Sunday with Movie

I find the title rhymes with a popular book 'Tuesday with Morrie' and that was why I named it this way. It is always nice to spend a Sunday on the beach, chilling with friends over beer. My Sunday started with a movie very early in the morning, to be more precise it was midnight. Big Fish by Tim Burton and music by my favourite movie sound tracks composer Danny Elfman. This movie was filmed exactly ten years ago and watching it again was perhaps a celebration? This is a rather philosophical piece filled with moments that make you think. I do not know how to appreciate very deep movies so I do not find them very appealing to me because I am not sure if they are really that deep or just pretending to be one when it was not necessarily so. 

There are various types of movies and each of them is unique in nature. Like any other form of art, it takes your mind away, gets into a world that might exist somewhere in the universe and brings you back at the end. However, not all of the movies can do that. 

Things are different when you look at it at different times, with a different mood, or with a different person, etc. The context affect the impact of the piece of art instead of the art itself but I think if that piece of art can make you look at it again, and again, it would not be a bad one. 

I was not majored in cinematography but I have always loved the making-of and behind-the-scenes of a production. The approaches and styles of different directors and production designers fascinate me. I cannot wait to share more on films, movies, cartoons - the world of moving pictures! And yes, the story always counts.

A man tells so many stories, that he becomes the stories. They live on after him, and in that way he becomes immortal.                        - Will Bloom, <Big Fish>
