People watch movies for a lot of different reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some people watch for the escape. De-stressing after their 9-5 job, and turning their brain \u201coff\u201d with an action flick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other people watch for the artistry. Observing the camera angles, the technicalities of the three acts, or the way the director makes decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I watch movies for a different reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
I love the characters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I watch movies because I want to build more compassion \u2014\u00a0and understand people who are not like me. I want to know how to handle relationships. I want to see how people interact with each other during moments of challenge. And, I want to be inspired by the beauty of having courage to do something risky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some people might think movies are too unrealistic to use as inspiration for our daily lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maybe some are (Can we really be a superhero?). But so many movies have helped me heal my own wounds. And, see through the eyes of others who are wounded \u2014\u00a0and how they heal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here are some of my favorite movies that I watched in 2020 and 2021<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They helped me sympathize, appreciate the human journey, and inspired me to better think about my relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However you watch movies, I hope you find the recommendations above helpful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I love watching movies.
