In these days when we sometimes are removed physically or emotionally from our support network of family and friends, Filmosophies can have an unintentional, intangible value as instructional guides through life’s simple truths; validation that you are on the right path; just plain good advice or; a philosophy on how to make the most of living. Who doesn’t love going to the movies - the universal experience of being one of those “peopleout there, in the dark” that silent film star character Norma Desmond alluded to at the end of Sunset Boulevard (1950)? We are transformed when we watch a film. We identify with those celluloid characters. We are transported, however briefly, to that time and place in the film’s story. Who hasn’t identified deeply with a character’s struggle in a film, or exited the theater with a spring in your step after an adventure flick made you feel like nothing was impossible? Sometimes we even find ourselves in every day conversation reciting a line from a film with the same inflections and intonations as the actor used to deliver it on the silver screen – all because we connected with the character in a movie. This post is the first entry in a blog that compiles character dialogue quotes from film. They are edited and graphically translated into memes. (Memes are ideas that spread within a culture through writing, images and rituals.) But the memes in this blog are different than others you might see in pop culture. These offer more than the casual observation on life or capitalize on a current cultural catch phrase. Filmosophy: Advice from the Stars endeavors to provide valuable tidbits, basic truths and good advice on life. And, instead of being offered by your mom, an avuncular family friend or high school buddy with whom you’ve reconnected on Facebook, Filmosophies are just plain good advice or basic truths about life from the stars you know and love on the silver screen.  follow on Twitter | friend on Facebook | forward to a friend  Copyright © 2013 Filmosophy: Advice from the Stars, All rights reserved.
