Sometimes our lives can be so magical, so mysterious and interesting. And then there are the days that we feel the world is a drag. That nothing brings us any fun and excitement. And then again the days of magic fall upon us.
This up and down movement of our lives are normal waves and they every day state that we are merely humans. But now and then something unique happens, something so special, it could have been taken directly out of Hollywood. It fancies into our lives and is wrapped in a delicious package of intrigue. A perfect recipe for
another blockbuster movie.
How come lately I get the feeling that everything that happens around us is based on what we see on television and in the movies?
Remember the guy who washed upon the shore of England, who doesn’t speak or react on anything but all he seems to do is play a piano.
A fascinating story, catchy and surreal. Every country has displayed his picture but still no sustainable evidence has been brought in. Why is it then that we are so attracted to this story? Just because of the uniqueness of it all. It’s as if this man has just jumped out of a Scott Hicks* movie. The whole Hollywood-hey-this-is-another-good-script community has awoken as soon as this man came into the picture.
Currently the amount of scripts in the make is set to 5!
Every day time show is guaranteed to use this at least twice in the following years and it is a perfect commercial tool and they’re right, why shouldn’t they? That’s thinking commercially. From the moment we were able to display physically and verbally to others the happiness and the tragedies which strike us,we have acted
these out and we loved them because they show us that we are not alone with our feelings. These little mimics of reality help us explain the situation we are in and it is liberating.
A great example are the ancient Greeks. Their theaters and plays are the ancestors of nowadays movies and television shows. This tradition has been taken over everywhere and now there is no country which doesn’t produce films or day time television.
Our lives are time consumed so for us to watch a television show, it has to be enticing, exciting and interesting or we cannot make ourselves watch it. Basically, there are two different groups of people: the ones who enjoy to watch the misery and daily slumbers of someone’s life, and the group who love, as some critics say, Someone’s extremely clever brain to trick us all in thinking he is for real.
Honestly, when coming back to the ‘piano man’, I am still somewhere between these two groups, I want to believe the man due to my ‘romantic Hollywood- enthusiastic’ heart but my rational mind urges me to think otherwise.
All in all, with washing onto England’s green shores, this man’s life has actually become a television show and whether this is a good thing or not, I leave it up to you.
