Every human has a brain
The brain produces thoughts about the world around and inside the human
The thoughts create emotions that the human experiences
The thoughts become the movie narrator
The emotions create how the human experiences the movie
And the entire drama is very absorbing
Far more absorbing then the designer ever thought it would be
The designer thought that surely the humans would find the watcher
The observer
Inside of them
The designer had installed a hack
A way out of the dream
It was part of the plan
The designer installed the hack carefully of course it wasn’t obvious because that would wreck the magic of the movie experience but surely…
I mean – have you ever been to a movie where a little guy would run down the aisles reminding everyone every ten minutes that it was “just a movie”
No, because that would be distracting
And weird
And you wouldn’t enjoy the movie
But the hack was there
Surely they would find it
But many humans didn’t
Many humans became absorbed into the “game” the “movie”
And they lived their entire lives that way
Never coming out of the cinema
Into the bright sunlight
With goosebumps fading
Saying
“Man, that was a great movie!”
Two great posts in a day!!
Oh I just wrote this now – I was lying in bed thinking of a dear friend that is a bit caught up in his movie at the moment and how I would explain it to him. You know be the little dude running down the aisle with a flashlight yelling “it’s just a movie” and have everyone yell at me for disturbing their experience. 😉
Haha excellent!!
That was interesting, Kate. We are so involved in ourselves. Gotta go out and smell the roses sometimes.
It’s not always roses out here, sometimes it’s dog poo Len, but I’ll take reality over the movie anytime. 😊
This is all too true. A lot of the time my thoughts do get carried away and it’s like I am narrating my very own movie 🎥 Only thing now is the popcorn! 🍿
Popcorn always!! Just remember you get to walk out of the cinema whenever you want – I don’t like the scary bits, that’s when I’m like… hmm wonder where the bathroom is 😂😂
😂😂😂 oh bless! That’s true, we can’t escape our minds, best we can do is wake up from a bad dream, but even then it doesn’t block out the scary thoughts 😝
“Life isn’t like the movies, it needs better writers.”
Not sure who said that, but it’s one of my favorite quotes about movies and your poem reminded me of it.
So true, we often get stuck in our own movies, I’ve had quite a few sad ones that I really could have just got up and left 🤔
We can leave anytime it’s just difficult to see while stuck in there in the dark.
