An oscar winning life
important ingredients before the final CUT!
I watched the Oscars last night. It’s been many years since I’ve tuned in. I found this year’s presentation different than so many I’ve seen in the past… in a positive way. There seemed to be more inclusion, a broader audience, and more participants that didn’t fit the historic Hollywood mold. I loved it.
But my takeaway was listening to a few speeches about the importance of those we spend time with, the actual cheerleaders of our dreams and aspirations. Life is not a movie set where we have numerous attempts to perfect the scene. While we can tweak things after the fact, our experiences are typically one-and-done, so we must be mindful of our days, how we fill them, and who we spend them with.
Well said. I watched and felt similarly. I love what you say here. I've often heard that each person we interact with or are in relationship with shows us a mirror or ourself. Jung said if someone is irritating us, that someone is showing us something deep inside ourselves. You are so true it's one-and-done. We can congratulate or criticize afterward, and if thinking instead of judging, can consciously make better in the moment, but these are choices we do have and we should use them. Brilliant perception. Apparently the Everything movie has won over 150 awards, more than any other movie ever. The closest one is Lord of the Rings that won 100 awards. I could only watch 31 minutes of Everything. I heard someone say yesterday that young people love the movie and old people not so much. I guess according to that, I'm old. I just felt uncomfortable with the chaos and it reminded me of a time when my life was nothing but chaos. I realized I had a choice in the moment to choose to watch something that wouldn't make me as uncomfortable. I understand now that the movie was about love. Not sure I have to endure so much chaos to learn what I need to learn about love. Have you watched it and can you answer my questions? If you don't have time, I understand.
I agree! I loved that many Oscar winners thanked their parents.
