movies vs. real life

i believe noone can deny the effect of the endless movies we've seen on our lives. I mean, I know I'm not the only one to say that sometimes I feel like today is just another scene in a movie. So, yesterday in the workout , it occurred to me; what if my life is in fact a movie?! What would it be like? What soundtrack will be playing in the background? Who would be the leading man? What kind of movie will it be? I took those thoughts and explored them further later through the day and decided, well, probably noone would be interested to know what my life would be like as a movie, but then again it's a piece of my mind, I get to blog whatever I want. No? FIRSTLY SOME FACTS: 1- In a movie, any movie, she is the star, the one who the whole story goes on and on about. In real life, I am just another random person of the countless souls that roam this earth. 2- In a movie, the right soundtrack to play in the background makes all the difference. It can even give change the turn of events. In real life, there is no music in the background. Actually, in real life, sometimes , even when you have the right soundtrack in your mind, a neighbor practicing their "Twinkle Twinkle little star" on the high pitched irritating violin , or a passing car playing "2adeek te2ol makhadtesh" in a loud noisy shaky sound can absolutely ruin your mode. So let's just say that real life goes on mute most of the time. 3- In a movie, whatever the genre/type is, the leading man is tall , dark and handsome, with longish soft hair, plays the guitar (or paints) and has a British accent ( think Hugh Jakcman in The Prestige or Kate and Leopold but add the accent and the guitar thing. In real life, well, the leading man does not have a British Accent :)or know anything about soundtracks other than Arabic empty, shallow hits :s 4- In a movie, all the events happen according to a pre-scripted plan by the author and the director. In real life, at every single scene, I have to decide "what I want", which really isn't as easy as it sound, really! 5- In a movie, the final scene is really the end of it. The conflict/problem has been resolved, whether it's the happily ever after, died and went to heaven, died and went to hell, got cracked up and ended in an asylum. Really, it's the end of it. In real life, it just never ends... you keep going on and on and on.. conflict after conflict and by all means... happily ever after (or even happy for a while) is not even an option.
