"Dear, It's so basic, self-love; the all-natural opiate.
You know, it's not that you didn't care for Anyone, Dear.
It's just that you were a little bit more involved with someone else:
yourself."
-Al Pacino as Satan (call him Dad); The Devils Advocate (1997)
---------------------
Amazing how this film got a good grasp with how people think.
It's not that the age of social media brought forth this level of vanity. It just gave the people a more accessible platform for them to show how much they love themselves.
---------------------
Another one:
"You sharpen the human appetite to the point where it can split atoms with its desire; you build egos the size of cathedrals;
fiber-optically connect the world to every eager impulse; grease even the dullest dreams with these dollar-green, gold-plated fantasies,
until every human becomes an aspiring emperor, becomes his own God... and where can you go from there?
As we're scrambling from one deal to the next, who's got his eye on the planet? As the air thickens, the water sours, even bees' honey takes on the metallic taste of radioactivity...
and it just keeps coming, faster and faster.
There's no chance to think, to prepare; it's buy futures, sell futures... when there is no future.
We got a runaway train, boy.
We got a billion Dear Sirs all jogging into the future.
Every one of them is getting ready to fistfuck God's ex-planet, lick their fingers clean, as they reach out toward their pristine, cybernetic keyboards to tote up their fucking billable hours.
And then it hits home.
You got to pay your own way.
It's a little late in the game to buy out now!
Your belly's too full, your dick is sore, your eyes are bloodshot, and you're screaming for someone to help!
But guess what?
There's no one there!
You're all alone, Sir."
---------------------
Do you think this is a good reflection on our society? or is this just a hogwash film quote?
Your thoughts are much appreciated and welcome as this is the Lounge, and I am the Lounge Member Josh Saga.
