Movie night
This week for school I was forced to think about my movie choices and my opinion of them. Like anything else I put my mind to.. I ran with it! I am not a chick flick girl, I prefer Fight Club, Reservoir Dogs and The Godfather. Over the years though there have been a few fluffy movies that caught my attention Practical Magic and City of Angels. It has taken me till now to really understand my feelings as to why.
Movies like Fight Club have a element of life in blender, gritty with a twist of random crazy. Reservoir dogs has a rough, edgy, in your face sense of living in the moment. These movies I understand, somehow the characters blend in but on the inside hold secrets that would to most society seem dis pleasurable.
I stayed away from movies with a fairy tale type feel or a true love aspect. Although the two I mentioned have somehow made it to my DVR and I can almost recite lines. I found it extremely difficult to relate to love stories honestly because it never seemed real, something made up.
The magical sisters cursed to find and lose true love.. jaded and desperate to keep love far enough away to see but not feel. Then destiny finds a way to lift the curse for true love to grasp hold. A doctor longing for that tenderness and understanding she is missing from the man she thought her equal. The angel on earth to whisk the newly departed to heaven sees inside her heart and falls in love.
I took to heart the young Sally wishing for someone who couldn't exist so her heart would never be broken. The Angel story of course the most far fetched, a heavenly creature giving up eternity for the simplicity of human touch and love. What must it feel like to know someone gave up something .. to be with you? Both these stories of course now in my reflection indicate what I truly want.. the man i dreamed up that shouldn't exist.. he has a giving soul with a heart of a lion and the ability to see me for who I am. He cherishes my gifts of insight, compassion and reaches for my hand when no words need to be spoken. Like Sally wishing for a Love even time would lie down and be still for... That person willing to move mountains and fall from heaven if necessary.
The lesson this week in school was for me probably not quite what the instructor thought it would be.. never the less .. a teaching moment.
The bottom line is light the candles, pop the popcorn, gather around and enjoy your own favorite movie with those you love. Give them a lesson on what is between the scenes and do not be afraid to learn something about yourself in the choice.
