For example, I play the drums and tend to think of myself as a drummer. Do you love games, consider yourself a gamer? Are you a chef, a bodybuilder, maybe an artist? What is it that you love to do?

    I call myself a film nerd. I particularly enjoy movies with surrealistic or psychological elements. I prefer older movies or movies that depict older periods, such as the ~1880s-1980s. I had a fixation on the 20s-40s a while ago and discovered one of my favourite actors, Charles Boyer. Watched a bit of Ingrid Bergman, too. Currently, I am fixating on the 2018 show Das Boot (the first 2 seasons at least…).

    I hold movies dear to my heart. I have ~250 movies on hold in my “watchlist,” and I seldom find the motivation to sit down and absorb new materials. However, once I do discover something I like, chances are I will incorporate it into my personality or daily life some way. I feel that movies encourage creativity within me, as I often take inspiration from movies / shows / characters when creating my own work (I write in my free time).

    I have never met a person in real life who is just as passionate about this as I am. I don’t really have anybody to talk about movies with for hours, so I turn to the internet. Even then, it’s difficult to find such people, I think.
