It is the pure-ness of expression that always inspires me. Watching the reaction of the actors from Slum Dog Millionaire on the academy awards show was an example of what I mean by pure-ness. The lead actor and actress were not nominated for their parts in the movie but were clear cheerleaders when others involved in the creation of the movie received reward after reward. When the camera tuned on them they did not act demure and calculated as if in hopes for future gain from the moment. Instead they showed honest joy in the success of the others around them in their project.
I find this inspiring.
Maybe it is the lack of politics in their response.
Maybe it is the lack of posturing (a calculated smile instead of an unbridled hoot)
Maybe it was the embrace of THAT MOMENT without thought to the future ramification.
I am not sure.
But when we are far enough down the road in our creative journeys... do we become too jaded and calculating that we forget what it is to be genuine?
Just a question.
On a totally different note...less genuine and more political I am sure... Alicia Keys on stage with that guy from High School Musical? What's up with that?
