What makes an artist, an artist?
I don’t believe that an artist need necessarily be economically underprivileged, misunderstood nor severely depressed.
I truly believe that an artist is simply a person who crafts his works according to his mind and heart.
The latest movie I’ve watched, The Producers, which is fantastic by the way, reassured my point of view. In the final part of the movie, the main characters were thrown into jail. They didn’t waste any time in making themselves useful there. They brought out the humane sides of the other convicts through their talents.
I’m looking so forward to the new Antonio Banderas movie, Take the Lead, which is also in the same direction of the message. But the plot is different of course. It’s about the misunderstood problematic students who are almost permanently in detention class. Banderas’ character, a ballroom dance teacher, helps bring out the best in them.
In the book, The Emperor’s Codes, the author said that most of the crucial war messages codes that were intercepted and successfully interpreted; were usually more artistically inclined in their encoding methods.
Hmm, I’m wondering, why are the fitness centers sprouting like mushrooms whereas our local theatres, art galleries and music centers require a directory to locate them?
Sad, truly sad.
