Gore and Shyamalan: Passionate Geniuses
I just saw Lady in the Water and then An Inconvinient Truth–two amazing films.
After seeing Lady in the Water, I was left with the idea that the most powerful films these days are those that tell stories of people finding inspiration, finding joy and youth, truth beyond the benality of the life we know–finding interconnectedness in all things and being able to die knowing that life is still larger and more mystical than we may ever know. But these films that tell of characters achieving enlightenment only serve to inpspire the viewers to dream of enlightenment rather than take action to create enlightenment.
Just then, an Inconvienient Truth spun a different, yet equally inspiring web. Arguments, counter arguments and solutions to current turmoil, world crisis, pain and triumph. No magic, no mystery, just facts. Explosive and frightening, yet managable if people want to take action, the problems seemed fierce and overwhelming, then simple.
