The Movies of My Life
So I am reading a book that has a very interesting premise. It's called "The Movies of My Life" by Alberto Fuguet. While I find myself not really getting into the book itself all that much, the main character reevaluates his life as seen through the 50 movies that define his life's pivotal moments. At any rate, it has gotten me to thinking about what movies have defined MY life. I haven't come up with all of them yet, but the first one would have to be "ET". It was the first time I went to the movie theater and, as most children did, I got so attached to ET that I cried all the way home. I distinctly remember the car ride home and lying down and crying and not being able to stop. It is pivotal for me because it is the first time, that on some level, that I think I really understood loss. I was so sad because I knew I couldn't see ET again and it was the first time I remember not knowing if things were going to be OK. Of course, little did I know at the time, but life is full of those types of moments...
