Wonder in Colour

Keane - Is It Any Wonder?

It's rather overwhelming how things change so quickly. It sometimes just takes a second for one life to change, it sometimes takes years to breakthrough a deep and longing problem. All in all depending on the circumstances, one's progression is sought through the difficulties of choice. I have made mistakes and have spent time pondering and finding it within myself to expound penance through the deepest parts of my being, but there is also the beautiful future that is open with so many possibilities. No matter what the criteria of expectations and the absolute rules of nature's parameters, there is an infinite amount of options to take a small step forward. You have everything at your feet and every choice to take direction. What only matters is now and what you choose to do with it. The future is in your hands but not with you now, you can't have it until you've accepted all that you are now and are comfortable with it.

I have stressed many times to the point of pain and tears of not meeting the expectations of others or ones developed by the comparison of others' success. There is none but your own and it becomes a kaleidoscope of colours beyond light; pure energy.

I talk rubbish.

I saw the new version of The Lone Ranger the night before. Beautifully photographed, I don't expect anything less from a Bruckheimer film, but it was at the very least entertaining. I've lost complete admiration or energy for Tim Burton and I'm further losing grip with the hype of Johnny Depp. Handsome, talented and cool, it's rather tiring to see him in average films with average performances. Tonto was Jack Sparrow with a "native American" twist. He always does that "surprised" face when there are cannonballs or arrows shooting at him. There are better actors, but arguably without the same charisma. Edward Scissorhands (which I think is overrated) and What's Eating Gilbert Grape are his best films hands down. Everything else appears like wallpaper. John Woo and Chow Yun Fat, Martin Scorsese and Robert DeNiro, Akira Kurosawa and Toshiro Mifune, Wes Anderson and Bill Murray, Billy Wilder and Jack Lemmon, the list goes on about awesome cinema partnerships. Empty thoughts with no end result, but meh, everyone has their opinion.
