In this sea of lonely, the taste of ink is getting old...
Today after work (which was good), I went to see The Corporation with Janelle. We met and ate pizza, then went to the movie. And oh my god. I have to go off on a rant now. That movie was one of the most incredible things I have ever seen. I was moved to the point that if I could cry, I would have. It wasn't sad or anything like that. It just encompassed everything I have ever believed. It explained exactly how I feel about things. It's exactly what I want to do. Beth knows the producer, and I really want to talk to him, so hopefully I can get a contact somehow. I want to do so much, but I don't know where to start. Hopefully he can help. Oh my god though. The movie just rendered me completely speechless. I tried to tell Janelle what I felt, and I couldn't find the words. It was the best thing I have ever seen. I felt such a sense of relief; I was like "THIS is what I want to do." I want to show people how they can make ethical decisions that apply to the world and people around them. I want to return faith in the government, and take power away from corporations. I'm not going to go off on how 'coporations are so evil' because I don't feel that way. I just think that the people who make important decisions are greatly misinformed on the wishes of the majority. I also believe that there is a huge untapped resource of power in groups of people. A group of people who want change is a greatly-underestimated force. I felt something watching that movie that I don't feel very often anymore. Excitement. I was jumping with it. And I was happy. I know it's hard to understand. I couldn't really explain it to Janelle. It just did something to me. It woke me up from whatever I had fallen into. I want to watch it again! I want to show it to every single person I know. If you haven't seen it yet, go. Or rent it when it comes out. It's definitely something that everyone needs to watch.
