March is moving smoothly and slowly, all the while putting a layer of boredom on anything it can get its hands on. What’s making it worse is the pandemic-induced lockdown, which carries its air of stress and paranoia. Most of us are looking for an escape from the daily grind. An escape that takes us somewhere else, far from the chaotic world we currently reside in, and beyond the bounds of the imagination. An escape that reignites the spark of levity in our lives and makes us feel invested in a story other than our own. And, an escape, which refreshes us to such an extent that when we return to our everyday work, we feel motivated, proactive, and ready to take the world by storm. The main question is: Where can we find such an escape? The perfect answer is, in a movie.
