Perfectionist

Hey... I've been writing this blog for two years now and I'm starting to see... I'm a perfectionist.
I don't know why but whenever I have a favourite film it's always the ones that are most flawed in my opinion  but which I love to watch, just to pick out scenes I would change.


The reason why I don't read a lot is because I am a perfectionist and whenever I read something I always look for ways to improve it, even my own stories that I read to this day.
I've come over time to accept this flaw... I'll always be a perfectionist but I can still enjoy my movies because just like me, some of their scenes are flawed and they'll never be perfect, just like I'll never be and that in a way is what makes them perfect.
Their flaws.
These are the movies I can watch the most because they are flawed to a considerable degree and that's why I love them so much.
In Kiki's Delivery Service there is no action and interactions between people that don't seem real.
In Stand By Me there is absolutely no plot and yet it still draws me in.
And in Treasure Planet the whole Planet scene totally pisses me off but I still watch these films because I know they are greatly flawed and that's why I love them.
And that's why I love this new film in my collection Paranorman because it is so flawed in the middle with the zombies that I have to love it.
I have to love things that are flawed because I am so completely flawed that if they were perfect I couldn't love them.
I love the film Back to the Future 3 and Jurassic Park but they are so perfect in their viewing that they almost take me out of the film because I am not looking for what is wrong.
And that is why these films are my favourites because they are flawed in the most perfect way and that makes them great.
Accepting your imperfect flaw and still being spectacular to me is all that matters.
Thank you.
