Dear pipsqueaks,
*spoiler alert: this post will mention the movie "real steel"- if u've already seen it or u don't plan to see it, then read on!*
It may seem like a really predictable movie where the underdog wins in the end, but i'd like to hint u otherwise. Regardless, the ending wasn't the point- it was the "climb" to the top, the "process" to the product, the "dough" to the cookie, the "fight" to the finish. Have u ever done something ur sure to succeed? How did it feel when u've completed it? Hm, I'm gonna bet it was satisfying, but nothing more than that. Reason? Because u already knew u could do it- there was no doubt, so equally, there was no fight. But, on the other hand, beating a challenge brings a totally different feeling when u finally cross the finish line. Whether that came with victory- is a another story. The point, is that u've made it through, however excruciatingly difficult, every step of the way. U fought with all u've got. That's what counts.
Take the movie "real steel"- even though he was up against the best, there had always been a slight spark of hope that, just maybe, maybe atom will pull through n win in the end. However slight that hope was, it was exactly what kept everyone on the edge of their seats! From the first round to the last punch, it was artifically inspiring to see him get up after every fall. Just a side note: was the movie trying to send out a deeper message that no matter how advance technology moves forth, it'll never replace the "human touch", so to speak? Could be. Or that the combination will be the best invention ever? (I-Robot!!) But yes, back to what I was saying. It's more of that drive, that determination, that persistantness displayed that makes me want to do or be the same. Sometimes, u just gotta keep pushing...n let the ending worry about itself. It'll come eventually, but u gotta be there for it.
No one said it'd be easy, n if it were, u probably wouldn't get the chance.
