Perhaps this is what illuminated Snowden.
Sure sounded familiar, the whole thing. Part of it because of the Carpenter movie, part 'cause of the news reports from a couple o' years back.
What is it with you people, you think not being caught in a lie is the same as telling the truth?
Well, I'm not sure this is the question. I think most people try to do the right thing. So hard to see one's own faults.
This is a followup to the Watergate history, but They Live is just a rehash made for fun, or even noise. In any case, the minute this blonde guy gets inside the girl's place(I mean, before that thing) I'm expecting her to push him through the windows, then call the head of the SS or cia-whatever. It was good that it didn't. That made me wish for more
And it gives plenty.
Except, I'm always very confused with movies(in general) and their pure intentions, or more to the fact, their effects. It is very clear: the more people are involved in a process, the less sincere it becomes. It all get's planned in unbelievable detail. Like all the props, cameras, lines, places.
I know for a fact many things get overlooked.
The guy's job.
It was to search for patterns, to identify similarities.
Some items, usually get ignored, or passed as trivial. Sometimes, these are the largest ideas, the most relevant. So it's all up for grabs, After all, so much depends on how the tools are used.
(This is so irrelevant, my blabbering right now. )
I just like to observe patterns. I'm thinking I might get to use some of these, somehow. Try and understand 'em better, make them work.
I wish we could trust our superiors. Take their kind words for what they seem.
Suspicion is harmful in my view.
But a form of respect, based in precaution, like the trust a salesman has in his client*, that he will get his pay, is what usually makes do.
Many times people think there is no point in worrying, that someone will take care of things.
No sweat!
That I say, is a problem.
A partnership, with a disinterested party involved, is short lived, and harmful for all involved. Vigilance is the key. Trust in vigilance.
Some dip shit.
*for continuity's sake, the reverse should have been presented, ergo: the trust of a client in a salesman that he will get the gods as expected(any couple of random guys would do).
