Transitioning And The Silver Screen
Some of you may remember the post I wrote some time ago when I became totally immersed in a "chick flick".
The moment was one of the first I can remember.
As with most of my life these days the moment went by and I gave it very little extra thought.
Since then chick flicks have been an afterthought until this morning. I was working on my book and catching up on emails and I had the television on in the background. A classic "40's" movie was on and I don't really know who was in it.
What did happen was I slowly became drawn in to what the women in the movie were feeling. I was empathizing with their relationships and lives without even thinking about it.
All of a sudden my new fascination with characters on the silver screen became clearer than a high definition big screen. I was watching from a female point of view. Not as a man relating to a woman or even wanting to be her. No, I was feeling her emotions towards men, other women and life.
Wow! What a revelation!
