Hollywood Gets Personal!

Did you miss me? You know you did! I know what you are thinking...why is she so late...or better yet, Ummm, does she really think we care? Who is this person? Whatever your thoughts may be...I just have to tell you in blog person that...SAL is finally back!

Yesterday I saw a very sad and disturbing movie. If anyone has not seen THE CHANGELING, it is in my best authority to recommend avoiding this movie at all costs. The movie was morbid, depressing, and dark. After watching it in my parents house, I went home and could not sleep. I tossed and turned all night, while my brain was racing with a million thoughts per second. I was so wrapped up around the plot of this sickening movie, that I somehow encompassed the movie's reality with my own. As humans we tend to do this often. What you say? Well we get so involved with the movies that we watch, we feel like we know the characters. We second handedly experience their emotions, simply by listening to their story. I just don't see why I can't separate the two emotions. As soon as I see a sad movie, my mood changes and I feel strange and I can't figure out why I have resorted to such feelings of melancholy and depression. It is at this point -- when I begin to wonder, "Sal, what's wrong with you?" I actually say this out loud and then get uneasy. Where has my sanity gone? Why am I talking to myself? Does a silly movie really have this much power over me? The worst part -- can you guess it? Well, the worst part is that I never learn from my mistakes. Sal gets sucked in another movie and briefly loses touch with her reality once again. Now, I can hear all the cynics who think I am crazy. I know what you are thinking, but I know there are people like me out there. I know that I am not the only "science project" that feels this way. ;)

Even though I saw this movie last night, I can not get the images out of my head. I don't understand people who kill others, for no reason other than boredom. I don't understand the mechanics of how these people think and live. And although, I prefer not to understand, the very thought of it spikes up my curiosity and angers me at the same time. In all--sure I may have exaggerated--but that's me, I am a drama queen and I can't help but feel the way that I do. I am me--and these are my thoughts. Til next time...Sal is out!
