I am definitely a buff of visual media. BUT now I am facing a dilemma:
I don't know where to start. I can't even decide when there are so many good movies and great documentaries and therefore I am faced with the undisputed fact that I may have to sacrifice them if I start watching TV series. 😀
Life is too short now. There're only two more decades before I will turn 70 which is the Maldives' life expectancy age. So shall I sacrifice the TV series and instead watch good films like "Officer On Duty" and "Santosh" and great documentaries such as "No Other Land" or shall I sacrifice those for all the spin-offs - such as "House of the Dragon" - that George R R Martin has announced based on his "Game Of Thrones" universe?
This is a real problem I face now as regards to whether to choose either films and documentaries or TV series!
I guess these thoughts have popped into my mind this week because this week, after much much much delay, I finally watched India's first time Cannes winner "All We Imagine As Light" (2024) and it is awesome - in the sense I felt like going back to arthouse movies after a long time. This is why I feel I can't sacrifice films and documentaries in favor of TV series. I feel 7 good films per week is more worthwhile than 7 episodes of just 1 TV series per week.
In a nutshell, I now have to choose the way I spend time carefully because I don't have much time on Earth as half my life is over. Therefore, I guess I am back to the very very very basic Economics concept of "Opportunity Cost"!! 😂
