I just watched this movie 'self-medicated' (which was fucking awful btw) and its basically a biography of this dude monty lapica, who also wrote, directed, and stars as himself in the movie . That's some self-indulgent shit, but that's besides the point. What the movie did do is question whether my own life is can be made into a movie. I've been in some crazy shit, but I dont think its necessarily movie-material so now i pose the question to all of you: for dramatic effect, let's say you died at this very moment, do you think your life was interesting enough to be made into a movie?
Nah... someone would shut it off within 3 min... if all the interesting times were compiled together, it still would be considered boring as hell... at least, I think so anyways But this thread reminds me of The Truman Show, ever see that OP?
more like i'm an interviewer interviewing interesting people, i meet a lot of em. so maybe a documentary but a movie - nah
Well if you were searching for an action/thriller....probably not. However if you were in the mood for a story about perseverance and someone coming back from childhood abuse, which later resulted in manic depression and four hospitalizations (as of now), years involved in traveling around seeing the Dead/live music whilst dropping lsd/x in early 20's, then becoming a single parent of a beautiful boy, growing up and realizing life's not all about yourself, finishing my education to be a teacher.....during this time I was hospitalized for mania twice-once when in grad school and having to finish on deadline-therefore havng to go to school, work as a grad assistant, and take care of my 3 yr old while in a hypo-manic state..serious lol stories there... After graduating with Master's Cum Laude, worked in the shitty public school system for 6 months-where they wanted me to sign legal docs for kids that were completely illegal...quit....went to work at son's daycare making min. wage.....wrote a letter to a private school saying I wanted to work somewhere with integrity....getting a call a few days later, got the job, best job ever...get to teach kids my favorite subject ..Reading....all in a great supportive environment....9 years now...hospitalized twice for mania during this time..but so happy, but shitty pay, constant struggle to pay bills...etc.... Well, not the most exciting life, high rolling and what not, but it would definitely be interesting on a personal struggle level...It could definitely be a book, but damned if I have time for THAT Thanks for posting thread..that was very therapeutic..lol
lol I've told my parents a bunch of times that im going to email MTV and get a reality show based around my life but in all seriousness. yes i do think my life should be a movie, does that make me bad?/ lol
I'm worth a book. My life so far has been like a rock star without the fame aspect... lots and lots of alcohol. It makes for good stories.
yea my movie would be boring (no action), but i have gone thru sum shitt, and with a book i could describe all my feelings and shit and teach life lessons based on my life, i think itd be interesting if written well (then again thats true with most things)
