epic

Epic music just gets me.

I was listening to a random assortment of music and music from the Pirates of the Caribbean came on…and it just made me…tune in more closely and be flooded with all these…romantic, daring, courageous feelings of adventure, heroism, danger, love, life, victories…

Maybe it’s why I tend to have more “male” taste in movies/films. I love a good story but especially ones of incredible…feats to be faced, battles to be won, etc.; I love the highs and the lows.

Last night, I took my youngest brother to see “Prince Caspian.” It’s a childrens’ movie. And he was comforting me, hahaha, throughout it. One of the traits of an INFP is that we…get grossly involved in whatever we are watching. I cannot help it. It’s to the point of utter ridiculousness…in particularly emotionally taxing or trying films, I’ll actually be almost to the point of starting to pray for the protagonist. I KNOW what I’m watching is simply a depiction or is utter fiction but I get so involved with the characters and stories, that I lose myself within the film and start to be wont to actually pray for a character who’s about to be raped or killed or whatever the atrocity might be.

I feel very deeply.  (And generally think this is a good thing but acknowledge that that is a bit much.)  ;)

Anyway, needless to say, even in a PG film, I can be come impassioned, and here I am, last night, a grown woman, with her nine year old brother patting her back, trying to “calm” her down during some intense fighting scenes. It didn’t help that he felt he had to whisper a few times “It’s not real, Christy.”

Oh my.

;)

(At least you cannot say I don’t enjoy the experience of watching a film. I have a very vivid imagination and thus can easily get sucked into whatever world the film is set during the course of watching it. Heh. )
