How Movies Can Strongly Enhance Your Life
I am very happy to report that the movie theater that has been under construction for the largest time has finally been completed. Now I will be able to walk over to the movie theater and watch movies whenever I please. One of my favorite hobbies is to watch movies. If I could, I would watch movies all day long, every day.
There is something about watching a movie that most people find particularly fascinating. It takes you away from the normal humdrum existence of boring everyday life and transports you to a wonderful world beyond anything you’ve ever imagined. Movies have been around for a long time, and as long as they’ve been making them, people have enjoyed them.
Of course, we haven’t always been able to watch movies. Before movies, and even before books, people would simply tell stories. Back in the old days, every village would have it’s resident story teller, that would be responsible for keeping track of the village history through the telling and retelling of stories.
If you look at many different stories from different cultures, and even from different times, you’ll notice something really amazing. A lot of these stories have the same basic overall structure to them. They are usually centered around a character that starts of like a normal person, but has to go through a significant change. In the course of the story, the main character usually makes new friends, and learns how to defeat a new enemy.
This structure has been documented many times, probably most notable in Joseph Campbell’s “The Power Of Myth.” In this book he illustrated how many myths from many different cultures share some of the basic structural elements. It is great evidence that humans are much more similar than different.
Whether you are studying ancient mythology, or simply spending an afternoon at your local movie theater, never underestimate the power of the movie to entertain and give you guidance on some of life’s most difficult challenges.
