By a good movie/book, not sex or drugs. I'll leave this as my first and only warning.
By "Your Mind being Blown," I mean a movie/book that had you so enthralled, so interested, so In To the movie, that your whole mind went out-off whack because of it.
I bring this up because yesterday me and my girlfriend watched Fight Club yesterday.
Afterward, I was left with a familiar feeling I get after reading a good book or getting into a really good movie. I was completely blown by the movie, mind still reeling, giddy and excited, unable to concentrate on anything because my mind was still in the movie.
While this was happening to me, I saw my girlfriend had a blank stare in her eyes. I asked her if she liked the movie. "Yeah, that was the first good movie I've seen." she said in awe.
It turned out that she has seen other good movies, but Fight Club was the first one she was able to watch all the way through without interruption.
She then told me she couldn't feel any emotions. No sadness, no joy, nothing. She just sat their, vacant eyed. When I held her, she was shaking and started to cry.
I was eventually able to get her back down to earth with some bad jokes, though she still wants to get some more "Mind Blowing" movies to watch.
SO, this rambling story leads to my question:
What was the first movie (or book) that you read that really sucked you into the plot and characters, so much that you were left almost vacant afterward, almost like your soul was still in the movie...
or if you have had a similar, less dramatic feeling, do share.
