Films are nothing more than a modern way of telling stories. The vast majority of films considered excellent (with the exception of science fiction films that obviously depend on some special effect) were without a lot of computational resources, or none at all.
As an example, the star destroiers, the corellian corvette, from f [first Star Wars film: made in model (imagine the hassle!)
These well-analyzed modern tales depend on the actors, actresses, plot atmosphere and setting.
Avatar that says it: no real scenery, just chromakey, green background. However, in addition to computing, the attitude of the actors and actresses, their adaptation to technology but, above all, their convincing performances: both for them even if they had to imagine where they were, as well as for the spectators. Hard work!
The structure of the cinema is nothing more than the evolution of the old operas - and before them of the Greek tragedies staged in the Greek amphitheaters, before the birth of Christ. Only what has changed is that, while a tragedy, an opera, a face-to-face play, needs the linearity of the story for its production and understanding, cinema can set up scenes without the linear coherence of a play and then, the editors, the director and the continuists, seated - today, at the computers - in front of the film roles, literally, with scissors, cut and paste to assemble the linearity of the story.
Therefore, "cut and paste", in the audiovisual, is as old as the newspaper itself.
Most tales between the 19th and early 20th centuries, from Grimm to Dumas, from Verne to Wells, were more brutal than they appear on the screen: they were softened, many after the second war, which had claimed many, many lives . But their stories were neither simple nor entirely happy.
In the film "The others", from 2001, (I promise I won't spoil it for those who didn't watch it!) There is a family, with a rare disease, in a sinister house, under which the windows could not be opened and whose the mistress of the house was waiting for her husband to return from the second war. This lady was bothered by noises, creaks, people appearing and disappearing.
The plot shows the question of spiritist dogmas (so torturously exploited in the cinema), dogmas of private invasion, dogmas ... dogmas ... dogmas .... in the name of protecting children, protecting the home, protecting the family and for the sanity of the head of the house.
I strongly suggest to watch, it is with Nicole Kidman, who besides being beautiful is very competent in this film.
For those who have already watched, I ask you to check the similarities with the behavior of the world, the financial market and the value of bitcoin. For those who didn't watch it, wait until the end of the movie to conclude... otherwise you'll lose the magic of this movie, that spoiling is almost a crime!
In general, in the last two weeks there has been a lot of crying and gnashing of teeth - to paraphrase Christian bibia - in the values of crypto-currency: "melted" gains, general drop in crypots, capital flight for shares, about dollar valuation and the euro, despite its indexations with oil.
Not by chance, the doubt that hovered over crypto-currencies in general, and bitcoin in particular, is similar to Nicole Kidman's movie.
The others caused teeth to gnash, the others panicked the children, the others destabilized values, the Erlon Musk is too small to cause all that.
But in addition to the others, just as in the eponymous film, the others deal with themselves, their own dogmas, their own beliefs.
Some questions:
- did most people really, naively, think that traditional financial market rules wouldn't apply to bitcoin? the ascent graphs, in w, already showed that one hour the roller coaster would make the cart descend - and strongly.
- do most "analysts" not know the law of causality (which governs everything, including the real universe and crypto-currencies)? Alignment of balance, of cause and deed, which determines that nothing rises forever? that a strong oscillation of gain will inevitably, temporally, generate a strong oscillation of recomposition?
Bitcoin is pointed out, for the purpose of currency mechanisms, as being the "dollar" of crypto-currencies: bitcoin would be the currency for the conversion of currencies.
The problem is that "the others" observed that bitcoin, of course, could threaten the real dollar with conversion ballast (note, among crypto-currencies, all convert values into bitcoin to reconvert. And that is why they all fell during these last two weeks!)
And the question remains: is the problem in others? Or who thought that bitcoin would never suffer a strong devaluation? The unclear dynamics of monetary support of crypto-currencies leads to this doubt and this vulnerability: the escape of financial volumes for more solid investments, read at this moment: shares of physical companies, commodities, currencies backed by central banks physical and visible.
Watch "the others" and draw your conclusions. The surprise at the end of the film is exactly the same as what happened in those two weeks.
But just as, unlike some who think that the rules of the traditional financial market are not valid for cryptos, fluctuations are part of any paired monetary value. Whoever had money and "lost" or broke up and bought other things - which caused the fall to settle - or held on to despair (understanding the moment) and is seeing bitcoin's recovery.
Bitcoin is not just another crypto-currency, it is simply the heart of the entire digital market. That is, if "others" are terrifying, it is worth remembering that many other "others" have real things already linked to bitcoin. Which means that, unlike most other crypto-currencies and DefIs, there is real-world bitcoin ballast. This makes people defend this trans-national digital currency that is directly accessible to investors.
What position are you, reader, in? Because it's not just about reallocating resources or numbers magically on the screen. As at the beginning of this article, the acting value of actors and actresses and how to use scissors, has more to do with financial moments than computational magic or how algorithms can protect you.
Anyway, are you part of "the others"? How the moral lesson to bitcoin suspens film?
See the trailer!!!
