Are older people certainly not able to afford a bit of madness and take on challenges? Of course they can, and even that would be advisable. Well, I'm talking about this topic because recently I saw a large group of elderly ladies and gentlemen (between 70 and 90 years old) on TV as they appeared in the "Got Talent" programme. They began to sing the song, what they created and they flurried everyone, the whole audience began to enjoy and smile. Their performance was really cool and with an idea. But most importantly, these people showed courage, desire and enthusiasm in spite of their age. However, I think about why many older people are closing in themselves and not being active too much. Not once I heard from people like that, why they have to do something more and that they are too old. Even from young people, I sometimes hear comments like: "What did these old people come here to do this in this age on stage?" Perhaps as the younger, we should open the door for the older ones more, so that they can feel more comfortable in more aspects of life? After all, age cannot limit us in achieving our goals.

  1. Wow, thanks for this! This tone is so different from the typical young people's complaints about old ladies pushing through on busses and forcing them to give up their seats.

  2. I agree with you, age cannot limit us in achieving our goals, it's really great when older people decide to realise their passions or dreams, for example travelling to foreign countries and running marathons. Few weeks ago I saw on TV the "Seniors's parade" and I could only smile when I heard these people talking about their active lives, passions and achieving their goals.

Does art have to be beautiful?

Art may or may not be beautiful. It may or may not be close to such feelings as suffering or love. In my opinion, art should have the right message and content from the author. To force observer's to think. Often in public opinion we hear that many works are "ugly" and "eccentric", and these works very often getting awards. In the eyes of critics of art or some people it looks completely different and they see the main message in the author's work and appreciate his creativity.

Some time ago at night I met a large group of wild boars, traveling along the road near my home. They looked rather frightened and upset, and this may have resulted from the lights flashed on each side and the noises of cars rang out. In spite of everything, the wild boars managed to cross the road safely, but in this confusion they strongly damaged the fence to cross to the other side of the forest. I watched the whole incident as an observer and it looked quite strange. Well, because a group of wild boars passing through the zebra crossing isn't an everyday sight. But I think that, in that situation when wild boars appeared on the road, all the drivers should stop and let boars to go to the other side, but in this case not everyone did the same and the animals suffered a big shock. Th ey could at least understand a little about the situation of these poor animals.

What do we learn about modern society in this film?

In the film, we certainly have evidence of what contemporary societies are disfigured and duplicitous. It focuses only on self-interest, not paying attention to others and sometimes even hurting them. In really many everyday situations, people pretend, who they really are, what they plan and what they think ... they also are ashamed to admit that they often escape from the problem they may encounter. In a certain form, we had such situations shown in the film.
