Well, I guess I think a lot of human existence is fleeting and trivial.
Hm. Actually, Jurassic Park left some sort of impression on me, though that may be because I was so young when I saw it. I think a lot of things are really awesome at the time, then forget them a year later and think back and wonder how I could've been such an idiot. But the movies that leave a lasting impression on me are quite rare. I'm learning to distinguish them at the time, to recognize what it is about the movie or whatever that resonated with me, but it's a slow process. The immediate reactions you seem to have of "this is amazing" or "this sucks" are kind of foreign to me. I'm usually somewhere inbetween, unless it really was just that amazing or really, really awful. And the sort of buzz in the head I get after movies that resonate with me, leaves me sort of inspired or like, stuck on a feeling of the movie...that happens with movies and plays I think are stupid, too, but it's also something very impermanent. Unless it's something very new to me, something that actually left a change in how I see the world, I'll forget it.
