Welcome to 'Think Beyond the Screen'!
The purpose of this blog is:
* To delve into fictional characters and learn from them!
* To post informative film reviews!
If you're looking for a character fan site, or a site that gets into the film making technique, you may want to look some place else...Here at 'Think Beyond the Screen' we focus more on the deep aspects of story and character than your typical review site. We believe that stories and characters are learning tools, and sources of either 'inspiration' or 'discouragment' in one way or another.
Just like books and music, movies and characters do have an effect on us, whether we choose to believe it or not. Here at 'Think Beyond the Screen', the belief is that every movie, and every character, and every filmmaker, have a 'worldview'. You too have a 'world view', a certain light in which you see the world and what is right and what is wrong.
You are a character in the story of your life, and what you learn from those around you, and even fictional characters can determine your path.
The cool thing about fictional characters is we can learn from their mistakes, and victories without us or them feeling the pain in reality. The lessons we can learn from films and characters we can take from the screen into our own lives, just as we do from novels and books.
Movies have messages. Characters have worldviews.
We hope that this blog will ispire you to look 'beyond the screen', to not just see film, creative stories, or fictional characters, but see 'stories', 'messages', 'worldviews' and realte their 'realities' to the world around you and see if you cannot grow deeper in your understanding of People through 'characters' and your understanding of your own prospective through 'stories'...
