2. Focus on Company Friends and Supporters
This week, somehow I did not have the heart to focus on my LinkedIn endorsers. Perhaps its the cold that made me turn back into the movies and the music that have lit up my life and my accomplishments. As I retreat into the warmth of my tiny studio I reflect on the great Silver Screen. And I remember awesome moments that were never mine but somehow changed my life anyways. So lets drift off into imagination and read about... movies.My Notes:
There was a little movie made in in 1985. It was called Mad max: Thunderdome. At the time Mel Gibson had just become really important. And it would his role, paired with Tina Turner, that would make him an undisputed star.
Until Thunderdome was produced there was a great pressure for movies to get rid of the violent parts. So this was going on for a while and Mad Max: Thunderdome would be the first of a couple of films that would simply break with convention on this quality. Since overt signs of violence in film disturbed me greatly at the time, I would not see the film. But I could not miss hearing the music from the film. And I found the music Sensational.
it was just what I needed to hear. When Tina turner Sang We don't need another Hero, it was right on to everything jaded and punkish. Which were I was at the time. it was intelligent enough to say that we don't need another hero: we needed something else. We needed to excel in our way, with our own faults and qualities. We don't need another hero made it possible for us, the people listenting to the radio, to still, despite all odds, try to achieve.
It would not stop my life from being empoverished and broken. but it would give me enough courage to fight for my mind and my intellect. I would dare to be the best that I could be, despite it not being anything remotely super.
So, despite Mad Max:thunder dome, not being on my agenda to see in the theatre, to me, it was important as an intellectual movement.
As I reflect on those troubled times, perhaps, it might even been a little too accepting of the fate of the exploited like me. One thing I would never do, is get any kind of payment for any work I did. This causes me a great amount of troubled nights, nowadays. Because intellectually I went as far as to be educated in Harvard for a while. But at the time, the music was bold brash and uplifting. It was what I needed to keep my pride and my dignity. I wonder, again, if any music will even pretend to have the magic formula to keep those who were exploited from being so. So, for uplifting and good even excellent entertainment, The music from the movie made an important difference.
At the time the movie was made there was a movement to get all violence out of films. Mad Max Thunderdome decided to include violence in the final version because several cast members, including, Tina Turner, said leaving out the violence in all films only dealt with people who did not encounter violence in their lives. To those who did on a regular basis, like police officers, army personnel and even teachers and social workers, the film was not only unbelievable, it did not educate people about how to deal with violence when it inevitably happened..
