Characterisation is fascinating. Various kinds of characters, roles and an storyline, movies are surely something that can create magic visually as well as mentally in ones mind. If you consider yourself a movie freak then you might be able to relate with this article.

Everyone watches movies, to pass time, to have a break or be it some other reason but movies give us a new perspective over many pieces of life and beyond. They introduce us to a whole new universe, new people and obviously ways to deal with common occurences. On the other side there can be negative reasons as well but movies in some way or the other acts as motivation for our achievements.

As for my own experience, there are a lot of movies which helped me develop my taste for different emotions and thought process in my mind.I discovered lessons and I developed a way of thinking. Not to be taken into much of our own humane depth but yes movies do make a difference in our lives.

I have a bunch of my favourite characters who fascinate me and the parallely written characterisation for them. The alpha attitude of the characters gives the story a new outlook.

Along with the characters many stories are there which does the same.
Being a writer myself I always have traded for better and unique stories while selecting a movie to watch.

The movie marathon have also helped me to vast open my imagination to create relatable stories and write about different maneuvers.

The whole new fantasy world, the versions of true stories or the satisfying fiction. Every story leaves a mark on the spectators. It maybe negative or positive, we cant be certain on a whole, although it depends on how they relate to it. Sometimes a character climbs into our thoughts and it gets difficult for us to get it out. That's when you realise that the movie has made a mark, movie making is a hard process and when you get to see something which exerts enough influence on you in ways, that's when you realise that you relate to it.

My thought on this is if we didn't have movies how different it would have been, we wouldn't have known different stories, we wouldn't have know the power of imagination a human mind holds and not realizing how characters are built and human recogonization. Movies do create magic and they give us characters and their principles which can be used in real life as well.

Genres can vary in opinions. However I like thrilling and thought provoking characters more, where the journey and part of it is shown. I like the way the story follows about an individual covering all the what, when's, but's and ifs.

Thinking of which, here 5 of my favourite movies which I like for the sole reason of
I. The story
II. The characters
You should give it a watch if you are a movie freak.

The 1976 released neo noir basically a psycological thriller. This movie revolves around the thoughts and daily rides of Travis Bickle, a taxi driver who can't sleep enough and finds work to substitue his time for that.

One of Chris nolan's best, this one doesn't need an introduction.

Spacey for this one won an academy award for the best supporting actor and his performance is counted as his one of the best performances of his career.

The 2014 Science fiction drama film. It is one of my favourite as it has all the elements, the thrill, the amazing visuals, the story line, all the emotions and an amazing display of the concept of time dilation and black holes. Its a treat to viewers. Not to forget, the film won an academy award of best visuals. So might want to stick around for this one to have a great space adventure.
