Waching daily Feb 2 2018

why are we so fucking sad? A question one of my idols Jason Silva asks in one of

his videos. But it's a question we should ask ourselves too according to the

United Nations 800,000 people commit suicide every year. This is one person

every 40 seconds. So by the end of this video four people will have committed

suicide. And I'm not a specialist in any case or he will judge those people but I

have to ask myself how is it possible that we live in one of the safest times

in human history though more people die by their own hands than by natural

disaster and armed conflict combined! Seeing this really made me think about

what happiness truly is and how to be happier. First of all most of us confuse

happiness with fun. To be truly happy we have to reduce the amount of short

term happiness or fun to a minimum level if it's easy to start and gives you

immediate joy it's not lasting for very long

happiness is seeing the world for what it really is looking at the good sides

and be grateful for them acknowledging the bad ones and ask yourself if you can

change it or accept it. You cannot chase happiness because it's

always within yourself stop looking at it as something outside of yourself you

have to achieve stop running after your own shadow.

The first step to be happy is to decide you are

and yes, there will be hard days and there will be even harder ones and it's

your right to be pissed off sometimes but let me ask you something has your

period of anger ever changed something for good. Wouldn't it be easier to decide

to be happy no matter what happens to you acknowledge life with all its color

with the broken heart with goals to set with hope and death with tears and

smiles. Not giving up on being happy and face the bad days with a grin.

Stop chasing something you can create Stop chasing happiness but decide to be happy

and stop keeping it for yourself! Spread it with everyone around you. Give a smile

and ignite the fire and all together we have the chance of reducing 800 thousand

to a world with hope

Tucker Carlson Targets MSNBC's Joy Reid For Downplaying MS-13 Threat(VIDEO)!!! - Duration: 8:31.

Tucker Carlson Targets MSNBC's Joy Reid For Downplaying MS-13 Threat

well good evening and welcome to Tucker Carlson tonight President Trump gave his

first State of the Union address the first official one anyway last night you

probably saw it the striking thing about this speech was how normal it seemed how

ordinary it was president stuck to the script pretty much to the letter the

result was squarely in the center of American public opinion

you heard broad appeals to national unity calls for strong borders a robust

military you heard warm words for the country's bedrock institutions from the

family to our democratic process outside the faculty lounge most Americans liked

these things they agree with them Donald Trump remains controversial as a person

but the bulk of his positions are not controversial not very check the polling

on that and that may be the key thing to know about our current politics it's

mostly personal if you read a Trump speech and a British accent pretty much

everybody would applaud not everybody but most

people well maybe unfortunately for all of us last night State of the Union was

not delivered in a British British accent Democrats did not applaud in the

modern democratic party everything Donald Trump says is hate speech even

the things the left once agreed with yes Trump has changed the Republican Party a

lot has been written about that but not nearly as much as his administration has

changed Democrats if you just returned from a year abroad prepare yourself you

will not recognize the new democratic party last night Democratic members

refused to stand or clap when Trump raised the national anthem when he

praised military veterans when he pointed out new low black unemployment

numbers some refused to stand for Steve Scalise Louisiana congressman who was

nearly murdered last year by a Bernie Sanders supporter so what is going on

here well obviously they're giving Trump the finger bad manners are now a form of

resistance but what if it's more than that what if Democrats actually don't

like those things anymore what if praising our veterans or a flag

really does enrage the modern left want to tweet during the speech MSNBC host

Joey Reid put it this way quote church family police military the national

anthem Trump trying to call on all the of 1950s era nationalism the goal of

this speech appears to be to force the normalization of Trump on the terms of

the bygone era now think about that for a minute

church family police military and love of country are now merely quote tropes

from a bygone era most Americans consider those things the pillars of our

civilization and if you don't agree with that imagine a society without those

things what would it look like how long could it last would you want to live

there joy Reid would so would many of her co-anchors over at MSNBC and our

Harvard classmates and apparently most of the Democratic caucus on Capitol Hill

Church family police military those words disgust them this isn't a

political resistance it's not about Donald Trump

it's nihilism the mindless impulse to tear down which he did not build its

rage at your father translated into political terms a politics that elevates

all that is ugly and decadent and seeks to undermine the decent and the

beautiful and all that came before this isn't a philosophy it's a sickness and

once you catch it you're apt to say things like this it gives a speech

tonight in which he makes it sound like the biggest issue in the United States

the biggest threat is ms-13 a gang no buddy that doesn't watch Fox News has

ever heard of for this president to conflate the dreamers with gang members

he was demonizing our immigrants here and I was offended

so ms-13 is merely something that Fox News created to demonize immigrants

presumably those would be the very same immigrants that gang routinely kills

because they only kill immigrants we don't want to think the left really

believes any of this we're starting to suspect they really do joke entre writes

about media for the hill and he joins us tonight so Joe over on another cable

channel one of the contributors said that she was in effect triggered by the

word family in the speech that was offensive maybe it was a dog whistle or

a code word for something else what did you that that to me kind of crystallized

the response what was your view of it the view overall was who you gonna

believe are you gonna believe polls that were taken by people from people from

across the country by CBS and CNN I get their flash polls you can only hold them

and so much weight and maybe a couple more Republicans watched last night that

answer to this poll that I don't think it's skewed that much so you either

believe then or you believe pundits that primarily do their pontificating from

studios in New York and Washington and almost never venture out and all I could

think of was 2016 in the election and Wisconsin and Pennsylvania in Michigan

and the fact that no one got anything close to getting those states right in

terms of that blue wall coming down because no one can gauged through pulse

of the country so we see the analysis today Tucker and last night and then we

compare it to polls that have just astounding numbers as CNN saw its

respondents say the speech was very or somewhat positive it goes higher in CBS

it goes to 75% but here are two key stats 8 and 10 in the CBS poll who

watched felt that the president was trying to unite the country rather than

divide it yet all we heard from pundits was that this was a gloomy and divisive

speech and finally out of the CBS poll put the partisans aside those who

identify as independence 73% saw this speech as positive but if you never

heard about these polls and you watched the coverage today you would think that

this was one of the worst most divisive most darkest speeches most darkest as a

double- darkest speeches that we have ever seen from a president it's almost

as if there's a disconnect between the public and the people are supposed to be

gathering its news and presenting reality to them well yes I mean look at

joy Reid and her saying that ms-13 is a Fox story I think she got her ethnic

stump it's an FBI story as in there on the FBI list it's not like this is just

a gang that you could put together a football team with there are 70,000

members in ms-13 in Long Island not too far from me here in Jersey they

committed twenty five murders according to local authorities since 2016 that's a

big deal when you wonder I mean if you dig down a little bit how many of those

murders were people in your neighborhood or mine let's see zero how many were of

fellow Salvadoran Guatemala and Honduras immigrants a hundred percent of them so

how was it anti-immigrant to oppose a gang that kills immigrants well it kind

of contradicts what the president said the week before which was he extended

is docket proposal to 1.8 million people I mean that that is far more than the

800,000 that we have been hearing so how can he propose something like that and

be anti-immigrant at the same time it's a walking contradiction Tucker so you've

got a wonder I mean is there anyone who's in the at these networks who's

thinking through what life after Trump might look like I mean if you a lien ate

half the country or devalue your credibility with all the country because

they have what happens when he's gone oh boy it's going to be a complete disaster

I would say I mean the only reason why ratings are a little bit higher and

being propelled is because of Donald Trump and obviously the vitriol towards

him and I think what's happening now and I honestly believe this that you have a

lot of pundits particularly Republican pundits that are anti Trump that are

telling their audiences on those networks what they want to hear in

essence comfort food because on their phones afterwards they're checking

Twitter and if they are even remotely contradictory in terms of not being anti

Trump and we still saw this last year with Van Jones after the president's

address to the joint session of Congress he had praised the president said he

looked presidential and he got bullied and destroyed on social media to the

point where he had to go back on the air and say wait a minute let me clarify

what I really said so I think now at this point you have anchors and pundits

that are very very afraid that their audiences will turn on them unless they

say exactly what they want to hear and it's Trump derangement syndrome as well

which you know obviously if you suffer for that for more than four hours go to

a safe space immediately yeah it's an airless room and Twitter makes it worse

so thank you for that thank you god bless you and God bless america

Soodhu Kavvum | Setup & Payoff | Video Essay with Tamil Subtitles - Duration: 8:26.

Hello, I'm Kishor and welcome to MOVING IMAGES.

Here is a scene from a fantasy movie, Baahubali 2, where the titular character comes up with

an idea to reach the enemy.

Even in a fantasy film like Baahubali 2, this felt a little unbelievable and out of nowhere

for most audience.

The reason?

Because it was not setup before in the film.

To explain better, let's look at this scene.

The main character here has a time stopping watch but it has run out of charge and he

is about to be shot.

So, how is it different here when the main character managed to charge his watch at the

right moment?

The setup at the beginning of the film shows how and this makes this payoff not come across

as coincidence or deus ex machina, but rather a part of the narrative.

Setups and payoffs are one the things that makes a movie interesting to watch for the

audience.

So, what do I mean by setup and payoff?

The setup is when a director establishes something at the beginning of the movie and then the

thing is used in a later scene.

This makes the payoff more believable for the audience.

The setup and payoff principle is explained best using Chekhov's Gun.

Anton Chekhov, a Russian playwright, explained that if a gun is shown hanging on the wall

in the first chapter, then it absolutely must go off in the second or third chapter.

If it's not going to be fired, it shouldn't be there in the first place.

The Chekhov's gun is a good principle to follow for setting up objects

Characters

and even environment.

A setup and payoff over a long period of time works best when a reminder of the setup is

given to the audience in-between.

Now let's look at setups and payoff using a film that does it brilliantly as a case study

I'm talking about Soodhu Kavvum.

Before I get into the setups and payoffs and how they also serve another purpose for the screenwriter

I must talk about one of the methods I use to analyze films.

It is called the Storyclock.

The storyclock is a nifty tool developed by Seth Worley, an American Director and Writer.

This guy!

He developed a method for aspiring screenwriters to research films and also help them develop

their own scripts.

The way the storyclock works is, you sit down and watch a movie of your choice,

and whenever something important happens, hit pause and write what happened with the timecode.

After you are done doing this for the entire movie, you move to the storyclock, where you

picture the story like a clock.

If the film's runtime is 2 hours, then the 30-minute mark comes at 3'O clock and the

1-hour mark comes at 6'O clock and so on.

Arrange the events from beginning to end around the clock according to their timecodes.

Then split the movie based on their acts.

Soodhu Kavvum can be split into 3 acts with Act 1 introducing us to all the main characters.

Act 2 starts with the first kednap-sorry Kidnapping and ends with the gang's last kidnapping.

We have the interval or the midpoint right about here.

Act 3 is the climax.

We can already see a pattern with how the Act 2 starts and ends with a kidnapping and

how it is laid symmetrically in the storyclock.

Now comes the fun part.

Let's look for plot threads and more importantly setups and payoffs and when they happen in the movie.

There is a setup of two characters, Inspector Brahma and Doctor Dada, right at the beginning of the film,

then there is a reminder of what Dr. Dada is up to at around the 45th minute of the movie,

then symmetrically on the other side of the midpoint we get to actually see

the two characters make their appearance.

If you thought, that was a good setup and payoff, it doesn't stop there.

Remember Chekhov's gun?

We have a literal Chekhov's gun setup with Brahma's appearance

and the gun has a payoff in the climax.

How is that for symmetry story-telling?

Sometimes, setups and payoff can happen immediately, like this scene

which immediately pays off here in the next scene.

Or the scene where Nambikaikannan reveals he knows where the gang's hideout is and that

comes back to bite them in the back here.

Even the kidnapping rules is a setup, which when the characters break leads to

the midpoint of the film.

The setups and payoffs as you can see is also

a way for screenwriters to fill the run-time of their movie interestingly.

Having brilliant ideas to put in a film is only the start, filling your run-time with

ways to set-up your brilliant ideas and have them payoff is the sign of an amazing screenwriter.

Soodhu Kavvum excellently setups objects, characters, and environment and has payoffs

that are both unexpected but believable and most importantly enjoyable for the audience.

I encourage you to try the storyclock exercise next time you watch a movie you like and maybe

you'll be surprised at how well your favorite movies have been written.

Until next time, this Kishor signing off saying...

Before you go, I had a setup and payoff in this video as well.

Though I wish there was a website dedicated to Topstar, all I can offer you now is a website

for moving images.

Head on over to movingimageschannel.com to checkout all my videos.
