How the Movies Effected Me
The movie Waking Life made me question a lot of things about life and reality. Am I really alive and where am I really? All these questions which I have had before became more real. I become crazy thinking about it. Is life what it is and how can I get out if it is not real? Can I get out? Am I some experiment with people watching me and when I die is that me going into the real reality. The movie just made me crazy and make me think I need a therapist. I mean that is what therapists do, deal with people like these. In other ways I thought it was a waist of time. If you put that much time into thinking about life then yu are not really living life but thinking of how you are living it. You become so consumed you miss out. Life is clearly not going to unfold itself any time soon if there is anything to be unfolded so why be the one figuring it out when there is nothing to figure out. Simple. Life is now and if there is anything else to it we will find out when we die and are taken to that reality. People seem to think to much and instead should be living by the simple rule of KISS, Keep It Simple Stupid. Life is so many things and there is only so much a person can do with it. So find what your good at and do. Live Learn Love. Not Live Question Think Question Obsess. That is no way to live. The movie gave me the idea that people have way to much time on their hands and need to smell the fresh air or pinch themselves to prove they are here and can just be. People we are here and always will be.
Then there was the Eternal Sunshine. That just let me know that I will never take my memory away for anything. People get memories for a reason. You do things for a reason. Tking away from those things makes you a lesser version of yourself and you become nothing but simple and stupid. Old people have so much knowlege because they have lived life and gone through so much and delt with it all. But when you take that away , when you become old you wit be an old person with the knowledge of a 22 year old not insite or oldness. It's like when you burn yourself if you take that memory away just because it was so bad then next time you get close to something hot then you don't know that that is a bad thing and you end up throughing yourself into a fire and you burn to nothing. You learn from break ups and how if feels to love. By taking your memory away of something like that you are taking away heart and love and who you have become from that. Then the worse part is is if that memory were ever to come back. It would become ten times harder to deal with it. Things that happen to a person make them and they have to choose if it breaks them or makes them. Life has it's purposes taking the effect aay change the universe. You go through life meant to do things and what you do effects everyone. Not doing what your meant to do is bad. memery determines how you react to things. Like if your boyfriend cheated on you and you take that memory away you don't know not to say no or have your guard way up if he tries to ask you out again. memory is life and without parts of it it is not life. So mine as well become a coma pacient because your not living to the fullest anyways. Take your experiances with life and do something with them don't through them away. if you kill someone with your trian because he ould not move write a book about it. Things happen and if we were to take away the stuff we don;t like about it we would be walking happys and that would be bad, very very bad.
