Destressed by a Movie

I have been insomniac for more than a week now, perhaps, this is all because I am bothered by a lot of things that leaves me restless for days. And in my quest for peace of mind, I engaged myself into DVD marathons and coffee to dwindle away from my negative thoughts.

Of the films I've seen from my nights of depression, I was tearfully engrossed with Slumdog Millionaire and Changeling. These aren't the usual feel good movies that will make you chuckle and split your sides. But certainly, it has engaged both my fears and compassion that gave me a calming effect thereafter.

Changeling is a tale about one woman's quiet struggle to overcome insurmountable odds. With my favorite actress Angelina Jolie in the lead role directed by the unflappable Clint Eastwood. Every mother who will get to see this movie will be enthused.

Slumdog Millionaire is an underdog fable that is vivid, moving and breathless. It tells of a young man who travels from the slums to the hot seat of the Indian Who Wants To Be a Millionaire. This movie was Directed by Danny Boyle.

With these kind of destressors, I really wouldn't mind being insomniac for few more nights. Movies like this can be a good company in tough times.
