tell a story..

Crash.Syriana.Capote.
Three movies which have made me wonder at the sheer creativity and imagination which some of us seem to possess. Pictorially, they are all different. While crash comes across as super slick with smooth transitions to move across the seven stories that run parallely, Syriana uses image with sound to capture imagination and Capote has the old-movie feel to it. But there is one factor that puts them in the same league. They all are powerful stories captured on film.
It all comes down to that. If you have a good story -a story that can intrigue your audience, challenge them, play with them, make them laugh, question and think - you are already on your way to great stuff. Yes, it all comes down to that.

They are different

Pilots. A different persona. People with a different view towards life. People who have learnt to love and live. They are people who accept life as it is but always strive to make it better. Time is not lost in stupid arguments or cribs.
I guess it all has to do with the happiness they get when they fly. A happiness which sustains over a long long time helping them breathe easy when troubles surround. A happiness which they share with whoever they come in touch with. A happiness that comes from realising that most fears are not real. A happiness that lasts and creates a lasting impact.
