Watch Me: The Romantic and symbolical semantics

Readying myself for a binge of animated movies couldn't have prepared me more to dip myself in sheer mysterium slash satire by the story of The Romantic by Michael Heneghen.

HIT ME

Life seems completely platonic for Romance, a young man who seems to be in distraught by the thoughts that his love for his current girl is fading away. Searching for an answer, he does a ritual to summon a god from their universe to plea a request only to be answered by an advice by the devil.

Eventually a few of the many circumstances begins to fuck up as he follows suit the devils advice. Many of the below happens in no particular grave importance:

A. He kills his cheating lover after unnaturally reviving his love for her through magic
B. Fucks a goddess only to kill her in revenge
C. Unknowingly starts a great depression and war at the expense of his actions
D. Begins to mentally exhaust a god that basically started everything
E. Kills several other mystical figures
F. Answers his own problem by just basically fucking everything up, which should've just been the summary in the shortest manner

CONE CLUDE

What started off as a negligently boring start whafts its tail on ones face and completely wows you to a point where you can't go on, for various mystical reasons. Since my neutral passive mind has been clogged by tons of real life propaganda towards the depression kind, The Romantic, a romance fantasy adventure story, wrings me back and forth into a puddle of inspired and insanely deprived by a word called inspirstion and motivation.

There are select words to artistically describe every facet of the universe this movie belongs in, but the end word you could ultimately use is FUCK. That is correct, the best adjective to poetically describe it is astoundig but the slang would be Fuck. It's been long since I last watched a movie that made me want to go back into creating things, and this movie was a better ticket than my last love affair.

On a sub note on impressions, The Romantic without a doubt is a roller coaster ride of realistic emotions and out right killer horrific fantasy to depict whatever needs to be depicted. You've got impossibly grotesque monsters, from deprived babies turned cannibals to beautiful goddesses that plays more with their desire than value or respect their hearts. Reminds you of something? That's right if you think of the roma-grecian mythological stories. The movie did some good formula in using the usual gods are as fucked up and complicated as normal human beings are, which to religious people I suggest cover their eyes, as most wouldn't appreciate a good satire when they see one.

While we're on the track of the story, any critical mind wouldn't miss out on all the names and their emotional or life like impression and significance in each others back story and present predicament. Each consequence a character did has an equivalent cynical karma, and that karma's symbolism has a great value.

These symbolical value to me plays generally on the part of their names and how their role played. As far as I can go the most that struck me were the value of Romance, the hero, and Patience's, his wise man companion, relationship in the story.

Which to my minds eye plays a real equivalent in life. Patience could easily play with Romance since he could be fully naive and manipulated depending on the situation. Just a single drop of idea and hope makes Romance a great idealist and at the end an ideal story maker. That is about the only symbolism of personal value.

Everything was a poetic end. And you could say my passive aggressive heart completely approves that you watch this, whether you favor the boringly serious or not. Except, the lines in this movie isn't really that boring.

PS. this story is about beginnings and ends, just the poetic kind

movie list: Inside Out (animation 2015)

Just so you know watching a movie with a really wide and diverse creativity potential sometimes really ticks me, especially when it's only targeted in one specific market.

That's what me and my friend thought of when we shared opinions about the recently shown movie Inside Out. Damn Pixar giving feels to Feels.

Inside Out is a movie about emotions in a sense that they are portrayed in a creative cartoon (3D) way. The movie was targeted towards the masses of kids that I'm assuming ranges from 6 to 99 and generally includes the young at heart, mind, soul, maturity, etc. The plot revolves around the main characters pack of emotions as they struggle in a phase of the characters, namely Railey's, life where she struggles to cope with, as my dear friend who keeps on affirming that its, depression or possibly the simplistic first time for a child's life to experience depression (no I don't find the whole thing simplistic, but hey, for kids, fooooor kids).

The movie was engaging and very peppy, and yes the colours are needed for reaction,  I think they did a really intricate study on what to use or do in the levels of the story. Since, well, the whole adult concept of the plot is explaining Psychology for the mind of a kid, or what it can be in a simplified form of educating what their diverse emotions are and what they do (or become, once they become adults). 

Truly, the only thing I was impressed the most is the opportunity to explain that change is needed to grow, even in who or what you are. This movie showed one of the most beautiful representation of how your personality or character grows with time. Like what the significance of each of your thoughts should be and how jumbled your mind can take in once something has been robbed from you.

Personally I reacted more to the viewers and which of the emotions they liked or disliked. I've only had two peoples opinion to base on this but it really shows what kind of character or personality they have on what they felt for each emotions in the movie. Of course, the greater the reaction is the higher it is more likely to guess what they like and dislike towards a human being. I'm not saying its a sure call for the guess, I could probably ask, but it's not my work to study peoples reaction towards any kind of dramatic or intriguing story.

Any who, me and those two friends did an analysis to what we saw from the movie. We listed the top three emotions we were linking ourselves with. Honestly though, it's difficult, because for me each one of the emotions are linked to what I am. Maybe, what ever I do I won't probably know. Since, as I said, currently it's not my job, yet.

The movie is a ride, it didn't strike me too much, till the part I saw about the cats and what the emotions were doing in their head (spoiler, a bit). Now that part of the ending was BEAUTIFUL, it was spot on. Damn.

Guessing. With the way that I placidly watched the struggle of the characters, their growth in adapting to the whole conflict. I've experienced and seen soo much of sadness and depression that I've begun to be "numb" to it. That sometimes I think I understand them, but I really don't and need more information or story, and even have the heart to help. But I've gone through time, and now my age, that I begin to care for other things.

Growing up is painful, but I'm thankful that I experienced majority of the depressing and selfish parts of it earlier. Besides that part about romance. I really did not know I could grow and learn or accept it till now. That maybe another story in its self.
