Escapism

Monday, March 31st, 2008 | Movies

When I watch a movie, it’s usually because I want to be entertained. I want to immerse myself in another world, another plotline, another story. And when I come back from that other place, I want to feel better, more positive, or at least more thoughtful for the experience. I want movies to leave me with a smile for some reason or another.

I just finished watching No Country For Old Men, and I can honestly say that I found no form of escapism. I’m no more thoughtful because of it, it’s certainly not a happy movie, and I feel no positive repercussions from it.

I’m certainly not smiling…
