Escape to the movies

Written by Sean on Monday, October 17, 2005

I just came back from the movies. I had a little bit over two hours of bliss, not thinking about the transabled thing, or anything else. It’s been a long time since I got so engrossed a movie. Coming back to the surface, however, was a bit of a shock.

It was, like, for two hours, I was immersed in another world, and completely disconnected from my reality. And suddenly, someone poured ice cold water all over me, rude awakening.

I used to go to the movies a lot as a teenager and in my early 20’s. It was a perfect escape, other than eating into my grocery money! I could be going to the movies 4, sometimes 5 times every week. Sometimes even more. I’d have seen everything that would be out. Everything, good or bad. Always a step ahead of the demons chasing me.

I do go to the movies once in a while. But it usually doesn’t capture me as much as it did today. Perhaps I just needed to let go and really sink into the movie world, I don’t know.

Escapism is not really a long term solution to anything, but sometimes, it helps, just a little bit.

Reading is good along those lines too. If you pick the right book. But sometimes, even though you’re reading, it’s still nagging you behind the brains somewhere or other.

Anyway, just had to share, I had a good time at the movie, and it was rough coming back to the “real” world. But I did, and here I am, escaped for a few hours, but the demons are still there, waiting for me firmly.

BTW, the movie was “World’s fastest Indian”
