Movies...

Ok, here's something that's been bothering me alot lately. I know alot of people will disagree with me on this but hopefully some will agree as well. I went to the movie The Invisible today and it made me think about the current media situation. It used to be that movies were a way to get you out of reality. To make you think, "Aw I wish my life could be like that" even though nobody's life on earth was ever that perfect. It gave you this illusion of bliss that pulled you through all the horrible days. Now movies have become too much like reality. You can't watch a movie without thinking, "I know someone whose life is just like that" and it's not a good thing. It's sad and depressing and makes you realize how awful the world is now days. It's even more awful because it's starting to be that the "horrible" real movies we see now are the children of today's "perfect bliss". I just wish there could be normal, happy movies to get me away from the world. But no, now the world has invaded that part of my life too. I'm surrounded by awful things yet I still see the good. It's amazing, but I think our generation was taught to do so. To see the good amongst all the bad because if you dont see the good, they all just blend together to form one giant mass of unemotional chaos.

The world is changing. We can't forget the past or the future will undoubtedly crash.
