The Different Kind

I am a movie buff, but a different kind of one. Yes!There is another kind. There must be since I exist (something I am not about to doubt about). While the typical movie buff attacks the cinemas like there is no tomorrow or even just later, I belong to the type who feels the reel and shares the life of every persona highlighted in each flick that I get to watch. That is the kind of movie buff that I am.

Personally, I love watching movies the same way that I read books. Both media transport me to a different life in a different time with different people. Although I enjoy the written form more because of its free interpretative nature, which gives my brain ample reason to work and utilize its function, the motion picture version gives me ample form of entertainment. However, going to the movies on a social basis is not my cup of tea simply because I get too carried away, they say. It is not too much for me though. When I watch a movie, I feel as if I am a part of every scene and a friend to every character considering the fact that I get privy to every single move it makes and every single thought that crosses its mind. When the people on the screen laugh, I laugh. When they cry, I cry. I am that kind of movie buff.
