I think it was bad
how do you feel about Kung Pow: Enter the Fist
I have not seen that film
Don't
Don't stray too far from the point
mea culpa
no i think it's a bit different when you have a specific physical thing attached to it like a film that you are describing does, a feeling though thats getting into territory i doubt most people would be able to describe, like i could describe the feeling but what weight would those words hold to someone that hasnt experienced the same life as me
Hmm
What your saying is the difference between sympathy and empathy
yeah i suppose.
Ok let's use movies again
Let me give you a rundown on one of my fav films
a similar thought experiment would be to describe pain as opposed to a physical thing, quite hard to do
Gattaca portrays a world in the future that uses eugenics to give the best possible child for the next generation, inside of this universe the main character is a boy conceived not from eugenics but old fashioned love making in the back of a car. He tries to get into what would be the equivalent of NASA but he knows he doesn't have the physical capabilities of it but he has to overcome said trials to achieve his goal. Why I personally like the film and why I relate to it is my inferiority complex to my brother and his numerous achievements and the feelings of not being good enough in the eyes of my parents. I wanted the main character to achieve his dreams cause I personally want to do the same with my life
oof
Thats a lot of text
Gattaca made me cry
When I was 19
You wimp
Oh snap another watcher of gattaca
I kid, good film
yeah gattica was a great film, i like it for the main reason it makes you question your own possibilities in the face of adversity and the struggle to overcome things tyo achieve a goal
I didn't try to embellish my personal opinion too much cause I felt like it'd take too much time
Right
But I also have a personal connection to the film that I made
In that aspect
Love is similar that you have a personal interaction
But Im asking what it is to you that makes your decisions
yeah and its the personal connection that holds the feeling, i dont have that personal connection so i dont hold it in the same regard as you, i dont know how to even choose the words for derscribing that
gattaca was truly a great film and always one i recommend to others, definitely made me think a bit
decision in what regard?
hmm
What you decide to do within a relationship
What's the comfort margin
Im not looking for empathy
You don't need to directly relate to me to understand me
no i get what you mean i just dont think in that way its a set thing, im a kinda go with the flow and adjust to the situation sort of person
maybe i was thinking deeper into your thoughts than was needed lol
Yea I told you you were
