I could tell you more, I'm sure you have your own list.... life has every bit of drama that we can or cannot handle.... some of us love our lives, are content with it or wish it were better....

I guess the trouble with real life is that may be it doesn't measure up to the movies...but may be its not supposed to...... some one once said 'the trouble with real life is that its nothing like the movies'....

Movies are exaggerated emotions portrayed through the medium of a vision of how a life should be/ is/ or was. Its a story inspired by life.

We create in movies , what seem unachievable otherwise, we write stories of fantasy, romance, intrigue, superhero's etc. because perhaps all these are needed to tone down the harsh realities or they are viewed as unreasonable solutions. Movies portray idealism and yet stay true to reality in story telling , making it almost poetic , just to seem reachable or achievable.They remind us to rise to the challenge, they inspire- to dream, to love , to forgive, they show us the drawbacks of war, pain, misery and suffering, they show that crime doesn't pay, they show families, friendship, trust, loyalty, respect. They show anger, hatred, jealousy. They show lust , envy, greed, anxiety. They show horror, laughter, action, drama. They show happy endings, they teach lessons, give morals, messages. A movie experience is a getaway from life , or is it?



Movies and reality two very distant cousins..... but related nonetheless.
Just a thought.

In the words of Truman upon exiting 'The Truman Show'- 'In case I don't see ya, Good afternoon, good evening and good night'

Smooth

Man it's a hot one
Like seven inches from the midday sun
I hear you whispering the words that melt everyone
But you stay so cool
My muñequita, my Spanish harlem mona lisa
You're my reason for reason
The step in my groove

And if you said this life ain't good enough
I would give my world to lift you up
I could change my life to better suit your mood
Cause you're so smooth

And its just like the ocean under the moon
Well it's the same as the emotion that I get from you
You got the kind of lovin that can be so smooth
Give me your heart, make it real
Or else forget about it

I'll tell you one thing
If you would leave it would be a crying shame
In every breath and every word, I hear your name is callin' me out, yeah
Out from the barrio, you hear my rhythm on your radio
You feel the turning of the world so soft and slow
Turning you round and round
And if you said this life ain't good enough
I would give my world to lift you up
I could change my life to better suit your mood
'Cause your so smooth

And it's just like the ocean under the moon
Well it's the same as the emotion that I get from you
You got the kinda lovin' that can be so smooth, yeah
Give me your heart, make it real
Or else forget about it


Or else forget about it...
Or else forget about it...
Or else go and forget about it...
Give me your heart, make it real
Or else forget about it, oh oh now let's go and forget about it...
Or else forget about it, oh oh now let's go and forget about it...
Now now now, let's go and forget about it...

Thank You Rob Thomas and Carlos Santana.
