  • See my article on Shia: areomagazine.com/2019/11/11/c...
    Genius means carrying the child spirit into adulthood. I don't think anyone can deny that Shia does just that, for better and for worse.
    Here is the full dialogue: • LaBeouf, Rönkkö & Turn...
    I simply don't own this.

Point is I prayed even tho I was convinced it was all a lie. To be honest... you'll probably laugh. But. I found god again while researching flat earth. Now every day I wake up, I know that sunrise is there for me. For us.

      Maybe the more important lesson here is that striving to be honest with yourself is a genius in itself and maybe another step is to be honest with yourself as you change is a better line to take as this is what I really appreciate with Mr. LaBeouf as he has gone through a substantial amount of change, and still strives to be honest with himself.

  • @edgarare1190

    1:51 - guy tries to show off with an edgy question
    Watch LaBeouf neutralize this guy's pretentious question with its own perfect answer.
    The thing I'd like to point out is that the guy's question ("Have you gone off the rails or chosen your own direction?") is highly disrespectful and emotionally abusive, and yet this guy thinks he's being merely smart and quirky. This, I think parallels how celebrities constantly deal with a faceless crowd that feels entitled and knowledgable about celebrity lives.
    LaBeouf, when first hearing the question, forces the guy to repeat himself - probably to make sure he's heard the question correctly, but also (I believe) because he senses the guy is doing some sort of power play as a way to show off to his friends later. Then, LaBeouf answers the question with 1 sentence ("A little bit of both"), refusing to indulge the guy's hope that his controversial question will launch LaBeouf into some inspiring monologue. Instead, LaBeouf answers his question point-blank and cuts off all momentum from his question.
    Brilliant.

    • @b.paluska476
      @b.paluska476 Před 4 lety +2

      ​@John Doe Words are the least reliable purveyor of truth, John. And that goes for you and Shia. This was just a simple statement of gratitude. That's why I said "reluctant" and why I enjoy when Shia speaks. He has a feeling towards wisdom. Not a declaration of it. Neither do I. All creation is fulfilled in deed. Shia spoke this into creation and through CZcams no less. The deed has been done.
      To reject it is to reject ones self.
      So, what do you know about wisdom?

    • @b.paluska476
      @b.paluska476 Před 4 lety +3

      Also - Wisdom is associated with attributes such as unbiased judgment, self-transcendence and non-attachment, and virtues such as ethics and benevolence. So when Shai says this, you question his path towards it - "I pray at night when I’m scared even though science tells me there is no God … but I still pray.
      I don’t know why. It is just something I do. And I feel like I’m a better person because of it. "

    I’ve loved him since even stevens. He’s super honest, and verbalizes what he feels so articulately, on top of having this, almost what feels like, relatively small view of himself. It’d be cool to sit down with him one day and just hear his inner most thoughts. I feel like his mind is always going full speed.

    I've always loved him as an actor from the days to even Steven to now. Awesome
