Are there any movies that trigger any kind of PL recall in you? Like does the setting of the movie make you want to keep watching it because it takes you back to a different yet familiar time?
Below are some movies that triggered something in me when I watched them. The setting made me feel nostalgic and I couldnt stop watching the movie b/c of how warm and fuzzy and romantic the setting was
-Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. However Gone with the Wind (a great movie btw) did nothing to make me feel nostalgic.
-Midnight in Paris paris during the jazz, beatnik age.
-movies about gamblers, bonus points if that movie is set in the desert. A lot of old time westerns, The Hustler with Paul Newman, U-Turn with Sean Penn.
-Documentaries about the Wild West, Billy The Kid, Doc Holiday, Wyatt Earp, Annie Oakley
I had a wonderful PL where I was an African Warrior and tribal chief. It was not traumatic in the least and I accomplished a lot for my tribe and did a lot for those around me. I enjoy watching documentaries about tribal Africa, but however if there is a movie set in tribal Africa I feel depressed. However, I enjoy documetaries about ancient Egypt. I had a PL in Medeival England also. However, same thing I feel depressed watching anything to do with Medeival England. Masterpiece theater where it deals with rainy, dreary 1800's England also depresses me to the point where I have to shut off the TV no matter how good the story line is. Anything to do with WWII, or movies set during Nazi Germany make me feel unhappy and unloved for some reason.
I have a great deal of respect for Native American culture but for some reason I feel depressed when I watch movies set during that time that focus on the Native Americans rather than the Wild West. Perhaps its sadness over what happened to them, IDK. Could it have been something bad that happened to a loved one who was native?
Sorry for this long post, but I was wondering if there were others who like me felt a kinship or nostalgia to certain movies but depression with other movies time periods etc.
