A Life-Changing Scene

There are many events that stand out in our lives that were remarkable and helped us grow stronger. One of these events stands out in particular to me and had the greatest impact on my life. Since the beginning of the human existence, the human has been scrutinizing for different ways for relaxation. He has been looking for something to get him out if his exhausting daily day to day routine. Cinema has come forward as a great way to do so since around it began.

At first movie houses were the only way to get access to movies but now with television, cable TV and internet watching movies became easier and getting access to the movies on our cell phones is so easy nowadays as we can watch them just about anywhere and anytime.

In one of my previous blogs I discussed the relationship between audience and characters, today I will specifically talk about how can one of the movie scenes or the movie itself change your life. Whenever we see certain experiences and incidences shown in a film that we can relate to, our brain automatically send signals and manipulates our emotions so we naturally get influenced by them. We even idealize characters and storylines from the movies. 

Knowing that man have this tendency of adopting the way of talking, walking and behaving of the character they have idealized, the movies always leave a mark in our minds. This notion is more popular among the people with massive grasping power as they want to imitate and copy everything they see and at the same time adapt it to their lives.

Now Imagine your life as an epic movie and within this narrative, there are numerous high points and low points, and a lot of drama there are coming-of-age moments and passages of growing older. With a lot of real challenges, and even moments when you think you won’t be able to make it. The movie will have some bad scenes influencing your emotions and destroying it but also there will be scenes of joy and achievement. 

The only difference between your life and the movie is that sooner or later your life will come to an end, the same thing with every movie but as for movies, there are hundreds of remakes.

So Where do these scripts and scenes come from? 

I will tell you; they come from writers and directors, who both determines the timeline, plotting, and sequence of the movie events.

Another question how do you think they wrote and planned it?

Let me answer this question as well, both of them went through a lot in their lives which made them capable of writing and directing a movie with such senses that could change yours, with scenes and stories that not that far from the ones you are currently living and going through.  

But who directs the movie of your life? Well, of course, you do. So here’s the interesting theory: in the movie of your life, what happens when something goes wrong? What happens when an unexpected challenge appears?

I believe that nowadays your life and mine isn’t determined by chance, but through our choices which sometimes movies help in, by interacting to a scene or incidents happening in common in our lives and in the movie.

let's not be harsh on ourselves and overthink it, life indeed is a box of chocolates! You never really know what you’ll get.

Here are some scenes that changed lives:

The Pianist

There is always reason for hope in the darkest times — for famous musician Wladyslaw Szpilman, it was his ability to play piano that kept him sane. Everyone, no matter what side they’re on, recognizes the ability of art to lift the human spirit beyond itself.

Life is Beautiful

When Guido and his son are separated from his wife during World War II in a concentration camp, Guido makes his son believe that survival in the camp is a game in this hilarious scene. The film speaks to the beauty of optimism in the direst circumstances.

El-Khaliyyah  "بجد fighter انتي بميت راجل"

When Ahmed Ezz attends Amina Khalils seminar and comes to know that the woman he loves is a cancer servavior and that she went through a lot seeing in her the loving, caring and strong wife that he wishes.
