I know you know what deja vu is — or maybe not. But this is a different kind of deja vu. It’s only related to watching movies – weird. Often times, right after watching a new movie, something I know I’ve never watched prior to watching it, I get the sense that it isn’t new and that I’ve watched it before in a different occasion.
It’s deja vu! I’d normally say, “this movie feels so familiar…”. But the truth is, it’s obviously familiar because I just finished watching it. The problem is, I feel like I’ve watched it at an older time, like the movie isn’t anything new. I couldn’t clearly explain it, because I couldn’t tell the exact time when I’ve previously watched it. I just know. I just feel.
What worries me is that I haven’t experienced it just once. In almost every occasion that I get to watch a new and really good movie, or series, I get this deja vu feeling like it’s something I’ve already seen in the past. It feels too familiar.
So is it some kind of a mental disease or disorder? I don’t really know the answer. I’ve searched for this so many times on the internet and I have only come across 1 related comment from a certain online forum. And the experience isn’t even first hand. She was telling a story about her mom or grandmother who experiences about closely the same experience I get every time after watching new movies. Creepy.
If you know what this is or have an idea what I’ve been experiencing, please let me know in the comments.
