I went to the movies last night - you could call it a part of the challenge but the fact is I have been wanting to see this movie with good company for a long time now. I often judge a movie on not the reaction I have when watching it, but how I feel after. This movie left me in absolute shock and did its job by both captivating me whilst in the theatre and scaring the crap out of me as soon as I stepped out of it.
I am still thinking about the message it was trying to portray but I’m pretty sure it touched on many more than I wish to talk about.
The strive for perfection was the dominating theme, insanity close beside it and how some of us come way to close to both. How we as individuals can drive ourselves close to the definition of perfection by wanting to be something unattainable and how we sometimes strive for something sooo much to become better at it- that the ‘best’ becomes virtually impossible. In turn both driving us to the point of madness...
How, our perception of what is happening may not really be... and if anyone ever interprets anything the same? if they don’t, how is it that anyone ever truly understands one another?
It also touched on the people in our lives that we make enemies but purely through our own eyes, when hurting us may not in fact be their intention... is the only enemy in the end ourselves by perceiving it in that way to begin with.
Perfection is unachievable, insanity is to achievable and being your own worst enemy will grant you nothing but the latter of the two because the first doesn’t exist.
Something to ponder during the day- now go see the movie, you will probably have a completely different perception.
