it's been a long time since my last post. a very long one...
i just finished reading the 6th book of Rowling's famous series. and the dominant emotion... sadness. it wasn't very overwhelming for me since i had expected dumbledore to die (somebody shouted it out loud at the tambayan as early as july so there goes my reading pleasure). and i guess at rowling's hand, it didn't seem easy to squeeze out those tears. but yeah, i did shed some, at the end, after coming to terms with the reality that the main character is facing.
sadness is such a glamourized emotion. it's so played up in movies. there'd be long sequences showing the character feeling gloomy, walking about in a really sunshiny, happy place but not noticing any of those, glimpsing scenes where the people are happy making him/her feel sadder, and of course, with a background music to accompany that emotion. the music is essential to the scene, as well as the actor. it wouldn't be complete.
after seeing many of those, and feeling sadder many times, i do contemplate scenes like those with me as the character. however, these are times when i'm not really down. i just wanted to glamourize myself that's why i wanted to do them. i want to be able to impart that same emotion, but as an actress onscreen. however, i haven't thought of any soundtrack that would accompany it. it's usually my face that i just imagine but not the reason behind it.
and then after imagining me sad, my mind drifts to the things that do make sad. and there i am, sad again. in reality this time.
