神童

I just finished watching Shindo. Apart from gushing over Riko Narumi, this movie portrayed some of the vulnerabilities of being talented. We usually think that talented people have it easy. But when you know someone who is blessed with real talent, most of the time people refuse to acknowledge their talent and treat them like some weirdo.

That might or might not be true. It is merely based on my speculations that people are afriad of things that they do not understand. Does that really happen?

The few characters in Shindo represents a few elements in a person's life. There will always be the someone who motivates you and give you that little burst of energy to move forward. Then there is the one who relies on you for that motivation. And behind all of us, there is someone who supports us quietly, providing without ever asking questions.


I skipped school again. Partially because Music Appreciation lesson is simply too boring. And my PS got postponed to tomorrow at 2pm. I'm still thinking about the Schagerl trumpets, especially the C trumpet. To me, I still find the intonation hard to swallow. I guess I'll have to ask Smith tomorrow about the trumpets.
