Fall in love with Terrible movies

 

Now that I'm getting into a groove with my writing, I've been able to narrow down most of the ways that are best for me when it comes to inspiration. Like everybody, I have favourite movies that I love to watch and have no problem seeing that same film back to back. I've realised that when a movie interests me because I enjoy watching it I can't focus and I'm really just watching a movie, rather than coming up with new ideas. I really had no plans on discontinuing seeing films I enjoyed, my plan was to find an alternative to generate inspiration. Then I got bored one day and watched this horrible drama, which was absolutely ridiculous. But I sat through the whole thing. Through my laughter and confusion during almost every scene, new ideas kept coming to me. Plenty of them were as terrible as the movie and I felt no need to write them down. Then there were the two that had potential, just enough for me to take my time and create book worthy plots after a few weeks. A serious and or award worthy movie is usually too refined to find an idea someone else hasn't already done something with. Unpolished films are full of creativity, though sometimes it does come off quite odd. The films explore every possibility, every character in an unpolished film has the ability to inspire 10 fresh characters with amazing backstories. But I'd like to be clear and say that every unpolished film doesn't fit into the category of terrible, some of them just have some minor flaws. Some of the films are just unpolished while others have no real plot, there's levels to it and I don't want that to be lost. Finishing my original sentiment. A movie made with less restrictions, budget and simply done because of someone's passion for film tends to get ideas flowing. I flock to less desirable films when I need to generate ideas, movies like that push boundaries. I get a kick out of the strangeness of the films and potential book ideas all at the same time. This post isn't really me advising anything or making suggestions. I just felt like chatting and I'd like to thank whomever sees this for listening to my ramblings. This post probably didn't make much sense, it's kind of a late night writing session. Regardless, thanks for sticking it out and getting to the end.
