Movie


If you could make a movie about your life so far, what kind of movie would you make? Let's assume that you could get media of your whole past so you could pick any scenes from it into your movie - if you wanted. Would you make it a comedy? Tragedy? Adventure? Drama? Or something else? In what kind of light would you show yourself in that movie? Hero? Victim? Wanderer? Which events from the past would you highlight in that movie? Which events you would choose not to use? What kind of music would be playing on the background? Would you show that movie to anyone? Would seeing that movie make the viewer understand you better?

That's what I was wondering today. Here's how my movie would look like: Type of the movie would be music video, showing memorable scenes from my life while at the same time I would be walking outside in nature, in present moment. I'm not sure in what kind of light I would seem to the viewer of that movie - perhaps all those three above mentioned roles depending on a scene. Which events would I choose? Well, I started writing them in chronological order but then I decided that it was better not to list them here. Partly because the list was getting big and also short descriptions would not really tell much about them.

Which events I would choose not to use? I am not sure if there's really anything I would not want to show. Of course most scenes that I would choose would mostly be memorable in terms of pleasure or flip side of the same coin. What comes to music there were several songs in my mind when I was visioning movie in my head. Here is a list of songs that would definetely be played, perhaps giving you some taste about the presentation:

Aerosmith - Crazy
Alphaville - Forever Young
Billy Idol - Rebel Yell
Celine Dion - Je Sais Pas
Darude - Sandstorm

Pretenders - I'll Stand By You
Pride - Opening Theme
REM - Everybody Hurts
REM - Losing My Religion
R Kelly - If I Could Turn Back The Time
Robert Miles - Children

Tasmin Archer - Sleeping Satelite

The Rasmus - In The Shadows
Tom Petty - Into The Great Wide Open

Would I show this movie to anyone? Yes, to those who would like to see it. Would seeing it make the viewer understand me better? I guess in some ways it could - depending how well viewer could really get into it and how well the viewer could put away his/her old impressions about me. If watching that movie would generate tears or a smile I would have managed to put the story on the screen the way I experienced it.
