I watched this film, A trip to the moon, by Georges Méliès, the first science fiction movie that came in 1901. He was a french illusionist, artist, film director, experimenter, and inventor of special effects.
At the time when the movie came out, it poured upon the public greater questions about humanity. Are we alone? What does it mean to be human? Are we good people? What are we doing? and so forth. Considering the time when the movie came out, its contribution was way ahead of its time. As we have progressed, if we really have, we should have greater narratives and even greater questions to think about. Yes, we are advancing in terms of technology in so many better ways, but now we’re here today, and we still ask the same questions, we’re still searching for meaning and the truth. We’re looped to think about ways of communicating, but are we really communicating? Do we even want to communicate?
We’re always stuck with making sense out of so many things, to know the “truth”. When really I don’t really know if the truth is really the truth, and maybe that’s why we can’t find it. Today our existence is becoming non-tangible, and we’re moving away from the earth, the idea of earth and having all things organic and structured must’ve been the truth. We know how we came into being and what we ate and did, but do we really know what we valued when we came into existence? How long are we going to go now, to seek what’s already here around us? Haven’t we done enough as being counter earth?
But, what’s was Earth really?
