The benefits gained from watching a "bad" movie.

Let's talk today about a "movie I watched a long time ago" that I happened to remember while out for a walk.

I've forgotten the title, but it was a suspense film.
I rented it because it was dirt cheap, maybe during a Geo sale.
The packaging was actually quite appealing, you see.

So, when I watched it,it was just terrible.

There's a corpse being filmed right from the start, but the corpse,is blinking.

I thought, "Huh??"
Maybe it's not actually dead? But it has blood on it and stuff?? Huh?? That kind of thing.

And the flow of the story, well, a certain couple ends up staying in a dangerous building.
That part is fine, but from there, honestly,I couldn't follow the plot anymore.
I sort of remember the scene near the end, but I don't remember at all why it ended up like that, or what happened in the end, or anything like that.

Since it was cheap, I don't think I "lost money," but it really made me realize that there's a reason why cheap things are cheap.
It was a somewhat bitter experience that really drove that point home.

However.
I think that watching this kind of, to put it bluntly, "terrible disaster of a movie" is also a good experience.
Because,it makes it easier to "compare with other works."

You know how there are "average movies," right?
They aren't particularly moving. But there are no major flaws, and the story progresses fairly calmly along its theme.

This might feel underwhelming, but you can think, "This is actually quite amazing!"
Because,I've been watching works that are completely broken and make no sense.

When you want to evaluate or critique something.
Of course, you need to watch wonderful works like "masterpieces."
But at the same time, I think you also need to watch things known as "bad movies" for yourself.

What elements are "good," meaning they are supported by many people (including myself)?
Also,conversely, what elements are considered "bad"?
For the sake of examining the latter, I think "bad movies" can be utilized quite effectively.

If we broaden our perspective a little, we generally want to avoid "unpleasant experiences" in the world as much as possible.
But if you think further ahead, in the sense that "your pool of comparison material increases," those unpleasant experiences will likely serve as some kind of nourishment.
You might hate it, but it's not a "useless experience."

You'll probably feel bad when you're going through it.
However, anything,usually becomes a funny story after 10 years.
I was able to talk about it like this this time, and if you think of it as fodder for future stories, I think you can view it somewhat positively, can't you?

To put it coolly, this could be called"adding depth to life."For those of you aiming for dandyism, drawing a dud might actually be an essential experience. I don't know, though.

To expand on this a bit more, people often say that "geniuses are fragile once they break."

I think people who have struggled and climbed their way up have also accumulated a fair amount of unpleasant and difficult experiences. (Of course, I think people called geniuses have also gone through hardships.)
So even if they encounter some kind of trouble in the future, I think they can push forward strongly, feeling like, "Compared to that hardship, this is nothing."
This also serves as a "point of comparison" in a good way, doesn't it?

Thinking about it that way, even if you are currently living a life far from your ideal,
"I'm just in a period of increasing comparison material for the future,"
if you view it that way, it might not be such a bad thing after all.

So, even if it's a terrible experience, it can serve as "comparison material" or "fodder for conversation," so perhaps it's not entirely a waste, right?
That was the point of this story.

Also, I would be very delighted if you could leave comments such as "this part was good," "this part wasn't great but overall it was good," or "I didn't understand this part but the rest was good!"

I am creating pixel art animations, so I would appreciate it if you could take a look at those as well!
