About a month ago I saw ‘The Village’ for the first time. I avoided seeing this movie in theaters, because even the preview scared me. I used to live for scary movies and now I am so sensitive to them that just seeing a preview of one can give me nightmares.
I am not sure why I decided to watch this movie, but one night I rented it. I got all ready to be scared, as I curled up on the couch with my favorite blanket.
As I began watching this story of fear, I realized that like the moral of this movie, the fear I have in my life is very much reflected how this movie presents fear.
Fear is something that is taught, that is put into as children and as we grow our fear grows. The people around us help incubate these fears until they are full grown and then can control our lives.
The movie ‘The Village’ presents this idea in a form that is unique and not far from the truth we face in everyday life.
