Relax. Its not some spooky blog!
My previous blog post made me wonder why I love watching night scenes in movies... mind it... not scary, bloody and terrifying scenes but rather nice and normal beautiful depiction set in the nightly sky and then I recollected how we all used to love sitting under start gazed sky till midnight on our hostel terrace and how we all continued this practice in Jaipur flat and then Bangalore flat. I think all of our secret and soulful discussions were at that time with a warm cup of coffee. I decided to google about it and found some amazing results ranging from people suffering from various disorders to having dark triad. Well I beg to differ with the results as I specifically don't remember planning and plotting evil things in night but always those times were filled with love, laughter, music and joy and most often imaginations and dreams.
But ofcourse I do agree that some psychopaths use night as tool to hide their triad from others and people often get carried away in taking wrong decisions and thus I made my own assumption over this very fact of being a "night lover". Ok well so to start with you can be a day person like me and be a night lover at the same time. See you don't have to perform love every day right? Keep the night love alive for special occasions.
What is it about night and darkness? Yes it can be depressing as you logically can't see clearly like you can in day light and one depressing thought can travel a long length due to this very fact. But at the same time, isn't night comforting also. It can be one of those times when a silent and sleeping desire gets its wings which is many times not plausible in day time.
Fact is that one strong thought or feeling can stay for a longer time in darkness and if this is a happier thought then whats better than that? There is a very simple reason behind it and that is your guards are down at that time and there is shush around you and so what you would most likely do? Contemplate your feelings or roll with it? I guess the second choice will win the battle.
Arent people more creative and dreamy in darkness and I guess apart from the obvious scientific reason of frontal cortex advising you to shushing the day and other part of brain then taking control to burn the fuel of creativity instead, I feel the common reason would be that "no one is watching" or "no one will disturb the process".
Ya people are creative at such times and often times the weird dreams which will shy away in daylight will comes to life in those moments for all of us. Isn't it right? Well it stays until the logical brain intervene and starts contemplating and tells us how stupid and audacious we were at those moments.
I think media including novels and movies has caught this amazing love of people and for years have depicted beautiful scenes in night. Yes ofcourse there are a major chunk of scenes depicting the usual "act of love" so we would rather no go there. Some of the picturization I just loved are -
Barfi Movie song- is dil ka kya karu
The song sequence is just amazing. Hush melody, starry night, clean washed hill roads, quiet world and out of no where Ranbeer on horse. Words are of absolute no use at that time and works wonder with the character of being a dumb and deaf person.
go exactly to 3 min
Ek Main Aur Ek Tu - kal chalna shuru tu
Imran understands the word freedom and leaves his house. Yes the absurd thing is he starts driving in Delhi and within night he reached Mumbai. But hey leave that alone. We are here to praise the beauty of scene.
A Walk To Remember
I know I know this is one falls in romantics category but the scenes were pleasing. I guess I have developed some kind of thing for clean atmosphere and here we go again. A refreshing weather and Landan Carter fulfilling Jamies wishes.
Hum Tum Song - Sanso Ko Sanso
What a mesmerizing song with arresting video. Its typical Bollywood dream sequence and still yet again I fall in love with the scenes.
Titanic-legendary scene
Yeah this one is not pitch dark but rather dawn. I guess it falls in the same category somehow. See I know I am wrong but whatever I love this scene so here it is -
Sanjay Leela Bhalsali
I just named the guy to be easy as his films are basically shot in dark with some scenes in daylight. I guess he and I share the same kind of night view love.
Wake Up Sid
How can I leave this one out. My favorite. Be it the first time Aisha and Sid go out for a walk or their time together or aisha's birthday celebration. Hmmm mesmerizing.
Parineeta- Raat Hamari To
Well well a song is completely dedicated to night (raat). I know its melancholy but nice view and song is just amazing.
Notting Hill
The best ever scene I have seen. William saying "Now what in the world in this garden could make the whole ordeal worthwhile? "
Please do add more such scenes in comments as at this moment I can not figure out more but I am sure there are more such scenes.

“I love the silent hour of night,
For blissful dreams may then arise,
Revealing to my charmed sight
What may not bless my waking eyes.”
