The Powerful Influence of Movies 🎥🍿on Me

Since my childhood, #movies have had a profound impact on my thoughts, emotions, and perceptions. As storytelling mediums, they possess an unparalleled ability to transport me to different worlds, evoke a wide range of feelings, and shape my understanding of various aspects of life. With this blog, while I explore the multifaceted ways movies influenced my mind, I would also generalise the #blog and write on behalf of all movie lovers. In the end, I will also share a few great memories I have with them, so stay tuned!

The Emotional Connection

With their unique power to stir our emotions, a film has made us all laugh, cry, feel inspired, or experience a rollercoaster of emotions within a matter of hours. Through the combination of visual storytelling, powerful performances, and impactful scores, we empathize with the characters and their journeys. We experience those #emotions vicariously, leaving a lasting impact on our psyche. Sometimes they have also made us a drama queen. As I remember, in childhood, every time I cried, I would look at the sky and mutter, "God". IDK from where did I learn it but it was definitely from a movie.

Shaping Perceptions and Beliefs

Beyond entertainment, movies have also shaped our perceptions and beliefs about various social, cultural, and political issues. They have challenged our existing beliefs, exposed us to different perspectives, or reinforced certain viewpoints. From thought-provoking dramas that tackle complex social issues to historical epics that provide a glimpse into the past, movies have the potential to broaden our horizons and influence our worldviews. To quote this even more I would mention the #Animal movie which has made us all brainstorm and sway between good and bad.

Inspiring Dreams and Aspirations

For many of us, movies have also served as a source of inspiration, igniting our dreams and aspirations. A powerful cinematic story about overcoming adversity, pursuing one's passions, or achieving greatness can motivate us to chase our own goals and aspirations. These films can instil a sense of hope, determination, and resilience, encouraging us to push beyond our limitations and strive for more. one great example of such a movie is #12thfail.

Influencing Behavior and Decision-Making

The impact of movies on our minds can extend beyond the emotional and intellectual realms. Research has shown that movies can influence our behaviour and decision-making processes. For instance, after watching a film that promotes positive values or showcases heroic actions, individuals may be more likely to exhibit similar behaviours or make ethical choices in their own lives. This phenomenon highlights the potential of movies to shape societal norms and collective consciousness.

My Movie Memories

We have a love for movies running in our blood in my family. My father left this world 24 years ago and still, I recall going to movies with him. Even those are the best memories I have of him. he used to surprise us all with movie treats. Going to book tickets and bringing them physically, getting us all ready, combing my hair, and then singing the songs of that movie to even increase our excitement. The last movie we watched together was #Humsathsathhain. Ironical, No?

My Bua stayed with us for her post-graduation and she too was a movie lover. She was a very caring and loving person and we used to go with her also for movies. Her favourite was #madhuridixit and so is her name. We went last with her to watch #diltohpagalhai before she married.

As we grew, I and my sister started marking favourites of actors. My sister became a die-hard fan of #Hritikroshan and she would do anything to watch his movies. I am a #Kareenakapoorkhan fan. Whenever their movies would come, my mother used to take us to movie theatres and continued the ritual my father built of surprise movie treats.

😅 Once I remember, I fell off the cycle rikshaw while going to watch #Krish movie 🍿

As a content creator and an avid movie watcher, I am continuously fascinated by the profound impact that movies can have and had on my mind. Whether it's evoking powerful emotions, challenging my beliefs, inspiring dreams, or influencing my behaviours, the cinematic experience has left an indelible mark on my psyche. It's a testament to the enduring power of storytelling and the ability of movies to connect with us on a deep, emotional level.
