but you know i stand on the other side of the fence with this one.

i actually love this movie, and agree with 90% of this article. yes, there is a child in all of us, that unfortunately, humans loose that child as the more they get consumed by the world. so most of them long for that feeling to be fearless and innovative again.

i draw the line when when outlandish and interruptive behavior (like Max, Kanye West, Joe Wilson, or The Guy Who Threw the Shoe at Bush) becomes accepted. when an adult acts like this, they are no longer exercising innovation, freedom, or fearlessness. they are actually doing the total opposite of the three.

Granted, there are times we all feel like “throwing tantrums”, but really does it help? it doesn’t solve anything. And there are a lot of excuses and apologies following. A child (or an adult that still acts like a child) must learn to find balance and a sense of consciousness (of space) in their actions. And doing this will not hinder any rights for him/her to be an expressive individual. Or even to disagree.

Being mindful of personal contributions (whether its a pro or con) *circulates the freedom to be*. It actually encourages innovation and fearlessness.

Spike Jonze did it! He used his right to create through film. You just did by writing this article. And I’m doing it now. All of which, we did (are doing) in a conscious manner. Nonetheless, there are universal laws for expression (whether its art or dialogue).

Which is essentially the lesson that Max learned at the end of the movie.
