Another movie

Last Wednesday at midnight, many cinemas around the world had a special screening because of the premiere of: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1. Many years had passed since the last time I went to a screening of that kind, but last Wednesday at midnight I was there, in one of the many.

I couldn´t hide my emotion, not only because it was a world premiere what I´m talking about, but also because that event brings together two of my most huge passions, Movies and Books, I´m not saying that I´m fan of Harry Potter the book but the movie. In matter of fact I only read three of that books and I didn´t like what I saw after in the theater so I decided to go only with the movies, and instead of Harry Potter books I preferred to read some others that may be never going to be in the big screen… whatever.

So there was me, my boyfriend and other 998, watching the same movie but not perceiving the same message, if I can say I learn something that would be that I was amazed by the people, kids who convinced their parents let them stay until 2 am, just 5 hours before they have to go to school; young people, not kids not adults, that still living the feeling that started to raise 13 years ago with the fist book or 9 years ago with the first film; and other people like me not huge fans but moved by the passion about books and movies. All of us making a big effort, staying awake till early morning; spending $400 may be more may be less on pop corns that make us feel we´re watching some other film, on coffee that help us on the hard job being awake at 2 in the morning represents, on soda that make of this Country the fattest all over the world; making long lines for about 2 hours or more only for getting good seats. Why?? Just because… NOT! The answer is very easy we all want to be part of something big, something bigger than us, and we got it.

It was beautiful everything was, the waiting, the coffee, the company, the cries when the lights off, the laughs when the jokes, the seats, the claps at the end. And how was the movie? This is not about the movie don´t you get it? but now that you ask, it was fine.
