If you like the crazy you better, maybe you should let him win.

Have you ever watched closely a film you thought you'd understood as a kid?
We watched Return of the Jedi tonight and I actually paid close attention to it. I had most of the plot completely WRONG when I was a kid. There are super obvious things I just did NOT notice because I was looking at the special effects.
Interestingly, we were also watching the non-CGI version, which I'd never seen before. So maybe the issue is just that I'm ADD, and not that I was a kid before. I just can't believe that the minor "improvements" they made to star wars caused me to misunderstand the film so much.
Also, I remember MUCH more distinctly than star wars the interview with George Lucas at the beginning. I think that my dad would turn on star wars and maybe I wandered away while the interview was happening? idk.
idk. I just can't separate characters in movies/tv shows from my experience of watching them. So often (especially in the movie theater or on a big screen) I get so distracted by little visual components, that I forget I'm supposed to be thinking about the plot instead. Or I get so interested in the medical possibilities of the show, I forget the character development completely.
idk, I want to research synesthesia a little bit better. I'm still amazed by how many interesting self-revelations Born on a Blue Day held for me.
I have REALLY weird ways of remembering things. I'm always trying to analyze a situation as it's presented, instead of immediately afterwords. For this reason I start to feel crazy if I don't keep a journal. But it also means that when I go to remember things they might be filed very weirdly. Like blue square characters and purple swirly characters.

Also, I REALLY want to see the CGI'd version again now so I can compare the differences. It just felt like a massively different movie.
