What does Life & Movies Have In Common?
What do Life and Movies Have in common?
They both have characters, stories, conflicts, resolutions, climaxes, scripts, lines, genre, theme, settings, cameras, actions, light sound and many many hours of input and dedication of professionals who care and make, maintain and project the movie on the big screen and we all get a feeling of wow that was a fantastic movie.
After everything is said and done what makes a movie of 150 or so minutes memorable apart from the work of the editor and mixers the graphic designers and many other professionals is a magnificent story.
The challenge in life is that we are the director, the writer, the narrator, the trendsetter, the organizer, the camera and sound personal, the light holder, the graphic designer and recorder the digital mixer and the editor, etc. etc....all in one.
While we give a lot of credit and awards to the characters in a movie and shower them with praise recognition, rewards, esteem, and status, we rarely get to celebrate our own authentic self in the same light of Grammy awards.
Each one of us is the director of our own movies, and we have the opportunity to impact through our stories beyond what anyone film can make and we seldom are given the stage or celebrated in that manner.
The long-overdue recognition can be awarded to you. What is working to our disadvantage is the inner critic who criticizes every action and every moment and tells us that the character is not good enough for the part.
It is time to stand up and celebrate our movie of life which can take on average 70 or 80 years to complete. Since we can only get the correct response and applauds of our audiences after we pass on, it is best to enjoy the movie while we are in character and playing it. The best way to enjoy it is by editing the right scenes and sounds and replaying it over and over and create more of the views that are pleasant and powerful. So we are fulfilled that our movie of life made a positive impact beyond the confines of our limits.
Unfortunately what movies and life don't have in common is the fact that there are no retakes in life and the scripts we are given in life sometimes is not re-written or can't be edited; but, it is as raw as it gets.
So I say let's take every day as a scene and play our best part, regardless of the cameras and lights not being focused on us. Because we are the star of the day and can outshine any light or camera anyone can focus or shine on us.
So the question is hypothetical, after your passing would you pay as a paying audience to watch the movie of your life which would be composed of all the peak moments in your life? Will you feel excited, ashamed, proud, joyous, regretful, happy, sad, dejected, discouraged, encouraged, frustrated, delighted to watch this movie oh and one more thing how would you write a review? Because that is one of the most critical reviews since you had the full background unprecedented access, and would you write honestly and openly? How would you characterize your movie as a success? Who would you recommend to watch the film and would you rate this movie as one, two, three four or five stars?
Happy living, filming, and Editing:)
