Influences vs My Three Words

I was surprised to find that my three words do describe many of my influences. Many of my influences are epic in the sense that they appear to be much larger than life. Many artists influence so many people in their lives. Even from a third person's view, watching someone perform in front of thousands of people behind the performer's back is pretty amazing to watch. Even when we receive applause from a good speech or a good joke, we feel good and large in a sense. Also many of the movies that influence me are epic in the sense that the protagonist is put in a situation that is way more grand and larger than anything that could happen in real life. Overcoming huge obstacles, large scale battles, and big monsters are just some of the things that describe such a situation. I also really appreciate it when people are innovative and try to do something outside the box. Movies like Pulp Fiction and Citizen Kane were really awesome for me because I have never seen anything like that in my life. Changing how the story is told, abstract ideas, and different points of view are fun to analyze and watch. As for fun, I think I was going more towards something that is memorable. I believe if you are having fun, you'll remember it, and want to do it again. Many of the action films are fun to watch for me, as well as comedy movies. "Anchorman" is a good example for me. I could watch this film over and over again because it reminds me of all the fun times I had watching it with my friends and imitating lines and gestures from the movie. Consciously or not, my three words ended up describing my influences and I hope our projects will do the same.
