Cinema Paradiso
when it all becomes too hard
and the world closes in on you
walk into the wonder of movies
lose yourself
forget your woes
be transported
in another language
to another country
to another place
for a short time
cry laugh relate be astounded
until the time up whistle blows
and you're back on deck
to fight another round
for another day in the ring
called life
Love that ending - It's like you said, "Get real."
ReplyDeleteEnchanting. Love the final meme.
ReplyDeleteLove the music, and the quote, and what you say ... and indeed yes, the movies!
ReplyDeleteCinema Paradiso is a great movie. I think you would like it.
Deleteha - the boxing ring of life, you have to have a strong spirit and yes, movies are a great escape on those difficult days. But, sometimes I feel like life is a continuous movie.
ReplyDeleteEnthralling!!
ReplyDeleteThat is exactly how I rest and retreat. Into good old movies. Loved this.
ReplyDeleteSo descriptive of the escape we call movies!
ReplyDeleteOh, you have captured why it is so much more than just mere "entertainment"---and that quote you shared at the end is a perfect addition to your words!
ReplyDeleteThe beauty if films is it shows what is possible, that dreams can come true and once you have seen a film you could be a hero too!
