best damn movie ever too. i like when the old man laughs at the end.
dust in the wind.
### - loses everything and realises that the whole goddamn venture was
basically a futile joke hah...
now THERE'S a lesson for life eh?
you roll with the punches and play out all your hunches.
### - yep, that was his game plan alright: he rolled with every punch and played-out all his hunches like the very devil himself, and STILL ended up
with fuck all in the end?? some plan! (which everyone has some kinda
version of innit: getcher vit-imin-ol peeps!)
what else can poor boy do?
### - good question! well, ignoring the hysterical types who just go nuts
and start shootin' up las vegas or whatever outta sheer frustration, most
of 'em standing on this exact same point of realisation downed-tools at
that point and simply refused to play anymore! they exclaimed: fuck that!
and walked away never to play again? (a valid enough choice imho, perhaps
even the saner choice ultimately, and also accounts for why the majority
go that route) while others (a perhaps more daring minority) opted to
remain and go undercover so to speak, their choice being to remain within wallyworld (or on the fringes of it) and so do their level best to keep
the whole thing from boiling over prematurely; to try and keep people as
sane as possible either by teaching and/or guiding/influencing humanity in
some kinda way, guided by their own clear understanding that everything in wallyworld is basically a completely futile waste of time anyway that never-ever adds-up to more than fuck all...
some of 'em even wrote/made great movies like that one just to try and
help people understand! ;)
accordingly there's a whole batch/genre of books & movies just like it,
e.g., one flew over the cuckoo's nest by ken keysey + tons of others, all
of them literally works of Art :)
