A Movie That Has Stayed With Me #WriteAPageADay #pebbleinwaterswrites @blogchatter

I kept walking on new paths.  Some new memories were added on every path.  Every time some old memories faded away.  The details got mixed with the dates in the past.  Some people who had ever met, when? I don't remember now this properly.  Some faces were remembered and context were forgotten about them.  Some context were remembered and faces were forgotten. Some people I don't remember at all. Neither faces, nor words.  Some memories got entangled in the jungle of confusion. The meeting of some seemed like a solution to many problems.  I joined some memories and became a part of them.  Some memories dissolved in me and became a part of me. The same holds true for movies. When an artist lives a character in a movie, how well he lives that character depends on his ability.

The story and direction also play a prominent role.  All in all, when all these features are coordinated in a balanced way in a right equation in a movie, then that movie has a special effect on our heart and mind.  This is the reason that some people, some movies, some places, some events, and some stories we remember for many years and some we forget immediately.  Do we consciously ignore some things and pay too much attention to others?  I believe that only one story or movie should always be with us, it is not possible. It has to be many that keep changing dynamically depending on mood, circumstances, etc. Our memories are like running water.  Many movies secretly make a deep impact on our character and we are not aware.

According to a research, after watching a movie, we forget about 40 percent in just three hours.  And by the coming nine months, we are unable to remember more than 20 percent.  This percentage can be higher if we watch the same movie again after some time.  What are your thoughts about these ideas and views?
