The Great War: Shame on you!
There're two great war happened this week, really. The first is, war on Iraq. The second is, war in the red carpet. The second, as we knew recently, won by Chicago ganks (though I very loved with The Hours). The first, as everyone confused at all time, almostly in every time will be won by US. But, as I knew recently from Al Jazeera TV which relayed by local TV station TV7 (compared to biasly CNN), the things just goes ashame. In fact, it's all shames, just from the beginning.
In the very nature, mankind loved to war. Since the Book told the story of man, they're passionately to do war, in their very basic nature. Even with his very brothers. But man, as historically written, and philoshopically, love with this, instead fearful and ashame. That's man. Created by God's sake. The best creatures, in its very complexious formulas, very ashamed. But man is created to do the best. That's inspired everyman do their best, and their worst instead.
What proves me is a fact I concluded from a very interesting book that I've read recently, Devil Take the Hindmost: A History of Financial Speculation. This book tells the very nature of human to speculate, which, as some very aware paranoid-man think, the root of all evil is of course MONEY. Since its very beginning, money creates evil. And we just living in it. So, happy for you who live not for money! What makes Bush did war? What makes Oscar show happened? What makes us work? Money, money and happily we still owe the answer to money.
I hope so not...... all because money. But yes, they're instead.
So, if you're yelling when Michael Moore talk in his speech, i think you're the one of above's crazy. Shame on you!
"We like nonfiction and we live in fictitious times. We live in the time where we have fictitious election results that elects a fictitious president (there're too many "whooo" in this words, Arif). We live in a time where we have a man sending us to war for fictitious reasons. Whether it's the fictition of duct tape or fictition of orange alerts we are against this war, Mr. Bush. Shame on you, Mr. Bush, shame on you. And any time you got the Pope and the Dixie Chicks against you, your time is up. Thank you very much."
So, when Collin Farrell did his very thoughtful introduction, I know, I will loves this actor. So do I felt when Adrian Brody, a new coming actor on his first Oscar in The Pianist, I now think, okay it's enough to be paranoid all that time. I know the best man will think.
This is, you know, it fills me with great joy, but I am also filled with a lot of sadness tonight because I am accepting an award at such a strange time. And you know my experiences of making this film made me very aware of the sadness and the dehumanization of people at times of war. And the repercussions of war. And whatever you believe in, if it's God or Allah, may he watch over you and let's pray for a peaceful and swift resolution.
Yet, you're just in time. A crazy. A bad shift. May be we should back to time. But, as we know, here we are. A very ashamed war happened there, many errors, in man and weapons, many civilians has been killed in the name of very bad wrongs doers. A frustated soldiers kill his friends. And, so much more. But, here we are, though Oscar believed not so fairly (I believed the best-director should be given to Martin Scorcese), but we can't expected in what ages we lives. Or, in what amount will we be rich and in what shame history we will be noted. Shame on you!
