I have been thinking why do we cry when we see some intense emotion in movies.. and why do only some cry, not all? Some reasoning I could think of - we cry because the scene is so close to real that our mind (most probably heart..) forgets that we are part of reality but what we are watching is not. So in this case, does it mean the cast and crew have succeeded in their attempts? One more reasoning is that we try to relate events from our life to whats happening in the movie, and what happens next is that we try to take everything at a very personal level.. as if its all happening to you. And there is always this one character to whom you are relating to.. and our illusioned mind starts being that character. But its amazing how all this lasts only for a short time, just during the span of the movie. Once the movie is over, we are back to reality and the state of mind is back to being how it was before the movie!
All this late night philosophy is courtesy of this movie La Vie en rose
heyy i've thought about this a lot too! esp when i was a kid n went to movie theatres, i used to get totally involved.. it would be the same may be till the end of that day... the next day its as if it never happend :D
ReplyDeletedepends on a lot of factors i guess... the environment (theatre, home theatre, or just playing on computer) affects our involvement too.. our attention may waver sometimes n we might not be into it so much.. of course have to hand it to the director for grabbing attention.. relatability... thats really interesting..
so how'd u like the movie?
yeah true Priya! I liked the movie.. watch it when you get time. Also I liked two of the songs.. "La Vie en rose" and "No regrets".
