Influence or Inspiration

24 03 2008

Ever thought that movies, anime or dramas can be inspiration? Depends, it depends on the person watching it. As for me, it might be a great influence, well not all but most of it. I think this is why i like watching them. Certain movies, anime or dramas make me realize a certain character or attitude about myself. Some allows me to dream, dream about my future and fairytales. Most of them inspire me.

Like most people says, movies, anime and dramas, what happen in them, is all fake, false, nothing in them is real. Especially in anime. I love anime, though its just hand drawn characters and made up plots but still, most anime characters face situations where they have to choose between life or death, them or their friends, situations where when all hopes lost, do they move on forward or give up?

One piece, one of my fav, what really inspire me in this anime is how they treasure their “nakama” (which means partners, or friends) they would go to the ends of the world to for a “nakama”, they would fight the most terrifying enemy to save a “nakama”. Would i go to that extend just to save a friend or your love ones? (I’m still wondering).

My another fav, Honey and Clover. The plot is about the life of a few characters in an art college. The most inspiring thing about this anime is one of the character called Hagu. Its about how she strive to regain her senses in her right hand(her drawing hand) so that she can continue to draw. She never gives up even though the chances is minimum. When i was young, all i know or want to do is draw, that was my dream. I love coloring, i love drawing. I drew on my dad’s room wall when i ran out of paper, i drew on my garage’s cement when my dad punished me for what i did. I wonder what happen to that dream of mine? My love for drawing, i question myself most nights, did i give up? or is it due to my bitter childhood that i gave it up? after watching Honey and Clover, i felt that giving my that dream at that point of time was something stupid of me to do, no matter what the reason i give myself i still…. i did not lose my drawing hand, i did not lose my senses, it was just a bitter childhood and i gave up my dream….

Lucky for me, its still not too late. Though i’m not good at it now, though i suck at it now, i’m going to move on forward with this dream and other dreams of mine. Its never too late….I’m glad to be a movie freak or anime freak or drama freak, i don’t mind… Everytime i want to give up, one of these will inspire me, giving me the courage and will to move forward, not giving up.

Well not only movies, anime or drams gives me the encouragement or motivation, not forgetting my family; mom, dad, sis and mio (hehhehe), of course my dear friends, especially Ying and never forgetting my love, BenBen. Hehehe Thanks for being there for me, thanks for everything, thanks so much!!

Never say that movies or cartoons mean nothing, its how you take it. You might say that i think too much or you must be thinking that i’m crazy or weird, maybe i am.
