      The video game bit made a bit of sense, because of how mook behaviour is following a certain "convention" despite being not completely efficient. Michael talks about easiest way to victory. The pencil bit is what I don't get.

    • @DRakshasa
      @DRakshasa Před 9 lety +30

      LBM Goneplaid He said "Even if you write something with a pencil, it is technically still written in stone" or something like that. This might refer to a multitude of things he talked about like "laws of physics" or he might mean it a bit more metaphorical, like, we treat the laws of love/war as if they were written in stone, even though they aren't.
      You can actually do a lot with the simple mention of the pencil. Stuff like this is why he's a genius.

Utah was prevented becoming a state until polygamy was outlawed and it finally was making it the 45th state in the US.

    Ahh yes, pen or pencil is mightier than the sword. That means pencil could be used to write a love letter to a soulmate, or could be used to write a peace treaty to another country instead of a sword and hence, could be easily used to win a war. Hence, proved that everything is fair in love and war.

      Yeah, but if they miss absolutly all the time, it takes out the element of danger and thus, we do not feel any anxiety or fear for the protagonists. For it to be interesting, you have to make the ennemies do bad things a few times (preferably at the start of the movie) or make you think that they are very dangerous. You wouldn't feal any fear for a man with a chainsaw fighting a tree

    As kid, and still, I never truly liked romance films.
    There is always a love triangle in which two form a couple and live a perfect happy ending as protagonists. But there is also the third one, who ends stranded and as a character which most of films never even bother to give disclosure.
    I watched those films for the stranded character... they always felt more real to me.
    Seems edgy, but, it was always an adventure to see them go through such desperation that we are so familiar with in real life; and even to hope for them find a solution to their heart.

    • @florinmoldovanu

      It's because in both love and war which is one only winning matters for most people. The fact that you have a keen interest in the suffering of others denotes a level of empathy above the majority of the population.
      Love and war are one and the same because their concern is with the survival of the self with which one identifies with and this identification with the self is brought about by culture therefore no matter how much love we are going to preach we will always endup with war. It's inevitable.
