Our brain creates the most extravagant imaginations. Especially, the most exotic and creative imageries appear when we dream.
Whether the dreams are comedy or tragedy, it inspires people to create new ideas. The smallest brilliant details in a masterpiece could be made with a slight boost from imagination. Imaginations might simply be from dreams. But later by successfully sharing our dreams to others, all the techniques and terms help people design. Terms such as color schemes, angle captions, metaphors, and more. Dreams could help people create the best novels, photography, paintings, music, and also movies.
Amelie is a French film directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet. Jeunet successfully portrayed the metaphoric and poetic scenes in the film. For example, in the first minute of the movie, the narrator said “…the wind magically made two glasses dance unseen on a tablecloth.” The clip portrayed the exact idea of the sentence; I got chills out of this beginning scene. Although it is a short scene, it was designed effortlessly.
I am sad to say that I finish watching this film only several days ago; however, it has become my favorite movie since. The movie Amelie was not like all the Hollywood movies that seemed dragging, it was full of little bits of excitements. Moreover, the color scheme is full of warm colors, whereas the camera angle and the characters personalities give a cold twist through out the movie.
Creativity can be everywhere, it can be what we see, hear, smell, or taste. It does not matter how chaotic or miserable our lives are, but our attitude of how we ought to live our lives is what matters the most.
Dream big.
