Movies we love & who we are ...

After the Bangkok trip, Eye Candy is officially part of our group. Well he noticed we spent much time watching movies &  talking about movies & he said 'the movies we love & admired are to some extent a function of who we are when we see them. Hmmm a pretty astute observation. 

We love the Avengers & Ironman movies. Closer examination of the films themselves leads one to believe that the appeal goes deeper than a basic need for entertainment. Though enhanced by super powers or abilities, the superhero as portrayed in today’s films displays an astonishing level of humanity. Audiences watch superhero characters cope with the human experience through these films, an experience with which audience members can identify. Viewers see a part of their own reality on the big screen through superhero characters. This is what makes the characters so relatable and inspirational to the viewer.

That's Eye Candy's take. I have to say I'm impressed. But for me, it's pretty simple. I like the humor & special effects. Why Ironman is my favorite, he's funny, unapologetic, genius & a billionaire plus Robert Downey Jr is simply my favorite actor. Then there's the 21 Jump Street & Magic mike movies. Boy we love those too- one reason only - Channing Tatum ....lol...
