The world is waiting for us to be brave

I went to watch the movie Surrogate. These past few months I am still wondering how come with all the money in Hollywood, moviemakers still fail to create a story that really is beyond what we usually expect. Nothing surprises me anymore. I think what the movie industry are more focused on marketing the peripheral aspects of the movies rather than the quality of the story.

However I must say that the movie has a context. It basically tells a lot with the kind of human beings we have now in this planet, afraid to take risks, to get hurt. In the movie, people live in a fantasy world that they can escape what life really is. AS IT IS, with all the challenges and failures. In the end no matter how people protect themselves by having surrogates, machines that look better and can do more than what the normal human being can do, at the end of the day nothing will ever protect them. They still have to get out and take risks and finally face the world as who they really are.

I like the movie for its timely message. Just this morning I read a comment in my blog in www.ca2020.net that she always wanted to take action already yet when its time to take action she finds herself stopping. I haven't yet replied to her. I believe if a person is doing from love, all the reasons in the world will be overpowered by inspiration and action whether its for our family, for the community we belong right now, for our country and for God.

Indeed, we need more people who are willing to take risks and fight for the people that matters to them and for the world that has simply forgotten what it is to be truly human.
