I think if we (the humans of earth) made movies of the lives of ordinary people, we could have several new blockbuster movies. I think, under the right direction, people can have extremely interesting stories to tell. We don’t realize how interesting our own lives can be when shown in the right way. For example, my friend Jackie (who is not an ordinary human, she is more than that (or so she has informed me)) described to me (and a couple other people) her epic fight with death by dehydration and it got me thinking, she could have a movie made about her. I’m not saying we would include every second of people’s live in their movies (like The Truman Show) but if it was put together correctly, I think a lot of people would have very interesting life stories. The best part is, not only would we be able to learn from other people’s mistakes, but there would such a large variety of genres. For example, somebody who has a lot of sexual partners would have their movie as a porno.
I think authors get too much credit for their books, and other works of writing. It is my belief that they write their books with absolutely no intention of symbolism or further meaning. The teachers of the world have made up all of the symbols that we find in books. They find deeper meaning when in fact there is none there. (I would also like to point out that my brother and sister (Ryan and Erin) agree with me that all this symbolism crap is totally bunk. Furthermore, Erin would like to say that poetry in particular has been too deeply interpreted).
gahh. I was thinking "oh I agree" at the last part and then saw that you already know that I agree. crazy.
ReplyDeleteWhen you told me that you agreed, I thought it was important enough that everybody else that reads should know.
