I have realized lately that Hollywood is changing and has become less capitalistic than it was a few years back. It is now starting to produce films that deviate from the casual themes of love, life and hate. It is amazing how filmmakers now are beginning to create movies that pose truths and concepts that make us question the essence and existence of the human race and of the realities the human race is in.
Movies such as avatar and inception provide us with a glimpse of literally entering a reality different from our own. A reality that we all want to have because we find our own very boring, uninteresting and complex. It's good to know that the capitalism-serving art group of people, who before have set aside their creativity and gift, are now coming out to tell us to get out of the box, think beyond and under. If one has really understood it, he would ask, "what if?". But since we are too busy surviving life rather than question life itself -its essence and existence, the film just became a narrative of man who crossed realities for the sake of love.
All that we know are just thoughts and ideas presented to us by the people before us. Every knowledge we replaced on our heads by people who believe that these are the things we ought to know and live by. How we perceive and live by these thoughts all depends on our intellectual capacity to digest the thoughts fed to us, whether they are real or perceived real. The facts we received from books may not be facts after all, maybe they are just the facts that authorities and the superpowers want us to believe us facts. Placing an idea or thought on one's head do happen in real life and in so many ways.
The film just asserted my ever standing belief that the human brain is the most powerful tool created. It can create and destroy worlds simply by creating a thought. Any changes in the chemistry of the brain cells is enough to destroy itself or lead it to a better state. How we respond to perceived stimuli will determine our capability to decipher whether what we perceived is real or not. That is why the a man's worst enemy definitely would be his own brain. For every process taking place that go into haywire, can lead to altered state of mind or worse death.
I salute the capitalists-serving art for making efforts in going beyond the borders of money and producing films that make us use our brains and let us realize that we are indeed complex beings.
