On movies again

You could say I'm high, 'cause I'm on movies again :), and there is a strange feeling I've been having about these movies of the 2000's. It's hard to explain, but I will try. They go deep into our minds, search for our personal thoughts, experiences, fears, strengths, feelings, memories, things that make us smile or cry... yeah, that's nothing new. All movies, from all times, do/did this.

But there is something special with these new movies. They got our internal rythm of life. They got our feelings and the way we live them, second by second. They know exactly when we would get bored and what they should do to resuscitate us. There is an almost perfect match between our feelings, thoughts, expectations and their script, the actors they pick, the images they choose, the music they play. And that's not all...

You watch a movie, and sometimes it seems like you are watching your life. Not the whole story, even if this could happen too, but small parts of it: a smile you saw before, a moment you've already lived, a way of following your dream, pictures you have taken when you were in vacation, things you have said and so on.

The last movies I've seen: Shutter Island, Inception, Prison Break (still watching this).

"Just say you understand"

One idea came into my mind this morning when I couldn't get out of my car because I wanted to listen to the whole song that was playing (from my own CD!). It's a Goo Goo Dolls song, from Let Love In album - Without you here is the name of the song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGiwMGe5E3g&feature=related). It is not the greatest song I have ever heard, and it won't be in my top 10, but...

I think that the most successful songs will be those that you get them before the lyrics start or you can guess the lyrics just by listen to the background sound. The composer / the band will reach his / their objective when the listeners know the song and understand it from the first 5 seconds and they are dying to listen to the whole song just to make sure that their guess was right.
