Setting a film list for the holidays. I never was the kind of person who watches a lot of films - and I'm not proud of it at all. I always get disappointed with myself whenever I talk to someone about a certain topic, then the person who I'm talking to remembers a film and asks me "Have you ever watched X?" (usually he or she does it to give an example related to the topic based on a film). I get disappointed because I tend to answer with a sad "no". I don't mean that I don't like films. I would say that maybe I don't have enough patient to watch them. Watching a film with a partner is always pleasant, but doing it alone is still a big deal to me. I hardly reach the middle of the story. Most of the films I've watched were part of some task in high school or even in college. Thus, I've decided to fight against my "lack of patience" in order to watch one film per day during my break from college in July. I want to do this not only because of the others, but also for myself. I do believe that films can help you to broaden the mind. I've been taking notes of my acquaintances' suggestions and I'm really willing to watch all of them. I hope I can write back here in August with a positive feedback about this "resolution".

Setting a film list for the holidays.

I never was the kind of person who watches a lot of films - and I'm not proud of it at all. I always get disappointed with myself whenever I talk to someone about a certain topic, then the person who I'm talking to remembers a film and asks me "Have you ever watched X?" (usually he or she does it to give an example related to the topic based on a film). I get disappointed because I tend to answer with a sad "no".

I don't mean that I don't like films. I would say that maybe I don't have enough patience to watch them. Watching a film with a partner is always pleasant, but doing it alone is still a big deal to me. I hardly reach the middle of the story. Most of the films I've watched were part of some task in high school or even in college.

I've been taking notes of my acquaintances' suggestions and I'm really willing to watch all of them.

I hope I can write back here in August with a positive feedback about this "resolution".
