Over the past little while I've had the opportunity to watch several films of various genres and among some of my most favourite recently have been the indie film variety. Oddly enough, as I've been watching these indie films and they have a remarkable similarity to some of the British movies I've been watching as well. Maybe I've been watching British indie films, I really don't know. In any case, I think British movies are the new indie film, at least for us over here in the American continent. There's something so wonderful about the movies I've been watching. They all have this attitude of I don't need to prove anything to anyone so we're gonna make a movie that you'll enjoy just as much as we enjoyed making it. They all also have this same indie film sort of mood to them, so having said that I think my new favourite genre is the British indie film genre, often overlooked but I just like the movies because they're just quality movies not muddled down by the billion dollar hollywood industry.
I think that's something I'm gonna apply more to my life, I'm gonna do things not to impress people but because I enjoy doing it. It's something I've done in the past but I guess I kind of forgot a little. So I guess it's a challenge to anyone who reads this blog, start doing things because you enjoy doing it, not out of habit or out of pressure. Try to find the little things in life that really make you happy and pursue them, you never know what sorts of surprises you might find in the adventure.
Last little quote from one of the characters in a movie I watched today,
Love is there if you want it to be, you just have to see that it's wrapped in beauty and hidden away
between the seconds of your life. If you don't stop for a minute you might miss it" - Ben Willis
