With movies you learn about yourself or at least you feel like you do.
I mean I know what I'd do if someone talked about faking orgasms in a crowded diner or leading 300 Spartans into battle against Persia.
I know what I'd do if I was caught in a street brawl with Gary Busey on Danny Glover's front lawn.
I know what I'd do imprisoned in castle with a grumpy beast who just needs love and DEFINITELY know what I'd do if I was on top of a speeding subway train with Dennis Hoper and fighting for the trigger mechanism to a bomb!
More than likely, none of this would ever happen to me, but it's always good to be prepared for extreme situations. It's good to just escape for a couple of hours and not think (unless you're looking at a Christopher Nolan movie).
What I love about movies is they give me a love for storytelling; an eye for what works with an audience and what doesn't; and hope that one day I can inspire with words and have those words made into images with people I only read about while waiting for the clerk to get a price check on the Oreos that were supposed to be on sale!
