You know, I used to think that movies were usually crazy, as in, crazy things happened that didn’t normally happen in real life, or maybe the average person’s life, but the more I live, the more I’m convinced that I was wrong, really, really wrong, like maybe it’s often the opposite, because it seems that life can be pretty weird and crazy stuff can happen on a regular basis that you wouldn’t think would happen except on TV or in the movies…
I often make references to “my movie” (with apologies to JFA) in which the movie I write will have twisted outcomes to all of the standard movie plots and situations. Actually, I suppose I should start calling it “my film” because it would obviously not be commercially viable. True art rarely is.
Still, now that I firmly believe that everyday situations are just as crazy as the stuff in movies, I start to wonder if even that will be enough…
