What we get from movies

What do we think when we watch a movie? We cry, laugh, sometimes feel sad, and are immersed in a variety of emotions. But is that really all? The characters in the movie may even link to our own backgrounds and we may find unexpected commonalities.

To put it dramatically, movies have the magical power to sometimes even completely change people's lives. The possibilities of movies are limitless and infinite.

The cult king, director David Lynch, has made the most of his genius abilities to complete the tale of the interaction between "film and the audience" with the film "Inland Empire" (2006). Like Lynch's previous filmography, this work is characterized by a complex and bizarre style. However, the central theme is quite clear. This is a familiar story about ourselves.

Movies move the hearts of their audiences like magic. The world will look different before and after watching a movie. Even the most serious worries will seem trivial once you encounter a great movie. Sometimes movies even play a role like a bible, influencing the way we live our lives thereafter. Yes, for us, movies are the bible that helps us live our lives more richly.

One of the characters in Inland Empire is a troubled woman just like us, but she too often changes her life forever through the medium of film.

This work is "the story of a woman who found life through movies." I want you to replace the young Polish woman (called the Lost Girl) who appears in this film with yourself. What happens then? Such themes will naturally emerge.

And let's not forget that Lynch himself is one of many people who have found their life through movies. You're probably already aware of the importance of this movie. Movies change lives.
