Random Thought - The Movie Montage
I have watched a lot of movies in my day and one theme keeps popping up over and over and over, the montage. When the main character needs to go through any type of rigorous transformation that can't possibly be shown in detail and not have a ten hour movie, the editing team breaks out the montage.
It's usually accompanied by inspiring music and scenes of a struggling but still happy person who in one moment is still weak or fat or whatever the case may be and then the next moment they are strong or skinny, etc.
If only that could work in real life. Need to loose twenty pounds? Just start a montage and poof, five minutes later you are twenty pounds lighter. Have to study for finals and are seriously far behind, start a montage and you'll pass the test with flying colors. Need to endure some insufferable family get together or event, break out the montage.
To illustrate my point more fully, watch the hilarious Montage Song in Team America (made by the same guys who make South Park.)
