Actor on the Stage of Life
What makes a movie award winning and famous has a lot to do with the story, but the story would be nothing without a good actor or actress. When this perfection is well combined, the movie has a tendency to take on a life of its own. The movie then becomes remembered by a specific quote within the movie itself. For example..
When Don Corleone in the movie, The Godfather wanted to strike a deal, the remembered quote was.. " I'm gonna make them an offer they can't refuse. "
In the classical Sci-Fi move, The Day The Earth Stood Still. The Alien left us all a mysterious quote to decipher.. " Gort, Klaatu, borrada, nikto. "
And last but not least, the drama that unfolded, in the movie Gone With the Wind. When Clark Gable said.. " Frankly, my dear, I do not give a damn ! "
So the question we should ask ourselves is, how do these movie quotes translate to life itself ? Obviously, one way or another, we all wish to leave our mark in life. If we are good at it and play our role well, what life quote will we be remembered by ? Knowing full well that we will never be given an Academy Award for our role in this stage that we call life.
