In the spring of 1977 I sat in a crowded movie theater . The lights went down and words began rolling across the screen.
I. Was. Done.
I was in cinematic love.
Star War gave me Princess Leia, my first kick ass screen heroine. It made me imagine worlds among the stars. Whenever I need to go back in time, I put that movie on and become a child with no worries, no sad memories and every important person in my life still alive. Maybe life was really shitty back in 1977, maybe I was gloriously ignorant of real life. I do not know. I was just a kid and It was a simple time for me . A big part of my joy that spring was the thrill of seeing those opening credits and hearing that music blast through the movie theater.
I've had many movie and book love affairs since then. Harry Potter got me through the most difficult of years of marriage and motherhood, Stranger Things reminds me of all the awesomeness of 1980's books and movies and brilliantly provides an avenue to share those things with my kids. The Marvel Universe has made my superhero worship cool and gave me Jessica Jones.
I cherish the notion that someone will bring another book, television or cinematic love affair into this world. With all the chaos and sadness going on today I like the idea that it is still possible to buy or download a book, pay for a ticket or switch on the television,forget all the external garbage and enjoy these treasures of books, movies and television. For me Star Wars was the one that started it all and I will never forget my first love.
