As we humans face loss and grief on a daily basis, it's challenging to see the good in all the change. Here's a better perspective on how we can deal with this inevitable feeling and why it could help us grow.
What a scary meaning for such a small word. Loss comes in all shapes and sizes. Just like us. Just like human beings.
A loss sends us into a spiral. An uncontrollable, spirling feeling you feel coming up your throat. Oftentimes, when we experience loss, we beg for the "one mores". One more hug, please. Can I have one more kiss? Just one more laugh we can share? We wish for these experiences to just happen once more as if that would ever be enough.
The reality is that even if we were privileged with one more, we would want another. And another. We'd never be satisfied. We'd eventually just wish for eternity.
Loss is necessary. Loss is natural. Loss is inevitable. Loss was never defined as easy. In fact, it has to be hard. It has to be hard for us to remember. To remember those warm embraces, to remember the feeling of their lips on yours, and to remember the smile on their face when you said something funny. But why are we so afraid of loss after all? We are so blessed to have experienced it to begin with. It means there was a presence of care. That ache in our heart and the deep pit in our stomach means there was something there to fill those vacant voids.
The empty spaces were just simply whole. We're all so afraid of change. Change in our love life or our families, change in our friendships and daily routines.
One day we will remember that losing someone isn't about learning how to live without them, but to know their presence, and to carry what they left us behind. For everything we've deeply loved, we cannot lose. They become a part of us. We adapt to the way they talk, we make them a part of our Instagram passwords, we remember when they told us to cook chicken for 20 minutes instead of We as humans are so lucky to meet so many people that will one day leave us.
We are so lucky to have the ability and courage to suffer, to grieve, and to wish for a better ending. For that only means, we were lucky enough to love. It would still be utterly batshit stupid and pointless, but it might have been better than no explanation at all. As if he set it up that way. Seriously, think about how ridiculous that is.
Contrast this with Moulin Rouge. For all we know, nothing more important is going on in the background. That makes the relegating of other characters to the background less problematic and distracting.
The only things I praise Titanic for are its visuals and unique perspective. Because of limited technology, it was near impossible to show a realistic and terrifying sinking scene, so a lot of films and documentaries had to work around that limitation. That had its strengths because you could focus more on story and character, but it was lacking an important piece of the puzzle; something to make the story more whole.
Skeptic Smiley Shirt seen below, goes over the technical side of how the ship sank, complete with a cg model on a computer and emotional detachment bordering on disrespect, and after a somewhat haunted look while observing the presentation, old Rose remarks that being aboard the ship during that moment was quite different. That is great build-up and foreshadowing, and it preps both the audience and the recovery crew in-story for the notion that there is a difference between understanding how it happened and respecting, truly appreciating, what the experience must have been like for the poor souls trapped onboard.
Sure, he was being kind of a dick earlier, but not irredeemably so. Or Molly Brown. Back to Moulin Rouge! You could probably guess that yourself, but can you guess what the reason is? I get that; his fangirls were pretty rabid for a while. But on that statement, I have to really disagree. Satine has to choose between her dream of working her way up to being a legit performer at a legit establishment, and committing to Christian. As the film goes on, we learn that the consequences of choosing the latter may put her friends at the Moulin Rouge, as well as Christian himself, in danger.
The threats to her and those she cares about are clear, as well as understandable. The scene only serves to make us hate her more, much like the Cal table-flipping scene, but why did we need to hate her more? More importantly, what is the real harm if Rose chooses Jack over Cal? And what connection, if any, keeps Rose somewhat loyal to her mother?
You see? Both musicals tell the story of controversial historical figures and take artistic license with simplifying their stories; Hamilton has to break down a complex political history into a digestible package, and The Greatest Showman treats P. Barnum as a mythological figure instead of a historical one, using his life as a framing device to tell a story about inclusion and acceptance. While critics condemned the movie-musical for this, The Greatest Showman was never marketed as a legitimate reckoning with the legacy of P.
Barnum - but a fun, flashy musical about acceptance and creativity. Criticizing The Greatest Showman for its historical accuracy is missing the point of the movie, which never advertised itself as anything but an escapist fantasy with a killer soundtrack and a visually lush design. Ironically, Baz Luhrmann's movie-musical Moulin Rouge! While The Greatest Showman failed to critically examine P. Barnum, audiences loved it because it was exactly what it promised to be: a classic rags-to-riches story, starring an intensely relatable underdog challenging the wealthy and villainous elite.
Musical theater has long been disparaged for its inherent corniness, and being decidedly uncool; a reputation Broadway has been pushing back on the subversiveness of Hamilton 's diverse casting , or the critically acclaimed revival of Oklahoma! Instead, The Greatest Showman embraces every convention of the genre and celebrates it with a megawatt smile and a kickline. The movie's subplot about a curmudgeonly critic who hates Barnum's circus for not being serious theater almost winks at the critics, and makes it clear that The Greatest Showman is determined to be a broad, escapist movie about the expression of joy.
Devoted fans of the movie credit that escapism as part of their love for it.
