Playwright Arthur Miller said that “theatre cannot disappear because it is the only art in which humanity is located. “Is there anything better than watching movies that make us find something in ourselves that we didn’t even know ourselves?
Film and theatre, or any other stage art, can be just a form of entertainment, but they can also make us feel and think Make us laugh, cry, tremble, be afraid?Without a doubt, they can make us feel the full spectrum of emotions.
- Now it is certain that some can spend their lives watching movies as entertainment to pass the time.
- But there is also the possibility of letting them into the mind.
- The heart.
- Touching feelings and emotions.
- This is where we may be able to learn something from ourselves.
- We didn’t know before.
The primary emotional spectrum of the human being is always present in front of the images of the films. Authors such as Jean Mitry and Andrei Tarkosky have written excellent books on the meaning of cinema and its effects on humans.
When we watch a movie, emotions are unstable and somehow change our mood. Can love, anger, or sadness arise at any time?As well as feelings of friendship, anxiety and overcoming? A multitude of mental effects that can influence us and even generate self-knownness.
Are you one of those people who thinks they can’t fall in love?Edward Lewis, masterfully played by Richard Gere, may have thought the same thing. When I least expected it and where I least imagined it, he found Vivian Ward, the character seen in the figure of Julia Roberts.
In A Beautiful Woman has been created a kind of fairy tale that does not have to be real or realistic, however, love happens to two people who thought that this could never happen throughout the film, drawing a valuable lesson that we all know, even if sometimes we forget it.
Do you consider yourself a quiet and relaxed person, do you have a hard time taking yourself seriously?How far do you think you could go if you had a bad day?A day of fury perfectly reflects the dangerous thrill of anger.
You cannot consider yourself an angry or stressed person, however, when we are pushed to the limit, we can all explode at some point. D-Fens? Foster, played by Michael Douglas, also seemed a balanced man until circumstances exploded. Do you think something like this could happen to you?
Do you think whatever happens, you’ll never lose your good mood?Do you have a happy and full life and nothing can change that?You might think like Wladyslaw Szpilman, a character from The Pianist. All the circumstances in this character’s life, however, killed his hopes and safety.
Adrien Brody plays a talented Jewish pianist who sees his life lost because of the illusions of greatness and madness of a dictator; sadness takes hold of him, who loses all he had; a valuable life lesson that should remind us how sensitive and fragile we are.
As fragile as we are, we also have the ability to do our best. You can learn something about yourself from Writers of Freedom, a fantasy film in which Hillary Swank plays a particular teacher, Erin Gruwell.
Based on real events, this film shows the story of a woman capable of overcoming fears, violence and misunderstandings so that her students have weapons to fight: books, freedom and education, that is, the film shows a personal overtaking that shows that we are all able to give our best, even if sometimes we do not know how to do it.
You may think friendship is a weakness. If there’s no one dear to you, you can never suffer, but when you least expect it, a person can change your life, don’t you think?Ask Frankie Dunn, the retired boxer who is played with great mastery by the excellent Clint Eastwood in Golden Girl.
This story shows the friendship that develops between a veteran sportsman and the young Maggie Fitzgerald, whose role is played by Hillary Swank. They become so close that they eventually grow together, could that happen to you?
“A good wine is like a good movie: it lasts a moment and leaves a taste of glory in the mouth; is new with every sip and, as with movies, is born and reborn in all flavors. ? – Federico Fellini –
Although these cinematic stories are mostly fictional, we can learn something about ourselves by looking at them. The process of self-knownness lasts a lifetime, so it’s never too late to discover a small detail of ourselves. A movie, a song, a book, a conversation?What activates our reflection is not as important as the teaching we learn from it.
