Movies

What is the funniest movie you have ever seen? What is the scariest? The saddest? The best? For me, it’s any that makes me think. Picking one movie to be the best is almost impossible. You can have more than one favorite movie, that not against the law. Unless there is just one movie that blows you away and you can’t stop thinking about it, it’s perfectly fine to have a list of your favorite movies. I think it’s almost a bad thing to pick a single movie as the best.

Making a decent movie is a daunting task. To be successful is very hard. This is because different people define being successful differently. To one person, successful may mean you make a movie that attempts to offend nobody. But to another person, successful may mean to make a movie that points out the flaws in society, offending a lot of people. I think that for a filmmaker to be successful, he needs to make the movie that he pictures in his head, and not let anybody change what he envisions.

Now back to favorite movies. Like I said before, I have not a single favorite movie, but a list of the top movies I have seen. All of these top movies are ones that make me think. After the movie is over, I’m thinking to myself about how it could have turned if this had happened or how it could have been different if the character chose to do this instead of that. A good movie leaves me feeling like I haven’t seen enough and I don’t want it to be over. I never can get enough of a good movie.

Now I’m going to start something. At the end of each post I will try to include a YouTube video to search for. I have that nifty little search YouTube thing on the side of my blog and I want to put it to good use. So here is the first one: Search “afro ninja” (its only on my mind because we were watching it in class today. I’m not even saying its that good, its just for a quick laugh).
