Cinematic Side-Effects

I watch a lot of english movies. Mostly on television, and quite a lot of them. So its this effect that movies often leave us with, though mostly for just a short span of time.

The "Rocky-Effect" - Oh God! You watch this movie, and you feel like you have to start exercising somehow!! If he can do it, so can we!! Yeah! Straight to exercising after closing down the television. No more cola, chips and junk food. We gotta have some abs!! Gotta wake up at 6am. The alarms rings for sure, but who can get up at 6am. And when we get up at 8 or 9am, and we tell ourselves - Maybe tomorrow will be a better day. So, this one pretty much gets dropped out after a week or so.

The Motivational Movies effect - These are the people rising from the ordinary to do something extraordinary. And the nominees for this category are - Jerry Maguire, Lakshya, The Insider, A Beautiful Mind etc.etc. Even rocky can be strictly classified here. These movies leave you with a feeling that you gotta do something worth remembering in your life. Ehhhhh, lets move on to the next.

The Love Effect - Hehehe! Movies that leave you wondering, would there ever be such dramatic love in your life. Would you cross the boundaries of time to meet your love - Kate and Leopold. Why didnt you fall in true love at the age on 12 - Sweet Home Alabama. Who would you return to meet if you died this instant - Ghost. Well many more to name them actually but they all make you feel the same sometimes - trashy. Hmmmm, well, yeah, whatever.

And then you got movies that have specific triggers. For example - watching con movies makes me think why didnt I take up science as a subject, I think I got most qualities right to be a hacker or a survelliance guy. And how about space movies where I wish I was some how involved in searching out alien life forms in the universe (CONTACT), or even being a space scientist. Well time's up. I gotta go, will try to think about them and finish this later.
