Reflections after the Movie

I just saw The Last Samurai, and like most movies it made me think about many things. Latenight movies often inspire my imagination very strongly, almost stronger than books do. But rather than philosophize about my thoughts, that I always do when walking home, after them, I simply want to describe the feeling. I know that when most people walk out of movies, they start thinking about things in the movie, analyze its plot, discuss it coolness, ridicule its flaws, but with movies that I like, I am instead simply moved. I often criticize it in my mind as I watch it, when something is especially wrong, or criticize it days later, after having digested it, but it would be a great waste to simply ignore the feelings raised in me after seeing a good movie.
It might now be almost too late to describe what I feel/felt, but it is a like a sudden awareness of my state. I become aware of how things around me are, how I have been living my life, and I feel like I can affect things and change everything around me. It gives me new inspiration and strength, and though it is far too late for me to share my exact thoughts here, I am glad that I was back at my computer quickly enough, to at least write exactly this. Thoughts are often gone as soon as they come, and as incomprehensible as this might seem to anyone but me, reading this, will always allow me to remember it.

For those wondering what this all means, I am simply happy and moved.
I also wonder whether it is really true that devotion to one thing is how life should be lived, or whether there is value to knowing more than one thing, if not as well. And can concentration on what one is doing at the same time be reconciled with my multitasking?
It is amusing how quaint such long thoughts can be made by putting them into brief words. I think I like it that way.
