Last week, while switching through my 1,289 channels, I stumbled upon a flick I had not watched in geezer hoods (a coon’s age for my fellow Texans): “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.” And although few could never debate that this particular motion picture personified a reverberant piece of cinema, it sure enough does a bang up job of being 109-minutes of cockamamie haphazardness. For what it misses in character ontogenesis and plot, the film highlights an innovation that I genuinely, sincerely wish I had in my employ: a point of view gun.
It works like this:
Pick a dupe
Aim artillery at dupe
Shoot victim
Dupe abruptly and miraculously takes in things from your point of view --whether victim would like to, or not
Can you guess how herculean the possession of something like that could be? A point of view gun could cease world-wide warfare, invigorate folks to feed the empty-bellied or bring people of divergent religions, political views or schools of thought in concert with one another. The potential for the benevolence one could arrange whilst employing such a creation is infinite. All the same, so is the potential for wickedness. I gauge that is how come this device isn't high on Stephen Hawking's "to do" list.
Nonetheless, in the spirit of trying to keep up with this rad innovation, I am doing my level best to make believe that I was shot by another person’s point of view gun all week this week. Every day, I am investing myself in a new, unfamiliar scenario and making sure I stay broad-minded to somebody else's point of view. As yet, my experimentation has proved invigorating, eye opening and worthwhile. On the other hand, it's only Tuesday.
