My thoughts of Media
I usually watch movies in the theaters, rent them, or watch what plays on basic channels.
I never had cable in my life, so the only time I know that there are new movies out is through the commercial breaks on television. I watch some cultural films, but they don’t interest me much. They don’t have high quality films or the money to afford better actors. In Hmong films, there are not enough directors and there isn’t enough finance so most films are done with one camera and a little crew of people. It isn’t the best but hopefully through the years there will be better.
I think there is a definite connection in what I like to watch and who I am. I love most films that I see because I enjoy almost everything in my life. In films surrounding love stories, they are my favorite because I believe that love is for everyone, it just depends if you are willing to put in the effort and open your heart. Anyone can fall in love, they just have to realize that it is not as easy as it looks onscreen. In action films, I enjoy probably sports films the best. I have grown up with men in my life. I have 5 brothers, a man that has been my best friend for 8 years and boyfriend for a year of the friendship, my father, many cousins that were my age growing up. I love sports and physically I’m pretty tough for my size and as a woman.
