WATCHING FILMS . also on Yahoo Contributor's Network


People have their own quiet wars, strange ideas, and resolution at getting at things and existing. Pleasure, fright and dreams shown on the cinema, bring reality close to discoveries of the mind, perhaps seeing through time and events coming to the present. The past and the future are linked in stories. That is to say a fractured earth or a hopeful tomorrow laced to human life now. The audience stares at the silver screen in excitement waiting for something to move and end; and for a good return of their time or money's worth.
