your favorite movie scenes and why they are your favorite
Why exactly does that scene mean so much to you?
The Last Samurai,
Katsumoto's death scene. When the young Japanese commander cried, feeling guilty to have shot his once senior mentor (Tom Cruise) and respected leader (Katsumoto), before finally ordering his troops to cease the fire, and give the last salute.
I really want to cry (actually I managed not to because my extrovert shield remained intact).
I quickly vibed it with my life. Many young journalists, whom I had thaught in the past have advanced into better story tellers and are better in utilizing social media platforms to convey their messages. Some of them even became influential bloggers.Those are good progress and I am happy for them.
However, what worried me is that the future may not hold a place for the old philosophy we respect so much. Today, many have changed and we are aware. We do notice, and like Katsumoto, we know those who sticked to the old gun will be wiped out of existence.
Katsumoto just want to teach the word "dont forget who you are", the phrases that really makes me sad.
It is not happening yet in my industry, but the thoughts that it wont be long before me and my friends
will be obsolete like
the Samurai, sparks new fears and sadness.
The feeling of no longer needed. "Sorry mate you are out of date!" Bam! They shut the door.
We called ourselves the gatekeeper of information, the guardian of (bla bla), it may no longer be valid.
(
This part is boring)
Anyway, may be we are obsolete already and the entire profession has been beaten down by the rise of social media, and the new norms of sharing information. Even Google has dictated what we must put in the body text of our story, just to comply with good SEO checks in the web. I saw some examples of contents where Algorithm dictates the writers. If this mindset changes spreads out, it would potentially screw the future of creative content industry, where creators supposedly craft master pieces instead of bowing to algorithm. May be AI can write beautiful blogs or indepth news reports in the future?
Some of you said the forum is like the garbage bin. It may not really the precise word for me. May be
@Pin was the one who spilled the definition that is close enough for me.
I just cant express what I had in my head (in the real life) without making people raising their eyebrows. I hate that look.
I cant f*ckin tell anyone why I want to cry, or feel so sad when I saw that movie scene. Who cares? Lol
Even though after the movie, me and friends went to hang out and had a laugh together. It still felt like a sharp knife has stabbed you right in the heart and you still carried the pain everywhere.
Ups, may be not important stuffs, but at least the beans have been spilled. Thank you
@April for posting.
