Men and women alike get emotional when they watch certain types of movies and shows. Movies have a way of affecting the way we feel. They can stimulate unpleasant thoughts of the past or inspire us with hope for the future.
When you are watching a love story unfolding in a cottage beside a peaceful lake, the scenery combines with the story plot tend to remind us of the first time we fell in love. Scenes like this tend to make us reflect on the first boyfriend or girlfriend you ever had and on the value we once place on small things in a relationship.
A good love story is not always about falling in love. Sometimes they are about breaking apart as two people find themselves entangled in a web of deceit and amidst unpleasant circumstances. Hollywood movie makers understand the emotional connection people have to movies in general and will most often base a movie on the broadest range of true possibilities.
Have you ever watched a movie where a particular type of crime took place? It could be a plot of drama wherein a group of adolescent teenagers or young adults are steeling cars, or burglarizing homes. If you have ever had a car stolen in real life, a movie such as this will cause the same emotional anger to resurface.
Comedy or funny movies remind us of the fun times in life. Very often, they take us back to a time when we were involved in something crazy too. It could be as simple as watching the movie Revenge of the Nerds where one college pranks after another was played on a group of nerdy students or as simple as remembering how much fun you had when you play hooky as illustrated in the movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
Why do moves evoke emotional power over us? There are many reasons. Perhaps the great of all is that most scripted films are based on real life scenarios, regardless of how comical or horrible they may be. It is this emotional connection that makes us sit for hours on end each month watching our favorite movies.
Good movies not only take us back in time, they also inspire us to reach for better things in the future too. They have a tendency to make us feel warm and hopeful when you watch a person achieve enormous success against all odds. After all, who does not like an underdog?
Movies will always have a place in the American way of life. They will continue to make us laugh and sometimes cause us to shed a tear or two. Either way, movies have the power to make us reflect on what is considered important and to muse over what has been less significant as we watch one movie at a time.
