It's said alot by people who haven't done much of anything important.
There seem to be some universal truths.
- Things get bad overtime but can also just turn bad suddenly without warning.
- People think they are smarter than they are a good amount of the time.
- The longer you have studied and educated yourself, the more inclined to think your thought process is connected to truth and logic.
- The person talking the longest and loudest has the most chance of being wrong.
- People forget why patience is a virtue and they also forget that anger and envy are sins.
- Delusion can be an important thing for people.
Not starting out being self or any other kind of deluded is a good way to begin.
The cynical people out there hold to some of their own truths when trying to tell stories....
- If it doesn't seem like something is going on...throw in some quippy dialog.
- A smart ass should win.
- Overcoming self or another kind of delusion is character building.
- It doesn't count as exposition if there are lots of questions being asked.
I like Animation and how you can illuminate the thoughts of people without a running audio description. But the animation character moments these days seem to have so much talking over them. I suppose it is a real challenge to make long stories that build levels of character depth by showing things happen.
I am reminded of Aladdin where Aladdin and Abu give up their bread to two tiny street urchins.
If you turned off the pictures then you would not be able to tell what was going on there.
Good acting and staging. And you got to see The main character go from a adventurous thief to a hungry real hero.
