the Stories used to describe a change over time: a development, a maturation process. But now, something has happened.
I see the ”I feel pretty”, the movie where Amy Schumers antihjältinna hit in the head, hard, during a spinning class at the gym, and when she comes to sans again is she – plain, sweet and earthy – hux flux, is convinced that she is good looking as a supermodel. Fun!
I see the ”Je ne suis pas un homme facile”, which is about a genuine French mansgris that strikes in the head, hard, in a road sign, and when he regains consciousness he discovers that he is living in a kvinnovärld à la Youth, where it is the men who courted – and, he realizes soon: hunsas and cowed and inkräktas on. Interesting!
Then I see ”Isn’t it romantic” about a girl who secretly loves romance, but he himself is blind for love – until she was hit in the head, hard, into a pillar in the subway. Oh well, okay.
Maybe this is just the late 10 century version of an 80’s cheap ”it was just a dream, all of it”.
I hear in the pod ”Alex and Sigge,” if ”Yesterday”, whose premise is that a failed musician gets hit by a car and hit in the head, hard, and when he wakes up, the world is the same, except for one thing: The Beatles never existed. Which he takes advantage of. Original idea!
at the same time, I wonder: Why are circles so many of our contemporary fairy tales about head injuries now? Maybe this is just the late 10 century version of an 80’s cheap ”it was just a dream, all of it”. But nowadays, it is always a pipe dream it is all about. Life as skallskadad is perfect, but turns out to have disastrous consequences.
it says something about us, about how polarized the world is now, when people on the film, therefore, can not be expected to take a different perspective by voluntarily opening itself up to it. When the only possible way to get a new view of things, to experience something new – to change, develop, mature – then hit in the head, hard.
