So, I watched Cinderella tonight for the first time since elementary school. Thank you Time Warner Cable. The first thing I noticed was the fact that I have never watched the video with commercials before. The second thing I noticed was that I haven't watched the movie since DVD's existed.
Cinderella was one of the first movies I ever owned. Tonight I felt as though I was watching a movie through a telescope. Watching the movie on my TV at home about 20 years after I saw it for the first time was the most bizarre thing I've done. I felt like I wasn't actually watching the movie, it was as if i was watching myself watch the movie years ago. It was so strange. I felt things that i was "supposed to feel:" but not because i actually did, it was because I consciously felt as if i was supposed to.... REALLY WEIRD.... I remember being so engaged in the movie, when she was dancing with prince charming i felt as though I was the one dancing with prince charming. Last night all I thought about when I was watching them dance was how crazy it is that technology changes so quickly. The animation was so archaic and his face looked so brown, so non-realistic. It was like watching a flip book or a moving drawing. Hilarious...
