TV Series or Movies?

Rakstars, what do you prefer? TV Series or Movies? 

TV Series are a beautiful extended version of a story that brings the pace to a realistic period of life (most of the time anyways). We become so attached to the characters, watch their growth and struggle, that we become their best friend. We root for our loved characters and are so engrossed within the story that we forget about real life. When the seasons all come to an end and it’s the series finale – that’s when we cry. Like a long term relationship. 

A TV series uncovers the ups and down, evolution of characters and gasping plot twists with emotions so deep, we are heavily invested. Our commitment to each episode increases our loyalty and we mature as adults. Our emotions grow stronger, anticipating the next episode and sharing joy and heartbreak through this long term relationship. 

Movies are well-versed condensed versions and provide a wonderful story all within good time. It’s quick, it’s fast, it’s what we like. We don’t want to miss a scene because if we do, we miss out. We are attached to it for as long as we can be. Gluing our eyes to the screen, every second of the way only to find out our suspicions were right all along or sometimes we don’t even see it coming; it was the best friend. (Drop the mic!) What? It happened all so fast and now we are just thinking what the heck? Like a short term fling. 

A movie is like a passionate fling where it captures our attention for a brief amount of time but yet it is so excitingly intense that it gives us the thrill of powerful emotions running on a rollercoaster ride but then once it ends, it ends. We crave instant gratification but once we say our goodbye’s, it’s all over, like summer. A movie is for those who seek the escape and a brief encounter like a short term fling leaving a lasting impression. 

Rakstars, what do you gravitate towards: A long term relationship or a short term fling? I mean, a TV series or a Movie? These entertainments reflect our emotional capacity and our desires as humans. Do you yearn for the long road of steadiness, compatible and evolving connection or do you seek the thrill of immediate brief passion? Whatever you choose, it’s up to you. One thing is for sure, the world of entertainment captures our romance in us all.
