i just saw the king’s speech today and i was kinda dumbfounded by how good it was. it’s fun to see content without thinking about anything. it’s amazing how much we have invested in stuff, things, materials etc. to populate our existence. i was reminded of how much stuff gets in our way by watching this very film. a man could not get his voice to work and he stood in his own way. the scariest thing that he faced was … the radio. it made me think- what are we barraged with today. too much. i will speak from the collective we, and take the liberty in lumping all of you reading this in it! if you don’t like it- effu.
so as i was saying- in a way it’s a fucking miracle anything gets done today. we have A LOT of things to attend to and so little time to think and reflect. we just react, over and over without really seeing our reactions through. and so i censor myself in fear of not saying anything- cause i’m not doing- maybe i’m just reacting. maybe today is just a reaction to a king overcoming his speech impediment and how we must overcome our own impediments. maybe it’s just dribble.
in any case it was really nice to watch a near perfect film- i drank too much water which ruined my perfect movie watching experience.
how’s that for starters?
