Movie endings

I hate turning a good movie off when its done. You know the type which invokes deep emotions we don't normally feel whilst we go about our everyday lives. Once the movie is turned off, and the ending soundtrack is replaced by silence, the meaningful moment is abruptly lost. Like an epiphany one has sometimes right before dosing off to sleep, and there's no pen handy, so you just decide you will remember it in the morning. But when morning comes, you have no recollection whatsoever of what it was you had thought of before falling asleep. You knew it was something important, something maybe life-changing at the time, but you push it aside and dismiss it as a nothing.

How many of these 'moments' have we had in our lives that we've never noted down to share with others, or to just reminisce about on a rainy day? Well, I'm 27, and I've decided to write this one down, while the credits of Jerry Mcguire are rolling down my TV screen.

  1. Thanks for the comment on "End Game". PSH has a number of credits, including his latest release, "Doubts". You can see them all on IMDB.com and search him.

    What are you doing in Pakistan?

  2. Yea, I'm thinking of watching 'Doubts', though I don't much like Meryl Streep. Saw 'Capote' last night and it's damn good.

    Regarding what I'm doing in Pakistan, I was born and raised here in the capital, Islamabad. Currently am working with Emaar, a Dubai-based real estate company carrying out a couple of major developments here. Hoping to get outta the country in the near future though, because things ain't lookin' good.

    Good luck with your move to Oregon.
