Just watched (again) The Thin Red Line and the question asked is “Who is Killing Us” I get caught in that question. Are the crimes we inflict each other for some reason and/or for someone. It’s seems insane to think that we do this daily for no reason at all. So what is it about and who is it for? Or are we just simply insane. I wonder why we are so afraid of one another, that there is no middle ground, someone has to lose. Even the winner loses.
Why can’t we, collectively, say we are done.
Terrence Malick..voice over narrative is like someone whispering in our ears while we sleep. But it not a nightmare, it is what we’ve done.
“We were a family. How’d it break up and come apart, so that now we’re turned against each other?”
It use to be that it took many generations for history to align itself with the truth so that the regrets and apologize can acknowledged . The truth is showing up a lot quicker now and I wonder if we will think war is still worth it.
