Tell you what, I know people, The cynical view of that you gotta have experience to be good has been proven wrong multiple times. And yes, I have worked with professionals before on small projects. They have actually said that I'm very smart as well, So, Yeah.

 

Thank God you're going into cinema than health care! I wouldn't want someone like you being near a patient. Do you really think you know more than a senior nurse when seeing signs of sepsis? I couldn't make that claim. And I've been told I'm smart either.

Yes, I do. Whether you like it or believe it or not. I don't really care what others think of me, But since you like it so much, tell me, Have you ever won a debate about a certain subject with someone who were 15 years older than you when you were 14? Guess not. Have you ever been told that you're very shrewd by people who were way older than you as well? Guess not either.

Okay, let's give the ol' brain a good workout. Hasn't had that in a while...

 

So Skylar, I present to you my thorough analysis! No jargon, no special terminology and no sophistication!

 

What you are, is arrogant. A person so full with his delusions of grandeur that you cannot see beyond your contradictions. I would have the tiniest speck of respect for you if you weren't so full of absolute sh*t.

 

Though I admire your enthusiasm in the "arts" (if that's what you want to call them) I can't help but fault your tact. What people perceive and how they perceive them is a result of society's doing; yet you demonstrate your total ignorance on the subject by creating such a ludicrous dichotomy between yourself and these so called "normal people."

 

Society is a great many things with a great many nuances, institutions, ideologies and beliefs. Your views seem to be some self-serving twisted form of Marxism where you are the proletariat and the rest of the world are the petty-bourgeoisie. There are so many things about the subject of sociology that you yourself ignore that there's no wonder I begin to question the integrity of your "research."

 

Furthermore, the hilarity of your hypocrisy is accentuated by your lack of "interest" in personal relationships. The intricacies and complexities of society are as such that as a result a number of meta-narratives have arisen to tackle their meaning as to what it is. Half of the subject is revolved around the workings between peoples as individuals and blowing a lot of the smoke that generalises us as one functioning unit. Yet you have the gall to somehow "understand" and be "100%" sure on its workings where great thinkers like Durkheim and Parsons have been countered time and time again.

 

That's how far your head is up your ass. I'm surprised you don't sh*t through your dick right now.

 

So before you begin to create a gap for yourself and 'normal people' please consider a little humility and don't take on a subject you clearly know f*ck all about. It's infuriating to see you type spit on something I worked very hard on for many years.

 

I've never said I'm "smart" and "more intelligent than other people." I don't say I'm dumb out of self-pity, I just think that there's a great many things I don't know as of yet and will continue to not know in the future, hell, even my understanding of Sociology is a tip of the iceberg to what it can be.

 

You might understand film and all its workings. You might have a vast wealth of knowledge on Direction that I couldn't even dream of reaching.

 

And I respect that.

 

But don't you dare belittle others with your "intelligence." It's insulting.

 

So please.

 

For the love of god.

 

Shut the f*ck up for good.

And that's because I'm different. Smart or not. I'm really different, I don't blend with people and I don't have social skills. Society just frustrates the crap out of me.

 

Then you're just admitting you're lacking social skills.

It's ok, not everybody has to have all the skills, it doesn't make you any dumber or smarter than the rest.

What you shouldn't be doing, though, is, while knowing you lack those people skills, still remain fully entitled about your opinions on people.

I'm not saying you're not smart, you can be, in certain areas. But if you admit yourself you're not smart on certain areas, why would you insist and persist into thinking your opinion on that area is still the bee's knees?

At which point do you evaluate your weakness in that area, and assess your inability to actually judge people because of those weaknesses?

 

Because right now, to me you sound like "I don't like people, I don't make effort to know people, I don't have tools to understand people, and yet I harshly judge ALL OF THEM regardless of my own weaknesses in that particular area". That doesn't sound really smart, just damn entitled and arrogant.

 

And as a director, I think getting to know people would be essential, and I mean know people, and not just read statistics or scientific literature that will always make you stay in your controlling and all-knowing comfort zone, but open up, take the risk, and just try to get out there, one on one.

I don't, because I don't need to be pampered into a false sense of superiority with those "achievements". I need to be told my deficiencies in order to progress and learn, because my patient's safety is more important than my ego. If I got a successful venipuncture for the first time for an IV, do you think I'm gonna say I'm so good? Hell no! Not even MDs make a claim when it takes years to master a skill like that. I've learned my deficiencies against people who are more skilled and more senior. Under their shadow, I've honed my own critical thinking abilities. This is what you get after feeling so bad being under truly intelligent and successful people. I have two Bachelors degrees, a professional RN license, currently working in one of the hardest units in one of the biggest hospitals in my area. So, yeah I have achievements. And yet I still feel deficient.

 

But, what is it to you? My old coworker acts like you. Because when I saw that boy cry, he admitted he's a loser. When are you going to learn?

I know people's preference and i know how to interact with others, I just don't find it something essential or charming for me.

Again, Stereotypical thinking. You wanted to know my qualifications, That if i have worked with professionals before,  So, I've told you. You're just looking for a way to label me as a jerk or a "Loser". Your stereotypical vocabulary and definitions don't interest me. Neither does your contradictions.

And since, Again, This conversation is really going nowhere, End it.

And I'd also like to say that, given the fact we can NEVER know anyone fully, not even ourselves, does that mean that we only ever know people superficially, all the time, despite whatever various levels of connection we might have? Again, define superficiality, because the way I see it, all connections are superficials, just fragments of personality we get to see, which can be numerous, but never complete.

 

I have to say that I don't think the degree of personal understanding is relevant so much as how people prioritize what they should know about the person. In a personal level, we ask specific questions about a person for both their responses and the associated metalanguage (i.e. gestures, tone, etc.). People have an agenda, which I think largely from our need to be secured from that other person, or to evaluate their worth.

 

Anyway, I like this post. So, I'm answering it late.

Jesus, Ileave the forums for three hours, and this is what happens. Look I dont care if you have a problem with each other. THs forum is for people that love or hate movies, and come to discuss them. DOes it really matter if one has different opinions about it? For example, I love LOVE Manos the Hands of Fate. Personally, it is one of my favorite films. Everyone else Ive seen it with hates it, but the film remains one of my favorite movies. You can have dissenting opinions, just for fucks sake learn to disagree. Or get married..jsut sayin

And since when does "not liking people" equates "not understanding them"?

Because let me tell you that the worst people out there, from criminals, to serial killers, or even super Hitler, I am capable of empathizing with them, and understanding them. At no point does it mean I like them.

You seem to mistake those two notions as if they're inherently intertwined. They're not.

 

I am a person that can empathize a lot, even against my will. And it's draining, but it gives me a lot of insight about who people are, where they come from, and why they are the way they are, and make the choices they do. And then, I get to understand their moral systems, beliefs systems, and I get to understand how the world works, because if you understand how society works on the tiniest levels, you understand on it works on the bigger levels as well, and how systemic powers are in place the way they are, and interact with each other.

The way I see it, he's being stereotypical, only to answer your own stereotypicality.

You judge "normal people" and claim they won't "achieve anything worthwhile" in their existence, but what is "achieving something worthwhile", and would the notion of "achieving something worthwhile" be just as much of a label as "You need qualifications to prove your worth"? except his label is inspired by society, and yours is inspired by yourself (but even that, the sole thought of thinking society doesn't influence you as well in making that label, is so delusional I can't even deal).

 

What makes your label better than his, and why should it be?

(And I'm only here saying his label is directly influenced by society, but it's being stereotypical again, I'm pretty sure there are other factors influencing him, but for the sake of this demonstration, we'll pretend it's not)

Wow this thread got wild........ Lots of emotion and worthy of a movie of it's own........

 

"Forum Thread The Movie"

 

After The Relic I tortured myself some more and watched

 

Voyage Of  The Rock Aliens from 1984

 

MV5BMTkyMzQ3NDY1OF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwMTU4

 

4.5/10

 

It had moments but they were very few..... It wasn't nearly as funny as I thought it was back in 1984 and even then did not laugh that much....

That's my point, I understand them but i don't empathize them. It's not stereotypical, It's based on analysis, On how most people behave and act. He's replying by labels from the existent society. That's created regardless of the singular cases. I don't generalize, I evaluate. And my evaluation was that he was just a cynical person who's heavily influenced by society. That's why i used a label. I didn't use a pre-set label like him.
