“There is something wrong with us. There is still something in us that is broken that we cant fix on our own. it needs to be a addressed otherwise we’ll just keep on being who we think we are or who we want other people to think we are. And sometimes what we show is not a real representation of who we are on the inside. When we dare to hold up the mirror to see who we really are, sometimes it hurts because we’re afraid if somebody else gets in and knows the real me then I’ll be disregarded so the truth hurts. Its when you’re stripped bare of your defence mechanisms and your ability to deny that there is a problem. thats when your relationships with others can be life saving. maybe you can’t fix yourself but you can allow yourself to be loved. By inviting someone else into your pain and suffering you are no longer along. The truth is when just the great and terrible revealer of your flaws ultimately knowing the truth sets you free and thats why love plus truth equals joy. Joy is the deepening assurance that you’re never alone and you’re always sustained by a power that is far beyond you but at the same time lives within you. One more thing, if you want your joy to be complete you can’t just always be receiving love and truth, you also have a responsibility to give it back. By speaking truth to powder, loving your neighbour not just when it’s convenient but even when it cost you something and that is when you find yourself becoming real. This is what it means to be truly human. Thats what it’s all about. Well, not all about. But that’s a lot of it”
This film made me think back to the ideas I had after watching Wings of Desire.
The ideas on secrets. I love films that have a surprised ending where the main character is hiding a very big secret, like an ill family member or they themselves have disabilities. I remember back in school idolising a particular student who seemed to have an awesome life. But it turned out that their life was a living hell and that they were great at hiding it and putting on an act to show others that they were ok. I found it shocking and I couldn't look at them in the same way. I have this idea on a character, in school who's trying to keep a great reputation and the lengths they would go to so no one would learn about their lives. They keep it all to themselves and have nobody to talk to and go through this with.
A very random note. I find this music very fitting for a scene where the main character's secret has been outed (The only video I could find of this song on youtube is on this fan made video for Grey's Anatomy. I did not get the idea from this video...) From 3.31 to the end is music I absolutely love and feel would fit with a scene where we see the main character fall apart after their secrets are outed. Unlike my other film ideas I plan to have a happy and positive ending to this film. Moral of the story would be to not go through a bad journey alone. Let others in.
