A Funny Thing Called Film

We often feel like J-Law
when at the cinema - shocked
Film is a very funny thing. It's odd how we get so emotionally connected to a movie... Don't lie we've all been there, sitting at the cinema, trying to hide the fact we've "got something in our eye". Well this connection we get is the main reason that film is so successful today, from feeling sympathy to grief to happiness, going to the cinema can be an emotional roller-coaster. 

Well this funny thing we call film is a big deal today, everyone has a connection with it, as everyone has a favourite film whether it be a classic or a modern sci-fi blockbuster, even if you "ain't a big fan" or "you have better things to do in your life", we are all influenced by the film industry (we are, don't deny it). 

So if you are a super fan of film or a film novice, it doesn't matter! Welcome to my blog! I'll be focusing on the Glasgow film scene and how Glasgow itself has influenced the world of film... "How has Glasgow influenced film?" 

Well stay tuned to my blog " Rebecca's Rants" to see how the Glasgow film scene has definitely had an influence on global film, and how Glasgow can improve it's film scene. Also, I'll be ranting about the things that happen to us in cinema... you know, people talking, eating loud, expensive food etc. 


So sit back, keep your arms and legs in the vehicle at all times, and let's get ready to RANT!

About Me

Hello! My name is Rebecca MacPhail and I am an 18 year old media and communication student from Glasgow. First of all thank you so much for even considering to view my blog!

I guess I should tell you a bit about myself, I like music, I like art and I love films (obviously) even though my favourite films may not be the so called "legends" of cinema like Psycho, I have no shame in the fact I love the Hunger Games (books & films) and the Lord of the Rings and so many more. I also love video games, games like Assassins Creed and Red Dead Redemption are just masterpieces.

The main reason I've actually started writing this blog is for my University course but apart from that if the blog gets enough interest I'll probably keep adding to it! "Rebecca's Rants" focuses on the Glasgow film scene at the moment but in future I will probably seek to include other things apart from the Glasgow film scene alone. Mainly my blog will feature rants about cinema/film and Glasgow based film info etc.

Thank you so much for taking the time to look at my blog, I hope you enjoy it! :D
