On Friday night, people usually go on dates, grab some food with friends or just have fun outside. However, me, name given is Puteri Nur Farah prefer to microwave some popcorn and scroll through the internet for hours in search for movies to watch. I would say myself as an ambivert, someone who is a little of both introvert and extrovert. I don’t shy away from attention, I enjoy being in crowd, or group event for hours but when the limit is hit I start to shut down and be quiet, wanting the comfort of home.
With a warm bowl of popcorn and a movie set on my phone screen, I watch my all-time favorite time traveling movie called ‘About Time’. This movie intrigued me due to the fact that I wish I could time travel, as mistakes always been a part of me. If there is ever a chance go back in time to change my destiny but with my current memories still intact, so I don’t make the same mistakes, I would, I mean who wouldn’t? It is not that I’m unhappy with the 23-year-old life that I have right now but I feel that my life can get way better at this point of time if I did some tweaks. Well, that would never happen and after all it is never too late to change myself for the better.
In the topic of movie, a movie with confusing and twisted plots also been my go to. Their suspense and tension keeps me on my toes; it puzzles and confuse me, but keeps me watching until the very end. It makes me think, doubt and come up with my own conclusions while watching it. I judge the movie by a jaw drop factor, if it occurs, I know I’ve seen a good movie and will talk about it for at least a week. One of the movie that made my jaw dropped twice is ‘Before I Go To Sleep’, it is amazing how the director could control my thoughts away from guessing who is the culprit in the end. Nevertheless, how twisted and illogical the movie can get, I can still tolerate it rather than movies such as Star Wars, Lord of The Ring, Star Trek and Harry Potter. As it is a bit too unrealistic for my cup of tea but it is understandable why most people love that genre of movie as it feasts the vision with advance visual effects.
Regardless, we all watch movies as a way to escape and distract ourselves. Considering sometimes life could be draining and we just need to get away from everything for a while. As well as, us human tend to be curious and wanted to know and experience different thoughts, different lifestyles, life as different individuals in different situations. Thus, for two hours’ movies can take us to a new kind of world, also broadening our perspective and opening our eyes to new wonders.
