 |
|
| (Up front, I admit this post may not work here but it seemed too undefined in any other category on the forums, so I'm placing it here.) It's like, whenever I watch or read or anything, I don't perceive it like others, like say I watch "Silent Running"(excellent film by the way), then it's like I go into it, or am nonjudgmental, or something, I don't even know how to say what's going on, it's like a swirl of thoughts like "outside of reality and fiction, which don't even come into play", "realism and silliness", "inherent ridiculousness" by others, meaning and metaphysics of media, I can't explain it. All I know is it's been bugging me for the past few months, and i have no solution, and nobody I talk to can help. Is it a distortion of something in my brain? Is it taking stuff seriously where others don't? Is it me unable to adapt and survive amongst people? |

Do you have the same problem describing an event that occurred in real life, like something you saw at work or a conversation you had earlier in the day you're relating to another person?

No, not really, as far as I can tell. Tough relating it to other persons, yes. |

I suppose you might be distracted by things like mood, lighting, soundtrack, etc... in movies that keep it from being a 'real' experience, so trying to keep track of what's going on is like keeping your eye on the right card as it moves around in a 3 card monty game. It might just be a matter of keeping your attention on the character's actions and forming a sequence of events; what did he do, what is he doing now, and what will he do next?

Well, that's the thing, i don't have problems with movies being kept from a "real" experience, it's the thing about that they automatically become real, and then having to deal with people who, I don't even know how the post turned into this. I'm so confused. |
