Life. Ranging from monotonous to exciting. Full of ups and downs. Falling in love and breaking up. Excitement and depression. Kindness and the ugly truth. Life goes by and before you know it, you fall into the trap of your routine and grow miserable. But if, quite depressed by your current daily chore of being alive, you found yourself in an almost magical trap without escape? What if every day you had to experience the same exact day over and over again? How would it affect you and would it change you for the better? All that life has to offer in the short space of one day and a lot of human self-reflection. Bill Murray at his best. Groundhog Day.
You can't be successful forever and in any profession, there will come younger, more talented and eager. But giving them a chance, might change your outlook on your career and allow you to go with the time dynamics. The values of each generation won't stand the test of time for the younger, just as video casettes were replaced by on demand streaming platforms. But wouldn't it be great to merge experience and reputation with the fresh perspective? Maybe this is what a true cooperation should look like in the changing times, allowing the young to learn and the old to get to know the new exciting stuff. Television is a great example of how experience supports novelty. What if two young women at the beginning of their careers were to face very stubborn established TV personalities and win their hearts? Late Night and Morning Glory. Enjoy.
In any business, for a woman to climb up the career ladder is difficult not only because she has to work twice as hard to prove that she's as good as men. She has to deal with the obstacles impersonated by mean colleagues from work, family's remarks, ticking biological clock, and a husband to juggle. To have it all seems almost impossible and very few are willing to devote the lifetime for professional work, being still labeled unscrupulous, greedy, and self-obsessed. Times haven't changed that much for the better as shows the selection of politicians, heads of the country, and people given the right to speak publicly. This is a men's world, indeed. Add to this omnipresent sexual harassment and it turns into a woman's hell. But don't you think that enough is enough, and those who sinned must be finally punished? What if one woman's voice triggered an avalanche of confessions? #metoo in the world of television, Bombshell.
Behind every evil, there's a reason. Behind every broken man is a multitude of cracks, little offenses, smaller and bigger wounds. But what hides behind a maniac who has no mercy for anyone? What triggers the bullets of unscrupulous outbursts of madness and grotesque revenge? Why should you pay attention to how you treat people, as you never know how they would react? Why our parents tend to cause our greatest misfortunes and how the biggest evil of the DC world was brought to the world? Can you really justify wickedness and is there a drop of white in the darkest of black? Great Joaquin Phoenix in Joker.
Wouldn't you like to have a little bit of fame? Wouldn't you like to share your traumas, everyday observations fears and emotions with millions of people by the means of television? Some turn this nagging need into YouTube vlogs, the Instagram abundance of pictures or Facebook and Twitter posts. We all have a need to communicate. The majority, due to the lack of means, decide to stay quiet or limit their audience to only a couple of hundred of acquaintances. Money opens many doors. What if a huge lottery win could fulfill one woman's wish to become another Oprah? Are fame, money, and power really worth the deal, or is that true that the best things in life you really cannot buy? Welcome to Me.
Some people live a life of routine. They wake up every day with the same agenda, strive at perfecting their homes and jobs. Their suburban life is ordered, moral and exemplary. What is good is good. What is bad is bad. The black and white rules of life apply from making breakfast, through sport and school life, to dating, marriage and making life as uneventful as possible. But what if perfection didn't mean happiness? What if breaking some rules and following your passions was actually more exciting and added to your gray days a little bit of color? A cinematic adventure of two naughty kids who decided to mess about a pleasant black and white TV show. Enjoy.
What if your every move was monitored by people all over the world? What if your relationship failures, fears, your growth, and problems were observed and analyzed by millions of strangers, brave enough to comment on your actions, to respond to your problems and to feel distraught when obstacles outweighed your successes? What if you didn't really have a choice but all your life decisions were made by someone else? And what if you decided to escape? Think about all those YouTube vloggers who at some point decided to share with the world the birth of their children, relationships, and passion. Having hundreds of thousands of followers, are they really able to keep things private? Or do they have to explain their every possible move and don't they have the right to give up?
Why is it so that Mark Zuckerberg is considered successful for inventing a social network we all use nowadays? Why we pay tribute to Bill Gates, Steve Jobs for their genius, wit, and courage? Why we create the cult of a man? Why women are just a small part of the decision-making board and why women agree to earn less for doing the same job as men? Why it is women who have to make a choice between family and work? Why men can fail and why women have to clean the mess? Why women should be mothers if men constantly evade the responsibility? Why childless women are stigmatized and why successful ladies have to face so much pressure? The dilemmas of so many of us. One thing is certain: there is such a big potential in all of us that we should stop listening to the words of discouragement but we ought to spread our wings. Joy. One woman managed to face the challenge.
