I really do love this movie, the story is brilliant and leaves you breathless all the way through. If you don't mind a little violence and human sacrifice I'm sure you would enjoy it too. For some reason watching it the other night had me thinking a lot about courage. The movie is all about the courage and strength of the fearless main character who finds himself in some horrible, life-threatening situations. After watching it I was thinking about my future, particularly my future in design and the career I will be pursuing once I graduate with my masters, and I came to one conclusion: I'm kind of scared. I'm excited, the possibilities are of course endless, but the market sucks and I'm not sure about what I want to do. I thought I had it figured out, but do we really ever have it all figured out? I'm an artist and an air-sign so I have a nice mix of dreamworld meets idealistic-land. I have crazy ideas and big dreams all of which will take a whole lot of courage. I guess right now, in this moment, I can't really worry about it. I can only control the fact that I have to print out these poster designs, design some mock web-pages and prepare to distract myself with another Brown Betty cupcake as a little late-night snack (I know, I'm so bad, but it's so good.) Besides, if Apocalypto's protaganist can survive human sacrafices, being chased by a jaguar and flying arrows, I'm sure I can totally survive a lousy job market and a little dose of uncertainty.
