In life, I often felt like getting PAST human divisions.


People are often divided how to feel on certain themes and issues, in life and also to a degree (in today's digital age its also far more visible here thanks to internet) in art mostly cinema, people are often either confronted or very strongly AGAINST SOMETHING (no matter "who" does "what" to whom and even "why" but yeah I get it I get it I get it) and feel like "ban this filth", OTHER people are, you know, able to temper some of those things with UNDERSTANDING and a sense of disturbing art cinema appreciation. In SOME matters, MORE so than OTHERS, we are often told "Yeah, but this is being called out upon" or "The movie does not glamourize it" or "It doesn't make it seem like its a "good" thing" - paradoxically for SOME of us including ME, I often wonder where and why such "falsely defensive arguments" are even possible IN THE FIRST PLACE. I mean, I've had people, normal and intelligent ones, often go mad and angry and of course against it all, but OK perhaps human nature IS more complex although obvious examples of arrogance and wrong CAN exist.

But... Point is, being a bit of a sensitive and an impressionable type of guy myself but also lacking in some areas of feel of knowledge, I often can't help but desire to get PAST it all and be on the RIGHT side of human divisions. And in some cases, even if I feel that OK some matters ARE bad but maybe a little different severity wise than others, or maybe NOT, then... A desire for helping discussion with a potentially world healing wave coming out of the world, and make me feel like I myself have nothing to worry about. Even if, yeah, strength doesn't matter, we are intimately sensitive beings, people can't help and are allowed AND encouraged to be naturally angry at MAIN deeds, not everyone is EQUALLY impressionable and wondering, not even everyone loves MOVIES and appreciates their confronting nature and disturbing albeit fictional and cinematic beauty, and some matters DO hit TOO close to home for SOME more than OTHERS, including myself. Regardless of whether in films its "A Clockwork Orange" (1971) or "Die Hard" (1988) or "Der Fan" (1982) or "40 Days and 40 Nights" (2002) or "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me" (1992) or "Salo or the 120 Days of Sodom" (1975) or "Playing With Fire" (1975) or "Deliverance" (1972) or "Reservoir Dogs" (1992) etc.

But that's just me, and is that alright overall, thanks.

Your posts remind of Catcher in the Rye.

I thought I might go crazy if I read it but I didn't.
