After seeing Manchester By The Sea, Arrival, and La La Land in theaters, I've been seeing a pattern. And this is a new pattern, because this is the first period of my life where I'm seeing smaller movies in theaters.
After the film ends, I start to feel bummed out. Why? Because something happens that whiplashes me back into reality instantly, ranging from a phone call from my mother, or a friendly face saying hi at the theater. When I saw La La Land, for example, I was in that world for two hours and I didn't want to leave. I felt like Ryan Gosling in that small theater. I felt like I was able to dance, sing, and fall in love with Emma freakin Stone. I felt the magic that Sebastian felt. And when that reality hit, I was bummed. Because my life is nothing compared to the life I just felt I had in the world of La La Land.
Anyone else feel this way, or is this just a really depressing attribute of my life? Hopefully the former, but I'll take both.
