Hey, I'm no movie guru who watches dozens of movies each week. I typically watch one movie per 3 months, most of the time I find myself spending more time browsing the best movie to watch than actually watching a movie. This logic is great. Let me just address this quickly that this is just my opinion and that I'm no expert in this field, but just a regular consumer of movies. Anyways, what I did learn from the limited movies I've watched is that point of viewers matter. It matters A LOT or at least more than I thought it would be. What I mean is that most of the time we are given villains who in the beginning seems to be acting out of pure evil because they were born evil, but later on into the movie, it is revealing of their past story that made them this way. This is the part where the audience starts to empathize or sympathize with the villain. We realize that they are still just as human as we are, just under different circumstances that made them this way. But what if the movie didn't show that? Like in real life? We all have those times when we are caught up in some event or issue that makes the other party seems absolutely horrible and it seems like they are out to make our lives horrible. But we aren't shown a montage of their life, nor their past that led up to the point that they cause misfortune to you. We aren't given dialogue that the "villain" says that makes you understand them. in real life, we are only given our point of view, and we believe that is the only point of view that exists. This is what watching movies have taught me, to look for the other side and understand where they're coming from. I think this can be applied to relationships between people. Just being aware that the other person may have a reason to act the way they do without needing to live their life or being shown a speed-up clip of their life with sad music playing in the background. When I thought about that, it reminded me of my relationship with my mother. Sometimes I felt that she enjoyed seeing me suffer but when I slowly grew older and figure out bits and pieces of her life before I was born, I saw how she was raised and her environment that she was in. It made it easier to understand. So yeah, what I learned from watching movies was that it visually taught me that everyone had their own world that we don't necessarily see, but it's not necessary to in order to find common ground.
