Steven Speilberg--a symbol of pop cultures in USA


Is Steven Speilberg a genius? He is a very first director continuously in movie industry so successfully using visual effect to driving in so much profit after Star War.

Looking at the movie of "Twister" in 1996, the unbelievable special effect grab everybody's attention. The Oscar gave the award to the actress of this movie. Let take a second look of the whole movie, what is the major element of this movie to be successful. The Director, of course, no one will doubt his talent of conducting of the visual effect and coordinating his unbeatable technological team who make this movie visual success breaking the record. And let us take a look of the actor, actress inside this movie.

Throughout this movie, what those actor and actress has done anything impressed any special attention with their acting skill or their inner interpretation of anything? The Oscar gave award to ass-kissing the crowd loving idol who are actually worser than animation created figure. For the reason they only did what an animation created figure could do, but one thing different is they got Oscar award.

The whole culture is working on pleasing majority, when the main character is white whatsoever, even they did not do too much, they are the one stand on the stage receiving award winning compliment. How about those tech team who are really made this movie got the attention this movie deserved. But, instead, is a blond hair white female standing on the stage receiving all of ass-kissing applause from the crowd and Oscar.
Steven Spielberg, an icon of American movie industry, is truly deserve higher expectation than just ass-kissing majority and or just focus on Jewish sorrows in history. I really wish, as an audience, can see more of his love to whole mankind because his great talent is too cheap to waste on any of ass-kissing project. So does to this powerful country should let go of a talented movie director for allowing him do something valuable to challenging himself, instead of all of this cheap ass-kissing-majority projects.
Let us looking at another movie of Amadeus Mozart 1984, looking at the acting skill of those actors inside this movie. What this movie reflecting the natural human ugly element inside you and me like jealousy, like being spoiled over the reason of talent, appearance, or fame, like the Mozart inside this movie died in working hard under his father's demanding shadow.

And then let us be honest to make a rational judgement about the value of an actor. Entertainment field and all of its workers including those famous actor/actress should looking into themselves to working on earning respect from others, not just using promotion skill to earn Oscar's ass-kissing.

My 15 years old daughter is going to out smart me.

My daughter now is 15 years old, she told me the reason why the host of American Idol announced the best singer first who used to be the last performer in contest; which is for the reason will allowing the rest competents and the audience to immerse in the anguish of guessing and expecting. I am surprised she can think so deep while we all are still watching the continuing show and the music is aloud in the room, and she can think about with this aspect of meaning while continuing watching with the noisy background.

I remembered my daughter was deeply amazed with the character of Black actor Mr. Morgan Freeman in the movie of "Shushing Redemption", and some other of his movies when she was a 4 or 5 grader. From fifth grade till now she is keeping searching on wise old man, or whoever is wise enough to get her attention in our lives or any story or movie she has chance to watch. At that time, I even worry she is fell into a wrong perception about the job description of an actor would need to perform in a movie or show, for their job is acting and performing; I then therefore try to tell her more about actor and entertaining fields to help her understand she can not completely believe what she see or watch and make a conclusion about a person's value. Even though, we do agree an actor or anyone in entertainment business need to posses the ability to choose what kind of role they want to play in order to reflect their own personal value.

While I am searching the value and how this western country run their business in western culture, I do see my daughter and friends around her performing the quality of a child growing up in this country, which of course including all of sneaky people skills and gossip as well that they learned from adults around them.

I am also watching them draw lines between certain issues, I am happy to see they learn all of this necessary skills that sometime I don't even able to do myself; and I of course will shout to them if they forgot certain line drawing issue.

As my daughter is a teenager now, the only thing she could not be overcomes with her age's intelligence, which under my observation, is American style of day time romantic soapy drama and I think that need my long time watch closely and give certain inputs to adjust the way of her thinking about those artificial romance on media.

Today she is browsing online try to find IQ test website and saying her friends IQ is 145 after took the online test, her worrisome burden her in searching that website while I asked her how she think her IQ should be, and she claim she must need to have 250 in comparing all of her smart friends. Social measurement of IQ among peers, I then told her surely I will grant her 250 IQ, so she could rest and starting on her home works.

John Rohn--they call him Philosopher

Many times I found someone or something interesting, who or what has actually been famous out there for a long time.

  • If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much.
  • If you go to work on your goals, your goals will go to work on you. If you go to work on your plan, your plan will go to work on you. Whatever good things we build end up building us.
  • Learning is the beginning of wealth. Learning is the beginning of health. Learning is the beginning of spirituality. Searching and learning is where the miracle process all begins.
  • Let others lead small lives, but not you. Let others argue over small things, but not you. Let others cry over small hurts, but not you. Let others leave their future in someone else's hands, but not you.
  • Success is doing ordinary things extraordinarily well.
