The beauty of Ignorence
When first started my voyage into this world of movie critiquing I was ignorant and in complete bliss. I say movies as they were, never questioned them, unless they were completely horrendous. And always understood their plot and scenes. But with this newly acquired knowledge, I'll never go back to to my former bliss. School is a curse for those of the simple mind. It brings new ideas and creates knowledge where ever you look. You can't look at a light without the knowledge of its inner workings flashing through your mind. Just as now I can't watch a movie without acknowledging the camera angle, contrast of the shot, seeing recurring themes or just thinking in general. I watch movies now and compare and contrast, where before I only saw the things I wanted and enjoyed it for what it was, brain numbing. i don't hate my new gift if you will, but i don't love leaving my old life behind. I know I will one day love this talent and flourish in it but with this change I am missing the beauty of Ignorance.
