Happy New Year, all my fellow bloggers and my beloved readers!
I wish you all a magical and inspiring new year!
Well, new year, for most people, it's all about a "fresh start", right?
a start of something new.
So, on the 1-1-11, I'm introducing you a new section of my blog.
It's called "Vissi d'OST".
starting with a question ;
"Have you ever had a song from a movie that you just saw recently stuck in your mind all day? Or some music score that keeps playing over and over in your head and makes you wanna see that movie again?"
some may say 'yes', some may say 'no'.
But for me, it happens to me...most of the time.
"OST" stands for "Original Soundtracks".
So in this section, I'm bringing you songs from various movies. All the songs that have influenced me and inspired me. As you know, I'm a big movie geek and also a music freak. And these 2 things can't be separated.
Songs that the filmmakers wisely put in their films are the most practical tool to capture the atmostphere of some certain scenes so that the viewers can enjoy the feeling conveyed through the acting and dialogues better and easier.
So, here's the first song for this entry : "Come pick me up" from Ryan Adams
One of the collection of freaking good music from the motion picture "Elizabethtown" (2005)
Everyone who has seen "Elizabethtown" must remember this memorable moment when Drew (Orlando Bloom) and Claire (Kirsten Dunst), two lonely stranfers who met on the flight to Elizabethtown, were talking on the phone all night, sharing their stories, getting to know each other. And later, they decided to come out to meet each other at dawn. That's when the song is played. slow melody with the air of country song and with the feeling of loneliness shouting "come pick me up".
Some people might be looking for some kind of therapy for their weary souls.
Some try retrail therapy, letting money wash away all worries. Some try alcohol, letting the chemistry in their body lead them into a wonderland of thousands of fireflies and blur images. Some try music as it's considered the first-aid of all malaises. Some try driving fast car, books, eating, etcetera.
I am also among those "some" who are trying to find a peace of mind. And I've chosen 'film therapy'. To me, I breath inspiration, I live inspiration and I love inspiration! So when there are few to find in real life, I turn to films.
The time when you watch a movie is like spending 2 or 3 hours watching the lives of the others. During that time, you'll be allowed to forget who you are for a moment. At first you'll be left in an exotic land with unfamiliar people and foreign melody in the background. Then, little by little, you'll become accostumed to those people, places and music. You'll hear their words, understand their ideas, and finally learn their lessons. And in the ends those people will lead you back to reality with new concepts in your mind about whatever thing you've been looking for. You'll hear the sound of the ending and it will keep sounding in your head for a long while.
That's the sign of the arrival or inspiration for me. Interesting, isn't it? This kind of therapy.
Now if you are looking for some inspirational movies, I suggest you try "Elizabethtown". Everything is there for you; exotic places, inspiring people and music.
In search of a good soul remedy such as inspiration, you'll need a good map. With one in your hand, you'll never get lost!
"Don't forget, 60B!"
What about you? Tell me in what movie you've been wandering to find inspiration.
