One of my favorites is the scene in Breakfast at Tiffany's when Holly and Paul find Cat after she threw him from the cab and they embrace.

In reality, our lives don't have plots, they don't have neat little three act structures ending in catharsis and resolution. The moments in life that tend to be the most memorable or special come when the narrative stops, and a point in time is just experienced. That feeling is captured too rarely in films -Franklin Beaumonthttp://www.flashfictiondaily.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5309932466795335827.post-11552415396165431422010-11-10T06:23:55.855-08:002010-11-10T06:23:55.855-08:00I have another movie example you should be able to...I have another movie example you should be able to relate to, American Beauty.<br /><br />In it the dad says essentially that everyone is sleepwalking or sleeping through life.

I have a word for this: I call it a Showgasm.<br /><br />It's literally when every part of your body wakes up to a huge zinger moment in a movie (however quiet or loud that moment may be) and you find yourself nodding, or tearing up, but basically, your entire body and soul is saying, "YES. YES. I have felt this before, this is truth, right here, I thought no one else ever felt thisPhoenixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07477498671080132176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5309932466795335827.post-42771015430842813312010-11-09T09:07:34.613-08:002010-11-09T09:07:34.613-08:00Your excellent post makes me wonder: do I allow th...Your excellent post makes me wonder: do I allow these moments on celluloid to inspire me to have wonderful moments in my own life?Scott Michaelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5309932466795335827.post-14277129397469761352010-11-08T17:36:20.069-08:002010-11-08T17:36:20.069-08:00Beautiful post.
