I missed my Reading Diary on Tuesday and making up one
today. I am still watching the Mahabharata by Peter Brook. I really enjoy
watching the film even though it is super long. It is nice getting to break it
up into shorter sections though. My probably my favorite scene that I have
watched this week was when Bhishma got hit by an arrow and was just laying down
kind of waiting to die really. Bhishma said to Karna, “Can you fight without
anger, without pride?”
I was like that is so awesome! And when you think about it,
those few words are so deep. I was not really expecting to be so convicted by
those words, but I just felt like you could really apply those words to your
life. Bhishma is so profound and so deep! I feel like you should ask yourself before doing anything, Can you do it
without anger? Can you do it without pride? Maybe we would make regrettable decisions
less in life if we did ask ourselves those questions!
I really look forward to finishing the movie! As far as
storytelling goes, I am not quite sure what I am going to do next!

You are the second person whose blog I have read that commented specifically on how Bhishma died in the movie by Peter Brooks and how it was an excellent part. I wasn't going to do this reading option, but I am starting to think I should! Your description (and the last persons) are very intriguing.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to reading more from you.
