I added one more movie with Kate Winslet to my favorite list..this last one is "the life of David Gale"..it happened like in the others I saw recently.."the reader" and " revolutionary road" .. Could not keep back my tears falling down..
How could some people simply sacrifice themselves for their belief about changing the world for a better place..
what amazes me is not that fact actually..but the thought that they are aware that would not really change the world..
it simply takes more than an individual sacrifice to that..but they can go for it..knowing they are only a tiny fraction of a multitude of facts that can indeed make a difference.. and still willing to give up what they could live for, in favor of the reason they readily die for..
It's getting harder in these moments to use the word 'selfish' without feeling like a criminal.. I'm sure it would pass away till tomorrow, it's just human nature..and human memory.
But still ... to die for the idea " to let the world a better place than you have found it" takes a lot of courage..taken out of love..love for people, I think.
I just felt now like rendering tribute for those people out there who can feel like that.. not necessary die in the end, though.
Ps. I did not expect him to die till the last second, really..

this post is something very 'on the spot' reaction..and a very subjective opinion on a movie..Don't feel like arguing for or against facts related in that movie..Of course there s a lot of fiction and condemnable things in it. It s just that I see this blog as a way of expression..spontaneous and thought beforehand as well.
An emotion is an wellcomed tribute by someone who loves to love. This is also an answer to when to express your emotions and when to think coldly.
Yes, I agree that love is a very selfish emotion often given on a quid pro quo basis- We love those who will love us. We also tend to love those who are "lovable". I admire those who give of their love without expectation or condition; those who can love those among us that are not so easy to love.
I haven't seen any of the movies you point out, but they are on my list of things to do now...
Well, David, that was exactly what I intended to express, too..It's really hard to offer something without pretending anything in return. Damn' difficult..
