch movies to entertain ourselves but we watch them for more personal reasons too. I know that when I watch movies for inspiration or even entertainment, it is a time that I can completely clear my mind and get away from the real world. Sometimes, this is exactly what many of us need to relax and reassure ourselves that things aren't so bad. Films have a great ability to help us through different times while we live real life movies of our own.
