Some fun videos of Asia; to include China, Thailand, Vietnam, and Japan. (Part 9)

Now about the image in the post splash above. This is a scene from the most excellent movie “Unbreakable”. I really love this movie because it is about a man who needs to find his purpose in life. It turns out that he must be the super hero.

 Elijah Price: Why is it, do you think, that of all the professions in the world you chose protection?
 
 David Dunn: You are a very strange man. 

 Elijah Price: You could have been a tax accountant. You could have owned your own gym.  You could have opened a chain of restaurants. You could've done of ten  thousand things, but in the end, you chose to protect people. *You* made  that decision, and I find that very, very interesting.      
Unbreakable movie
With regards to the story, Mr. Shyamalan and his crew have constructed something so rich in visual texture while managing to keep the story subdued and character development full of deep-seated anticipation. Every plot point came perfectly without any extra connotations that usually creep into a story such as this (super heroes?). Without any melodrama both Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson give very authentic performances that help the film keep its “Any Town USA” and “Average Joe Six-pack” feel very much alive.

This is a brilliant movie, and it asks many of the very same questions that many men ask themselves when they hit their middle to late 30’s. You can call it the “male menopause” or something else, but what it is rather a reflection of life’s purpose.

 Joseph Dunn: I thought maybe because you're my dad... I thought I might be like you... I'm not like you... 

 David Dunn: You are like me. We can both get hurt. I'm just an ordinary man. 

 Joseph Dunn: No, you're not... Why do you keep saying that?      

No man is ordinary.

Moving on…

Hey! Look what I found in my e-mail today!

Ah. It’s not going away. I received this e-mail on 5AUG19.

Yup! It’s a social justice warrior that is so proud of her censorship efforts. She censors art. She makes the determination of what is good or bad art by way of political ideology. Imagine that.

Read her email to me…

SJW censorship

I am so very sure that Idi Amin, Heir Hitler, Joseph Stalin and Chairman Mao would be so proud of her censorship. But then again, this “virtue signalling” isn’t likely to do much aside from landing her a job in a liberal institution where, of course, she would have to endure the casting couch job interview. It’s the Marxist technique. (Just being historical, ya all.)

Of course, I am revolted by this.

Typical Marxist behavior.
Nazi book and art burning. They believed that you needed to purify thought and only have ideologically pure art and literature. Just like all Marxists.

So she judges art.

yes.

She JUDGES art.

Not good enough
It’s difficult to be an artist in the new progressive reality where the Marxist’s all control the levels of power, and the gateways for success. This is a work by conservative Dan F. Gerhartz. Not a progressive darling. Unfortunately his works will fade into obscurity while nonsensical works like oil stained Christian statues will be given priority in modern progressive metropolitan areas.

That is her profession and that is what she studies. However, she does not understand art. Instead she understands Marxist ideology. Nothing else.

In her mind, you are either a sunny and happy progressive, or you are a cockroach that needs to be exterminated. Don’t believe me? Reread her email above.

In her mind, you are either a good little communist, or you are nothing. You become vermin that must be eradicated from the planet.

These people are dangerous.

Rufus the good Samaritan

This little video takes place in China.

I named the fellow here Rufus. Why? Because that was the name of the man that helped Jesus carry the cross up the side of the mountain. Rufus.

Rufus. red, the son of Simon the Cyrenian ( Mark 15:21), whom the Roman  soldiers compelled to carry the cross on which our Lord was  crucified. Probably it is the same person who is again mentioned in  Romans 16:13 as a disciple at Rome, whose mother also was a Christian  held in esteem by the apostle. Mark mentions him along with his brother  Alexander as persons well known to his readers.

-Bible Dictionary

Of course, in today’s hyper politically correct internet, you won’t find any of this information if you look up the name of Rufus. Instead you will find something like this…

The meaning of the word Rufus as found on the Internet.
The meaning of the word Rufus as found on the Internet.

Detailed, supposedly factual, but devoid of useful content. Rufus is the name of the man that helped Jesus carry the cross. The English forms that were present in 1909 has exactly zero relevance in 2019.

You need to know and understand just how serious the rewriting of history is being colored by the tyranny of California software mega-corporations.

Here, let’s watch a micro-video about another Rufus in China. You go man. Rufus, you are my hero.

Cool Flooring

In China, the technology is mature that permits large scale moving videos of anything placed anywhere. You can see it on the sides of buildings, on ceilings, on walls and on the floors. Here’s a really great application of one such LED display showing moving waves and beach sand on a KTV or restaurant floor.

Now, something terribly sad…

This happened in Shenzhen. It shocks me to my core.

Map of Shenzhen, and Hong Kong.
Here is the map of Shenzhen and Hong Kong. Shenzhen has 14 million citizens, and Hong Kong only has 8 million people. To put that into perspective, New York city has 6 million people. There is a constant flow of people in and out of HK though SZ. As many people who live and work in Hong Kong, actually have homes and residences inside Shenzhen.

A mother is walking her son home through a market. High above them, in one of the skyscrapers, a window pops out of the wall, and falls at least 20 floors below. That’s a long… long… long… fall.

Crash!

One minute you are alive. The next minute you are dead.

One minute you are alive.

The next minute you are dead.

Do not take your life for granted. Enjoy every minute as if it is a full treasure. Cherish it. Enjoy it. Savor everything about your life.

Savor your life.
Do not take your life for granted. Enjoy every minute as if it is a full treasure. Cherish it. Enjoy it. Savor everything about your life.

Savor everything about your life.

Please don’t take things, and people for granted. They are special. When your dog wants to kiss you on the lips, give him a big hug and rub his tummy. When your kitty wants you to pick him up… come on do so. What’s the problem?

They just want some loving…from YOU.

Viking Kitty.
Viking kitty just wants to spend some time with you. What are you going to do? Watch CNN instead? Mow the lawn instead? Nah. People and creatures are important. They enrich our life. Treasure them.

Live life well…

Live. It. Well.

Well.

Life is too short not to enjoy some fine BBQ.
Life is too short not to enjoy some fine BBQ. Enjoy it with some friends. And don’t forget the icy cold beer to share with it. Life is far too short not to spend it with friends and loved ones.

Live life well. Live it like it is your last.

Live it like it will be your last.

Treasure the time now.

Smile at those loved ones around you.

Life is short. Live it well.
Life is short. Live it well.

Life is short. Often too short. Please, live it well.

Public Transport – Japan

Yeah. I guess the monorail is popular in Japan.

It seemed to me that I once saw a Simpson’s episode regarding the monorail. It depicted it as some kind of scam that investors used to fleece the tax-paying public with.

His evil plan.
His evil plan.
"Marge vs. the Monorail" is the twelfth episode in the fourth season of the American animated television series The Simpsons.  It originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on January  14, 1993. The plot revolves around Springfield's impulse purchase of a  faulty monorail from a conman. The episode was written by Conan O'Brien and directed by Rich Moore. 

-Wikipedia

Anyways, in Japan they use monorails quite readily.

Pretty good rule of thumb: the best episodes usually show a flagrant  contempt for the town's citizens (a lot like South Park). In this case,  the use of a $3 million windfall a mass transit boondoggle rather than  much-needed street repairs. On the other hand, don't you wish town halls  can be settled so easily with Phil Hartman and a big musical number?  The jokes are hopelessly cynical (read: hysterical) and even Leonard  Nimoy gets in on the fun. The whole thing's a treat. 

Box Recognition Technology

Ah. I think it’s cool. I like this. I do not think that it is being used in the USA today though it is pretty commonly used all over China. I guess that the USA has some catching up to do.

I have many more videos, but I just cannot put them into a single post. It will bog down your computer terribly. So to watch the rest of the videos in this post, please continue…

What is China like?

The purpose of this post is to illustrate that the rest of the world, outside of America, has moved on with their lives. That while they might not be as great as America is, they are doing just fine thank you.

And while America has been squandering it’s money, decimating it’s resources, and just being cavalier with it’s military, the rest of the world has done the opposite. They have husbanded their day to day fortunes, and you can see this in their day-to-day lives.
