Movies Fetish

I have been watching truckloads of movie. Average of 1.5 per day. I wanted to write an entry based on my thoughts which came in abundance when i watched Jane Austen Book Club. Unfortunately, they've fled my wandering mind since i watched it at 2am and after the first line on blogger, i decidedly went to bed at 4.25am.

Yes, after clubbing fri, sat, wed, I'm staying up late and watching dvds simply because i cannot sleep. Pathetic some may think but i love watching movies. Imagining myself to be characters in the movies, becoming someone i could never become, feeling emotions i might never feel in this short life of mine. There're just so many kinds of people you could be and you only have one life. 70,80 or 90 years just isn't long enough. Even if your mental age could take you far, your mere human physique just wouldn't bring you to all the places you've ever dreamt of. The King's secret lover in 1600s, the Baronet's materialistic wife in 1800s, the farmer's plain hardworking wife in 1900s, a supermodel, a singer, a writer, a politician, a plain jane, a bastard jockey, a ordinary person who has their life on big screen and that's the story for most of the small time movies i've watched.

If your life had to be on the big screens, which story would you choose?
