Why Video Films Are So Encouraging To The Way We Live

By Nixon Meyer

Men and women alike get emotional when they watch certain types of movies and shows. Movies have a way of affecting the way we feel. They can stimulate unpleasant thoughts of the past or inspire us with hope for the future.

A good romance movie will remind you of inspiring times of heartfelt love. They can bring back memories of when you first fell in love or of a time when you were emotionally unstable because of a relationship breakup. We all can identify with certain types of love stories.

Some love and romance stories are based on real life events. The circumstances surround the plots are very similar to the circumstances people face today. Though the scenes and locations of the story may vary, the conditions such as meeting a new person for the first time on a cruise ships are all the same.

The same can be said of true crime stories. I am a big fan of Dateline MBC and every now and then they will do a show on stolen cars. Whenever I watch episodes like those, I am reminded of the day when my own vehicle was stolen and it brings out deep seeded anger. I love it when car thieves are caught.

Comedy or funny movies remind us of the fun times in life. Very often, they take us back to a time when we were involved in something crazy too. It could be as simple as watching the movie Revenge of the Nerds where one college pranks after another was played on a group of nerdy students or as simple as remembering how much fun you had when you play hooky as illustrated in the movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

I love to watch funny movies. They make me feel good and remind me of fun times I had in the past. More than just pranks and joke, funny movies tend to take us back to some of the happiest times in our lives. They bring back memories of functional and not so functional family holiday events and remind us of times when life was not so complicated.

It has been said that the movies people watch are reflections of their dreams and personalities and will most often be a representation of their past. Movies wherein your favorite actors huddled around the dinner table for the holidays remind us of the fun times when had growing up. They are very nostalgic.

A good film can inspire you to accomplish great things. They can also provide wisdom and insight if the movie you are watching is very similar to your life's present circumstances. Movies will always have a significant place in our lives. They will continue to make us laugh and cry and they will often be the source of unexpected wisdom when we need it the most. - 29967
