endless smalltalk, or about the show
- do not know how it is in Russian is called - "series"? Serials, I thought, is called a format, when series into a series of stretches and unfolds the story (as the Mexican and Brazilian soap operas later), but lately everywhere, and to the west and the east, everyone is looking "show" when a single extended plot (storyline, as there called) or not at all, or it well, very slow. Who's watching - he himself knows, this is for those who not looking explanation.
So, I'm a very long time no show did not look. It is understandable - there was no time, all the time outside of school and work, I was playing on the computer. But when stopped play (one and a half years ago), I began to look a little bit of these shows. It started with a quite reasonable request of his wife, that we do something together entertaining (as we had played together in, say, World of Warcraft). At the moment we somehow watched three: Doctor Who, House MD, and Big Bang Theory.
But is not the point. The fact is that every from the show I had a same curious shift in perception. At some point I discovered that I watch these shows as a series, that is, as if it were serial films. In other words, as if in front of me was the beginning of a story that is unfolding before my eyes, and has, as any normal history, the beginning and end of isolation. In "House," for example, I was waiting for love Do House Dr. Cameron, in "Big Bang" - Have a great love for Penny and Leonard. That is, as happens in fairy tales - "... and they were married, and I've been there, honey, beer drinking, his mustache dripping, and the mouth is not horrible." Lived happily ever after and died in one day. In other words, I believe in the story, sympathetic characters, and I was certainly interesting, but what they all ended. But the show is something not end there - for the first season is second, for the second - third, and so on and so forth. Not that I did not know it - knew from watching "House", which is already the seventh, and signed a contract for one or two. But somehow I had not pondered. Noticed that after watching the third season of "House" was somehow not very interesting, and then the same thing happened with the "Big Bang", as before with "Doctor Who". It was only during the fourth season of "Big Bang" until I suddenly realized - as well as there is no spoon! I also deceived, that is, I was deceived! There is no Leonard and Penny, in which all will be, or nothing will happen. Here's the hobbit Frodo is, and even Harry Potter is, because what's the real story, which began and ended when the author finished the story . But Dr. Gregory Hausa no. I find it hard to explain what difference I mean - but suddenly it became clear that Leonard and Penny will be hanging in limbo exactly the seasons and episodes, many of the show will last in some there, "Top" or longer, or earlier. And then they just collapsed, but it would no longer be as important as it will end, because it is not history, it is cheating workers some!
That's the "House" - at first I really liked it, but as soon as he broke up his team at the end of the third season, I realized - opa, yes it is cheating! Now I am a season will show how he is gaining a new team, then another two seasons of them will suck out all the entertaining potential ... and, again, so be it continue until the show hangs in the top.
And then I thought - and yet this paradigm, when the show (call them stories, I can not) just playing until the game, and there, while watching it, and because of what it looks - it's a very right for the new, post-Christian world. There is no "history" because There is no meaning in life. There is no end, because there is no beginning. Just as some atoms are grouped together, and one can extract pleasure. This same story always ends in death - a hero dies in the end, either immediately after the end ("lived happily ever after and died in one day"). The Christian world, ie history told by the Bible ends with the Last Judgement, and Eternity, we do not know how the story will end, but she has already completed, because the author, outside of time, "Already" knows the end, though actors are not finished yet to make their free choice. But the main thing - it's all true stories, which care , look we do or do not watch. You may like or dislike "The Lord of the Rings," but the end product of the will of its author, and it ended as every life ends.
udate: Or, if very briefly: Imagine that you're talking to some person, and he has a good sense of humor, and the conversation seems to be interesting ... but suddenly you are at some point realize that conversation leads nowhere . Your companion does not want anything you say. He just wants to talk , and you listen. It was listened to, and not heard , because there is no telling which one would have to pass and, therefore, to hear. Endless smalltalk. And when people aware that this is happening to him - here he is faced with a choice to stop this "conversation", or forget about his discovery, and just have fun from the conversation.
Perhaps, in a sense, this selection - the quintessence of the issue of religious faith.
