I love films that make you think, or make you view the world a bit differently for that small moment of time, or perhaps they change your whole perspective on something. Big, expensive action films where they just blow stuff up and kill everything in sight are great, but they don't make such an impact on me. I'm not sure what it is, perhaps I just like seeing the directors influence, or the writers ideas on how something might be. Lets take the film The Beach with Leonardo DiCaprio; as someone who's loved the idea of adventure and exploration ever since being a child, this film really played to that part of me. After finishing it I was eager to ditch everything and catch the next plane ticket to Thailand. And perhaps you could argue it was partly that film that has encouraged me to take a gap year, and hopefully explore many of the secluded beaches of Thailand. I think that films mean different things for everyone, and sometimes they just play on a part of you, and maybe sometimes they'll play hard enough to make you do something, like quit that job you've never enjoyed and go become a professional dancer. I think it's how they have affected the creative aspect of me that makes me so eager to follow it through as a career.
