From the Words of Plato

In the movie Black Hawk Down, directed by Ridley Scott, there is a quote by Plato that I believe summarizes the movie. "Only the dead have seen the end of war.” What does that mean to you? To me it means life itself is a war, while every man in it is fighting for his place in life as those 123 elite soldiers did in Somalia. http://www.imdb.com/video/screenplay/vi1809188377/ 
They didn’t just represent the United States, they defended and fought for the innocent Somali while looking for the two missing lieutenants, and fighting off an evil warlord. The movie was beautiful with the intensity and motivation shown through the soldier’s actions; consequently, the movie was only a dramatization. For example, towards the end of the movie the soldiers had a ten mile walk back to their base, but the film didn’t show how long they had walked. On Monday my instructor set up a group chat so that the class could discuss parts of the movie, http://todaysmeet.com/BlackHawkDownMonday/transcript, it is a very helpful website/chat that gives good information about what the class took note of. 

Another reason why the quote is so significant to me is because in 2012 I lost someone very close to me, and the words said by Plato made me realize that in any situation whether you get up every day and go to work or school, or are fighting on the battlefield you are having to fight life like it’s a war. You can’t give up and if you do like my friend did, then the war is done. Keep fighting and keep that motivation to fight for you and to stay alive like those 123 soldiers did.

The Day After Tomorrow

If you have listened to the beautiful song, The Day After Tomorrow, by Tom Waits, then you somewhat know the music and the inspiration behind the lyrics. Even though it might not sound too clean with Wait's "gruffed voice", he’s comfortable with his work because, to him it has worth, durability and permanance(Tom Waits Biography). Besides his voice making a song he also can play the keyboard, percussion, and the guitar, which he uses in his famous song, "The Day After Tomorrow"(Tom Waits Biography).

In this song, who is Waits singing about? Is it a son, is he possibly singing of his own experience, or is it a general feeling for all those we wait for to come home? I believe it's about all who are waiting to return the day after tomorrow and their struggle of being in the war.
