I am a complete movie buff.I should say watching movies is more than my hobby.I like any movie with an acceptable story line.But I hate movies that would make me feel down. If a movie create a depressing hangover, no matter how brilliant the direction, narration or technology, I don't want to watch it.I feel such movies would poison my thoughts.I will not recommend such movies to others as well.
Do you know movies communicate directly with your subconscious mind? When you watch a movie in a big 70mm screen with the accompanying sound effects in a closed environment, you are completely under the spell of the movie. You tend to imbibe the subtle concepts that are blind to your conscious mind, at a subconscious level.In other words, you cannot make a conscious choice of accepting or rejecting an idea that is conveyed in the movie.For instance, if you watch a scene of the antagonist killing innocent people, you tend to relate yourself with the victims.You will feel as if you are one of the victims.This impact is also long lasting.You will be in the same frame of mind for two or three days. If the idea and the portrayal is powerful, it can even last for months or years and more often than not, it becomes permanent.
If this is the case with adults, then imagine the impact of bad movies on children.The children could perceive the bad situations and people that are portrayed on the movies as real.It can make a permanent dent in their attitude, feeling and personality. So encourage your children to watch movies that would promote peace, happiness and well-being.Ensure that you and your family watch movies that only make you feel good.
