Hello, everyone.
I welcome you to my blog. For so many people movies are just for fun; no lesson is to be learned from them, so they just watch them for the fun of it and follow up on only the action part of the movie without getting a single message or lesson from the movie. As a child I was always like that too; all I cared about was the action and would always fast forward to the action part, leaving and skipping every part where a conversation was held between characters, but those conversations between characters are where those lessons are embedded. The action part of a movie comes with little or no lesson at all, but those conversations between characters carries all the message.
Watching movies just for the action and the fun of it will cause you to miss out on important messages that can actually help you do life. Lessons and sayings I have heard from movies have helped put me on the right track; they have also helped me make adjustments where I needed to make some. Imagine I had skipped the conversation part for the action part; I would have missed out on those lessons and those words, and I would have made no adjustments at all.
I have seen a lot of movies as a child and while growing up, but like I said, I just skipped to the action part and did not get any message, but I got to rewatch them as an adult, and now things are completely different. When you see movies because of the action and for the fun of it, that can stop you from getting the message you need to pick up. A combination of watching a movie both for the action and the fun of doing so and with the mindset that the movie has a message for you will help you pay more attention so you don't miss the message.
I have watched the movie Spider-Man over 20 times, or even more than that, but I never let myself watch the part where Uncle Ben died, but I recently rewatched it, and this time I let myself watch that part, and before Uncle Ben died, he told Peter Parker (Spider-Man) that "with great power comes great responsibility." Just those words shaped Spider-Man's mind and gave him direction. He knew at that point what he should be doing with the power he had at his disposal, there are many people with so much power at their disposal but they keep shying away from those responsibilities. I don't know if I should say it is my favorite movie at the moment, but I think those words from Uncle Ben are deep, and I have missed them all these years.
