*brain explodes*
Uh, I just watched American History X again, since I have only really seen it twice and it was a while ago. I forgot how beautiully made and well crafted it was. I ACTUALLY can't POSSIBLY concoive how ANYONE could IN ANY WAY see that as a PROracism movie... like ACTUALLY. Unless they only watched the first half and completely ignored all meaningful dialogue and ALL metaphorical content. Like you would ACTUALLY have to be TRYING really really hard to block out the message of the movie in order to create this complete INSANE dillusion in one's mind. Like... do they completely ignore everything about it? Do they confused with the meaning of certain parts of the film. Does no body catch on? Like the boy at the end isn't shot to try and prove the movie wrong, it's so obviously a deep and complex metaphor about the future of racism. Hmm... maybe things like hate breeds hate, or that these issues have begun a very complex social problem that can't just be solved overnight... like are you really just IGNORING anything that could possibly point to something other than "yeah, now I justify my unjustified annoyance with non-whites". Like... wow... there are so many people who actually say that "American History X does not really create a image of antiracism". HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT??? Like WHAT film were YOU watching?? Gahhhh, but all the people who have sad it were already racist and I suppose it would be difficult to have to deal with your own dillusions within a period of a powerful film. GOD!!! People are so fucking willfully ignorant...
I love the movie anyways. It is way more artistic than I remember with so many more powerful metaphorical scenes and allusions. It was really enjoyable. And Edward Norton is a really amazing actor, I hope he stays around and entertains me for a long time.
Though I always have a hard time with the death of someone's loved on on films... I am sensetive... but it's better than the opposite.
Other than that, today sucked as usual, and I thinkthe job thing I was talking about is a little more complex than I thought. Though, Taran and I are trying to figure out how we can styay in PG next summer, since we're in our 20's and living with my parents makes me feel really annoyed. I *have* my own house, but I am too much of a bum to find a job. And plus the inonvinience to my family is pretty harsh, especially my mom, whom I displace. I love being there for everyone here, but sometimes all the stress and overwhelming emotional turmoil makes me crack. I wishj I could do both, but everyone has to drift away sometime (at least physically).
I want something to change, but I know there are few things I can do about my situation right now. I just have to suck it up.
