Just like the movies

So I’ve seen the movies “Fame (2009)”, “The Nanny Diaries” and etc and I’m wondering does life ever imitate art? I mean all these movies so that no matter what the main character will come out on top. Eventually there is a silver lining that, by the time the movie’s over, you’ll see. I mean does things ever really go that way? I remember watching, “Running Scared” and even though Paul Walker got the living ‘ish beat out of him, he STILL made it to the end. All the things that could go wrong in that movie, did, but he still came out a champion. Like serious?!!?

I cant remember watching a movie and feeling yes that’s how life is really like. As I write this I’m browsing my mental trying to remember something in any movie I’ve seen that would change my mind. Yes I get it, I know that we go to the movies so that we can escape reality BUT I would like to feel like I’m not being spoon fed bullsh!t. As I watch movies, my head starts spinning, with questions like is this really possible. I can go from being five minutes away from death and rise (Within an hr) to being the hero, the star of the show?!! 

Do I honestly want the main character to die? Yes! Every once in a while, yes. I want to witness the realness, to hate it, to love it, to understand and process it. Just like with books. I don’t want to ALWAYS read a hood book, why? Because I already know what’s going to happen. I want to be pleasantly surprised. I want to feel as though the author, threw such a monkey wrench into the game that I had NO IDEA, that what just happened, happened. I know I have to be the change that I want to see, So I guess it means Movie’s are next on the agenda? I’ll keep you forever posted!
