Writer's Block: Film therapy
Anything Jane Austen-esque calms me down after a crappy day. Pride and Prejudice is like a comfort blanket for me when I'm sad or scared, as is Sense and Sensibility. Even a Lord of the Rings movie, like Return of the King, or a disney movie like The Rescuers or Cinderella makes me feel better because they all RESOLVE in the end. I like resolution. I like happy endings - I find life to be suspensful/scary/sad enough that when I go to be entertained by watching a movie, I want something non-realistic. I want a fairytale. I want happiness, and all of those movies give me that beautifully. Good triumphs over evil, love conquers all, and happiness reigns supreme.
