Just Plain Bill
Movies as a Release
Are you a movie buff? I most definitely am. I enjoy the creativity, the
living stories, and, I must admit, the release from reality. I imagine that this
reaction is what the moviemakers intend… at least I hope that’s what they
intend. I’d rather not imagine they focus on shock and awe, with the intent to
create a gross reaction. Those can create an almost cult-like following.
Is that what a therapist would describe as a problem? Searching for an
escape from reality? I must admit that might be the case... in my case.
I recently saw a great movie starring the fabulous actor Tom Hanks. After
it was over, my wife and I chatted about what each of us experienced.
I continue to appreciate and treasure that in our relationship.
A future blog will include a rundown of movies from my past, most recent
back to my first recollections after seeing Disney’s Fantasia when I was about four years old. The colors and images remain with me
through the passing of many years, and the memorable soundtrack fostered my love of classical music.
It should be fun! What are some of your favorites?
