Why Are You Here?

79th Annual Academy Awards

I'm not sure if I told you but actually I'm very afraid of ageing. I am very afraid of the day when I reach 50-60 when all my skin will start sagging, my face full of wrinkles, my head full of white hairs, my mobility reduce to walking. If it is possible I would like to stay young forever but of course this is not possible as the world have only got this amt of resources and if people don't grow old and die, the world will be overwhelmed with people. Resources will be scare and people will start fighting and perhaps world war 3 will began.

Yesterday I watched 79th Oscar LIVE on TV because I'm not working and this lady emcee introduced to this segment where they commerated those actors, actress, directors, scriptwriters, music score writers who passed away during the period from the last 78th oscar to the 79th oscar.

Looking at the images suddenly invoked me to the thoughts above of immortality because looking thru the screen, I understood that a person may die but his/her legacy will still live on the screen forever. Perhaps that's why movies and TV is much power medium because once you are captured on the film, you are immortalized and you can live forever as well. But of course you have to best pray that either you are a pretty bombshell or if not you belong to those with talent.

And I also understand why Hollywood and the Western will always be leap and bounds in front of Asia because the things they do, the talents they have and the technology they used is way way far too advanced for Asia to catch up with. Looking at Martin Scorsese winning his 1st best director award, presented by the 3 great directors Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and Ford Francis Coppala...how to fight like that? Haha..

And boy I'm glad I did mange to catch the Oscar~
