I think I found what is so rediculous sometimes.
Edited on Sun Aug-29-10 07:05 PM by RandomThoughts
I was rewatching Amadeus, and was thinking on why not to make deals, and the thoughts that Salieri vows were not for the reasons he thought, and maybe not even to who he thought. But there is another thought in that.

Amadeus Part 1
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBWCSc8CspA

Here is the thing that I think has been so bothersome for a few years.

You find something really wonderful, a great song, or a great story, someone doing inspirational work helping people, or speaking and inspiring people. So many good things in different people. Personally I mostly do nothing, but I have been doing nothing when working and when playing my entire life, however while doing nothing, sometimes some of that inspiration from many people helps me do nothing a bit better.

And so many people think they are the bad ones, they think they can't be doing any good, they find liar when they look at things instead of finding lion, yet both are interpretations.


Then if you say something nice about something, or try to share what you thought was special done by someone, like a story or song or thought, or even an action, they want to turn it into something bad.


I think much of things is everyone thinks themselves Mozart, and everyone else is only a Salieri.


A rich person says the mediocre poor want to take their money, a person doing good thinks the rich want to take away the ability of their organization to do good things by definancing them. An actor thinks someone takes the work they do, while a writer sees the actor taking a role written for something else. A grandpa or grandma teaching compassion to a family is thought not contributing enough work by some, while that elder feels kept in stress, or even allowed to die by unequal distributions by systems that move money up or lack of health care.

Everyone seems to want to claim the greatness is theirs, when really it is in many places among many people, and many share such things.

So going back to watching the rest of Amadeus, and thinking on things like those that think 'people are where they are suppose to be' or 'it is the persons fault, because they are not like them'

Maybe that is to harsh, maybe not, but been thinking on that, if that matters... maybe that is part of the inspiration of that movie, maybe not.


A favorite scene.

I was watching Amadeus on Netflix, Posted the above clip after first few minutes of movie, however the movie is edited, so watching it in memory instead.

The movie, at least on tv at my house was changed to say something else, completely different. Many scenes in it were not in the original version.


Standard blocking, happens with many clips.


The clips might be edited also, I didn't watch them completely before posting, basically thinking on the original version of that movie.

3. The funny thing is the edits did not start happening
till the significance of posting many clips was seen.

In other words, for a few years the clips were not altered, then sometime last year, a few changes started popping up.

First it was dimming or contrast of clips, then it moved to names and a few other changes, then to complete changes to songs and movies.


:shrug:

Anything not acceptable is the same as anything else not acceptable, so as long as people know that they are being edited, then that is a good thing :)

And who knows, maybe it is that black hole getting bigger and bigger and just the wimper of space time.

:shrug: Why would it matter?

LOL

5. I think I figured something out!!!!!!!!
There are extremist that think they know what god, by their views, thinks should be done, so then from their interpretations, based on what they can see they run around trying to wipe out things like shell fish, or music, or some stories. Since they can only see it the in a certain way.

That makes total sense, and the more they panic, and can't understand the more they try to fix things by destroying things.

Of coarse, it makes perfect sense.


So someone that only thinks that something is wrong by some interpretation of some law runs around trying to fix things based on that interpretation without understanding.

It makes so much sense. So if they see something that could say something bad against what they think, they could change it to say something better, or tell a different story. The claim to know what is right and wrong, leads to removal of free speech by fear of what that speech says, which leads to book burning and removal of any speech they don't like, but being inperfect, it becomes haphazard and without real effect.

What an interesting concept, could make a story out of that. heh, if there was a reason to write one.

Or the edits are about a smear used against many people, and a wrong thing to do. By the way, I am still owed financing for travel and beer and good times from wrong done years ago.
