Have you ever felt so strong about a movie?

It's ridiculous... 22 minutes until the tv-serie starts and I'm shaking with anxiety. It's my new obsession. I think about it all day long, imagining all the possible scenarios. I have more emotions for the characters than I feel in real life :rolleyes2: It's a love story and it makes me quite sad. And a bit depressed because I know it's so very improbable that something like that will happen to me and even the fact that I don't believe I could love someone like that.
I'd usually stop watching if things make me depressed, but this is so addictive

I do this with several shows: Sherlock (BBC) and Hannibal. I feel much more emotion towards these characters than I do with people in my waking life.

There are two movies that I feel very strongly about. The first is Get Carter (1971) which is by far the best gangster film I have ever seen. It stars Michael Caine and the music throughout the film is perfect as well as the opening sequence of a train speeding north from London to Newcastle. (I've always loved trains especially in the era which it was filmed as I was only a toddler at the time the trains and landscapes looked like that in the film). The film is just so atmospheric and it is a window into a lost world that I was part of when I was very young. (I even have a few hazy memories of the early 1970s when places looked like they did in the film).

The second film I love is The Wicker Man (1973) starring Christopher Lee and Brit Ekland. Set on a remote Scottish island it tells a strange and slightly disturbing story of a pagan worshiping community. The music throughout the film is both beautiful and haunting and the filming locations are beautiful too.

A few movies I can't watch anymore. I'll cry if I do. Other times I memorized lines, watched a movie over and over and repeated phrases from a movie [my brother thought it was odd but he never said anything.] It felt as if I lived in a movie...that I could feel or imagined I could feel what a character felt. I hated traitors and silently cheered heros on. It might be because I have a visual brain.

A certain series I'd wait all week for another show...and HAD to watch it! Example-one show was about a Special Forces unit that included their wives & what their wives went thru. Same with a series about Cicily, Alaska. I wanted to live in that town.

So what do you think of the Sherlock as Aspie vs Sherlock as Psycopath vs Sherlock as NT debate? Since you are uniquely qualified to form an opinion on that?

I've been obsessed with many shows.

I sometimes get frustrated with myself for becoming so invested in fictional characters. Have to occasionally remind myself that their lives are nowhere near as complex as mine because they don't exist!

This movie called Candy w/ Heath Ledger. Have never felt so much toward a movie before, other than Nolan's Batman films and also Batman Forever at the part where Edward goes to his apartment and Bad Days by The Flaming Lips is playing... I just get so emotional over how Bruce rejected him and that was his favourite person in the movie... blblblbl sometimes can't even talk about it because I get so caught up in the characters... weird how it's only movies and shows that can do this to me
