movies...

Sometimes being a cinema major can really ruin your entire movie watching experience…


I have a problem of going to the movies and analyzing the film before I even let myself enjoy it. And what is the point of going to the movies if you are not planning on enjoying what you are seeing? I have heard from other cinema majors that they too have this problem.

I went to go see Shutter Island the other night, a film that I was very excited about seeing. I found myself as I often do letting go of that willing suspension of disbelief and just annualizing the film instead of just absorbing. I would not let myself be surprised at all and I found myself predicting the ending of the movie… Perhaps it was just a predictable movie but I still wish I could just watch a movie sometime just to watch it.
