in singapore, they say everything's about examinations and shit so there's been one thing that have been bugging me lately.
the certificates for the director's list have been given out quite a while ago and it seems that all the people that have been getting it share one thing is common. they're all closet muggers. they're people who are supposed to be in JC and not really in a polytechnic because it may dampen the spirits of people who would like to fluorish and perhaps nurture the talents that they have (and no i am not talking about me in this situation because i believe that are people in my cohort [the 'A' section who are geniuses in what they do but they've never gotten proper recognition for the exception of sean who built his way up to be there]). apparently, they're lapping up all the recognition because of their ability to MEMORISE every single damn thing in the book, which sadly, not everyone is able to do such a feat.
as quoted by lin:
iq je tinggi. eq macam taik.
which exactly embodies what i'm trying to say here. we can't just pave our way through just by burying our heads under books man but the current situation seems bleak. sean even quoted someone from the mugging group saying:
"wah our group bery kleber hor?"
thank god i was in a good mood and watching lin's group finishing up their NVP1 (which was quite a good shoot, for the exception of the obstacles but it was very upbeat). If it wasn't for that, i'll go on a "PUKIMAK" bitch fit.
hell sometimes i look at the current film industry and wonder who are the people that will mould it in future, which is supposed to be ours to make and at the rate of the people who are being given recognition simply because they did so fucking well in their written papers, i can tell:
the movie scripts are probably going to have a lot of HoRx and BaObEiIs and AiYoZzX and shit like that,which i hope i would not live to see and of course before i die, i'd already have made a proper award-winning film or something. or a good photojourn (i hope)
and looking from the 'B' section of the year 1s, it'll probably be someone who'll have his name on every single role when the credits roll. apparently that guy only trusts himself and his storytelling seems to be screwed up.
i'm going to have some tea now. goodbye
