In love with the Movies

Just as any blogger, when I thought of blogging there were so many things I wanted to write or talk about.

Then I realized that I love movies so much, I mean literally I watch Movies by the dozens. Say in a week I watch at least 2-3 movies that means by the end of the month I have watched like about a dozen of them. This is not to criticize movies but to actually share appreciation for the cinema, the hard work from concept to actual production and the final results of a team work of so many people.

In a movie the only one thing we observe but never really reflect is that the story of the movie was a sweet romance, catchy thriller or full of suspense or violence and how the actors really portrayed that character that somehow clicked within us in some sort of a way.  But in the actual sense there was a script writer who thought of the plot, and characters, the director who visualized the entire movie right from the opening to the grand THE END or happily ever after. And also the costume designers, music directors, choreographers, supporting actors, editors and so on and on.

It seems like movies just mesmerize me, the music, the colours, the scenes, the characters, their clothes, make me lose myself in those stories so much, the era they depict. I always try to reflect why the director showed a particular scene in that way or a particular actor/actress was chosen for that particular role. Although to many people, actors/actresses seem larger than life, I see them as real people who go through everyday situations like us, you know, like,” Hey where did I misplace my toothbrush” or “I am having a real bad hair day sort of days” or “My girlfriend broke up with me today” or “Give me my morning coffee or else!!”

So, this is my attempt to share my love of movies, dramas and theatre to all of you, you who like me are movie lovers or even, maybe, movie critics.
