Just got back from the latest Avengers movie. Absolutely amazing how special effects have become so real.
Imagine God’s sense of humor making your life and everyone else (s) life actually nothing more than one giant movie of special effects. You’re an actor, a participant, only you think your role in life is real…
People who suffer mental conditions, downs syndrome, autistic, any condition that the general herd does not… maybe it is they who know the truth? Maybe they see what is real while the rest rest securely with the make-believe they truly believe is real.
As for movies, remember some of the old movies from the year 1980 back? (age when computers were just starting to be ‘real’)
In the good ol days, people got scared by UFO ships looking like plates from a kitchen and suspended by strings. Or, monster movies where it was so obvious it was not real… but for the viewer, it seemed real enough to scare the heck out of them. Today, those same movies would put any modern day teenager to sleep.
Now, imagine the lives of people who lived 100 or more years ago. What would their role be today if they woke up to the present time? For sure, their acting skills would be very different.
So. You’re an actor. Playing the various roles you choose, or the role scripted and you accept as your own. Some of you should get an Academy Award, an Oscar. Some should look for a new line of work, maybe try the role of being an aardvark or sea cucumber.
