Missing my reality

Watched 2 great movies in 2 days.... So many parallels I could draw from 127 hours and the black swan. They are similar in more ways than 1. One stark similarity i couldn't help but notice is that both movies focused on images conjured by the minds of the main characters. The power of the mind is indeed limitless and it does and will undoubtedly affect your reality. Your mind can kill you or save you depending on which voice you choose to hear. In 127 hours, In the midst of being trapped in a canyon, he chooses to draw on the strength of people he loves which eventually gives him the courage to cut his own arm to gain his freedom. And it's all in his mind. The images, the past and premonitions of the future. Similarly and yet in a stark contrast, black swan delves into the dark side of the mind. Trapped in the fear of losing her role, she drives her mind to killing herself. It's all in the mind, the violence, the blood, the sexual encounters.
When you are pushed to the edge for watever reasons; being trapped in a canyon for 127 hours or the fear of losing something important like a role in a ballet performance, your mind can either draw strength or push you to a very very very dark side.
Both movies also require an acting ability which is raw and relied heavily on the actors facial expressions with minimal script and supporting actors. I can't help but be drawn to such movies where there is a fine line between reality and "just in the mind" phenomenon. Inception was another one which I really liked too.
So yes, that wraps up our movie date for now. Meanwhile I am looking forward to seeing you next weekend, partner.
And meanwhile, in my painful loneliness without u, partner,I guess I could choose; to painfully cut off the dependence arm and bask in freedom or drive myself to the dark side, where I conjure you in my mind and let my fingers do the walking;) Haha ok, I'm just kidding here and u got to watch the black swan to understand this..
Anyway....don't mind me, I've just been watchg too many movies within a short span of time...
So I guess I would just be here, counting down the days from tomorrow till your return:(

So...Next two weeks, I'm pretty much on my own. Say hello to public transport..I have a feeling the cab will be my new best friend:(

I miss u already:(((
