When I was a kid I really wanted to be an actor , I loved being able to portray iconic characters, and the impacts it can have on people but I eventually moved past accepting that not everyone is gonna be some massive actor and impact many , but that doesn’t mean we still can’t have an impact on people’s lives But every now and then I’ll see a movie and I will imagine myself in that movie instead of a particular character, having a relationship with those characters and being in that story, and my friends and family watching it and being impressed. Might sound a bit immature but still it comes to me and then I have that heavy desire to do something about it. Recently I watched a good impactful film from Hong Kong (Lost and Found 1996) which follows a young woman with cancer who seems to notice a lot about people, and she has a desire to see something beautiful before she passes and meets a Scottish man who promises her that he can show her beauty in Scotland and she thinks she falls for him, but she loses contact with him and so hires a man to help her find him and when they spend time together she eventually grows more fond of him , and how kind he is despite not being so fortunate and how he is actually a lonely person but his job of helping people find things gives him connection. When she eventually does find the man and goes to Scotland it is beautiful but she misses home and the man who helped her get there. That was a summary of the film but I have been imagining myself acting in that film as the man who helped the woman, and it brought back that desire. If not acting it’s also being in a band singing all the music I love often altering lyrics to my situation and thoughts and impacting people that way but yeah I was wondering how others have experienced this deeply. submitted by /u/Vader60
