Quite an experience to live in fear, isn’t it?
That’s what it is to be a slave.

(Blade Runner, 1982)

And yet, so many people choose to live in fear. Because fear is comforting, it gives you imaginary boundaries where you can live quietly your life,  if you respect them and never doubt them. So you can be a slave by choice. Because being free it means being held responsible for your choices and for your action, for the better or the worse, in which case you have to pay the price. And THAT, that can be really discomforting, and frightening, for some people.

What did we do wrong? We did nothing wrong!
YES, WE DID.
We were supposed to fight for people who couldn’t fight for themselves.
We were supposed to fight for Willie.
(A Few Good Men, 1992)

PS: In un periodo come questo, in cui tra cinema e tv fioccano reboot e remake, ho deciso di ricominciare la rubrica Quote of The Week, e faro’ il possibile per mantenere l’appuntamento ALMENO settimanale. E quale modo migliore per ricominciare che citare uno dei miei idoli indiscussi, nonche’ quel  maestro di scrittura e sceneggiatura per il cinema e la tv che e’ Aaron Sorkin, a cui si devono gli script di “filmetti” come appunto Codice D’Onore, tratto dalla sua commedia teatrale omonima, The President – Una Storia D’amore fino ad arrivare ai recenti The Social Network, La guerra di Charlie Wilson e Steve Jobs, nonche’ di quella serie capolavoro che e’ The West Wing.
