The act of creating a film is a true art, an art that I wish I could master or for that matter even have time to do. The ability to manipulate peoples way of thinking so that you can create thoughts and emotions in their mind, makes me want to write, produce and direct a movie. The movie doesn't even have to have super special effects such as The Matrix, it could be as simple as Amelie and yet still have a massive spark of emotion. Another aspect that I believe to make films to be legit, is the emotion of "Never give up, never surrender" attitude, such as 300 creates in the viewer. If one believes so strongly in a cause and has the mental/physical ability to fight for it, one will succeed. This is a great way to have the viewer leave after watching the film with more self confidence. So not only can film be used to portray a message, which it typically is but it can be used to lift peoples spirits and or crush them, much like Donnie Darko, where the beloved main character dies at the end. That is why I love to watch and that is what I one day aspire to create and share with the world.
That is all.
