Blog number 375 **** 19 February 2009
We went to see the movie, "Shutter Island" this afternoon. At one point this woman character asked the male lead where pain comes from. He replied, "Depends upon what part of the body is injured.
She replied in turn, "No. It comes from the brain. Pain is caused in the brain. So is fear. And anger."
I thought, "Go on! Go on! Continue." But it stopped there, as I expected it would.
Oh well. Maybe it's for the best. If she had continued to the logical conclusion, the audience might have burned down the theatre in protest.
One never knows.
People really hate having reality confronted.
