[1] Just A Movie?
‘It is just a (fictitious) movie’, some say.
Yes perhaps, for a poorly made show.
But a good film is never just for entertainment.
For what makes a flick excellent,
are the ‘enlightening’ timeless truths depicted
and plausible morals of the story proposed.
[2] Just A _____ (Whatever)?
‘It is just a _____ (whatever)’, some say.
Yes perhaps, for a poorly made _____ (whatever).
But a good _____ (whatever) is never just for _____ (whatever).
For what makes a _____ (whatever) excellent,
are the ‘enlightening’ timeless truths depicted
and plausible morals of the story proposed.
[3] Attitude And Approach
Thus, our attitude and approach
towards movies and _____ (whatever),
should be that of sincerity and mindfulness.
May we discover (or revise on) truths missed,
and imagine ourselves in the scenarios as thought experiments,
to consider what values we should live up to… in real life.
