Movies to watch to feel the isolation and quarantined
The world is fighting against the COVID-19 very bravely. Till the effective medication is invented to cure this suddenly emerged situation, the world leaders have urged for only the effective tool to prevent it spreading more, is keeping social distances and isolation.
This situation has brought most of us into self-captivation and isolation.
The humans, who did not have privilege to be at homes are now “forced” to stay at one place with not much activity to do. The fast moving life has come to sudden halt. The day to day rush has come to a slowdown.
The ones who loved to be in crowds, who loved to be in friends and social circles, are suddenly forced to follow “separation”. And this separation might have been hurting many, being away from daily busy and energetic chaotic world.
However, take it in other way and try to feel differently. You would all agree that, our taste and choices do vary based on our moods and situations.
For example, when we fall in love with someone, our whole world gets changed and we love all the things around the world. We love all those small things which were already around us from years, but we see more beauty in all of them. We love to watch romantic movies.
Opposite to that, when we get hurt break in the situations, all these things, which were beautiful few days ago, seem to curse us even more. Nothing in this world gives us joy and the world seems a deep dark well.
Similarly the true value and joy of any thing comes when we have that mood. Now let’s talk about the movies with mood which is perfectly matching to current situation of humankind.
There are many movies out there on the theme of the, isolation, being away from all, being with self. But the true feel of these movies can be taken now at this situation, when we are also in a kind of trapped situation. Trapped at our homes, trapped with our limited social networking, trapped in our own thoughts. And this is the chance to enjoy and feel of such movie themes and time to self-discovery.
I present here some of such movies, which I have watched:
This one character thriller movie will keep you trapped in its visuals, theme and story progressing very tightly. You are trapped at your homes only and that too with your loved once around, but think of yourselves, if you are in any such situation where no one else enter and you would never see anyone again shortly…
Watch the movie to feel what real trapped feels like..
Many of us are familiar with this movie, where TOM HANKS has shown what a isolation can bring to us in terms of our physical and mental health. The superb performance and body transformation by the actor gives you real feel of being stranded.
This Indian flick, out of main line cinema has given us a strong content for cinema lovers. We are talking about being in locked down situation at our homes. This movie, is real lockdown at own house. Rajkumar Rao has shown his commendable performance in this trapped thriller.
I found this movie, recently while searching for a good content to watch in this situation. And I found this good flick which matches with the present situation in quite similar way. For many of you this may be un pleasant experience, but in reality it may be faced by human kind some day in future, if these kind of situation keep emerging.
You might be trapped at your places right now, but at least you are able see the other people, can talk to others for a mood change. But think of someone, who is lost somewhere in between the vast ocean without anyone else. No one to listen to, no one to help. How would you survive and be stable mentally in such situation. Watch this under-rated gem to feel the pain.
Adventure of outing sometimes can cost you a lot, but also can teach you lessons of life. This engaging thriller will make you think positive for your self-captivation. Watch the movie to feel what a real character of the movie would have felt in real, as this is based on real story.
Being captivated for your safety is still a good thing rather than being captivated on a small rock in middle of water body, where sharks are awaiting for you to make mistake and come out. So is the case with Corona Virus, your one wrong step out of your place, can cost you a life.
Our family and our loved ones are our whole universe. But what about the feeling, you are left alone in the open universe. This very popular movie can once again be watched at this situation, to have a real feel of the movie, for which it has been made.
9) Wall-E (the first half)
This lovely innocent animation movie, will surely make you feel damp in your corner of your eyes. The life less machine will make you feel much better in your present situation, once you see and feel the loneliness of this main character of the movie.
This is an old movie of Indian Cinema, with only a character (Sunil Dutt). This was a brave attempt by Sunil Dutt, in the experimental film long ago in 1960s. And Today I find this more relevant to our present (and may be near future) situation. So please love your present time, give values to your loved ones, because you may not get second chance in this morla world out there.
Few must be mentioned are flipped, Locke, The Martian.
These are just few of these movies, and you can find many more and get indulge into your present situation and get some strength to fight out your isolation more effectively and also help the world to fight out this unwanted situation.
Stay isolated, peep inside yourself and be safe.
