power of communication Was just flipping through Life when i chanced upon an interview of Cate Blanchett. If you do not know who is she, she looks like this:  OK a little exaggerated but that was her comical side. Anyway, for those who really have no idea who the heck she is, she played Galadriel in Lord of the Rings and she is simply fantastic. Her acting was impeccable in almost every movie that she makes and what is her mantra? "I like to take on roles that i have no idea how to act in."Now is that cool or what?  But it is the truth that Babel seems like a pretty good show to catch. In the distant past, people tried to build a really tall tower in an attempt to reach God and they called it the "Tower of Babel". God witnessed this and was extremely furious and outraged. He then decided to create chaos by making the people speak different languages and thus the tower collapsed and everyone ran in different directions. I guess that is what the director of the movie wanted to communicate, the power of communication.Everyone speaks a language, be it Tamil, French, English, Chinese, Tagalog or whatever. We all think that English is THE language and people should be able to understand since its a universal language. WRONG. When the time comes, nothing conveys a person's thoughts better than body language. The way how Cate got shot and how Brad tries his best to save her; the Jap girl who got raped because she could not communicate with her kins and did not understand her handicap and how all these blows up to become an international matter due to a lack of communication and more importantly, understanding and explanation. And what about gossips and rumours? Same applies. Everything has something to do with communication and language. It is so important to just be able to connect and interact at the same frequency. And when you don't seem to click, everything just shuts off like a car without fuel. Anyway, like Feste,words have grown so false that i loathe to prove them true. Oh yeah Supernatural is a really nice drama series with all the spook and eerie-ness. Missed today's show cos i was watching the video clips of Metal Gear. Nice videos they have! I did not get selected for the Chinese New Year emcee position..SO SAD LAR! Kind of disappointed that i did not get it cos i had really wanted to be the emcee for this event. Humph..guess the rest were better than me so no point harping on it. Busy busy busy..Hope i can manage everything! I knew i loved you before i met you i have been waiting all my life shut up sucker. there is no such thing as loving someone before you even met them. DUH. |
