Even the rain

======================

I have recently been watching a lot of foreign movies. There

is something about these movies that essentially

cuts through the glamor and facade that Hollywood movies

encompass, and has a purpose for making the movie.

One of these is a Spanish movie “Even the Rain” (Tambien

La Lluvia). This movie is about a director making a movie

about Christopher Columbus and his arrival to the

“New World.” For those of you who have only been

introduced to Christopher Columbus that most

schools romanticize may not be aware at the exploitation

and massacre of the natives at his hands.

This movie was a paradox because as the movie is

being filmed about the past it parallels an issue with

what is currently going on with the locals and that is the

modern exploitation of the people of the country by other

players such as corporations, the government, etc.

I am not here to give a film review (although I do recommend

this particular movie), but while watching this I realized

something that is always there, and as I am getting older

I am becoming more wise to it.

In every generation the problems are typically the same. Whether

it be oppression, strong versus the weak, rich versus poor, all

of these opposites are in one way or another at war or at struggle

with each other. With this movie, they are filming about an

even that happened more than a century ago, but yet in modern

day similar exploitations are going on.

What this made me realize is although at times we feel like

our actions are not going to help the inevitable struggle against

evil or our actions will be small compared to the big players whether

it be those in power, the government, the majority, we still have to

act and work toward good.

If every generation has gone through something very similar, it

is not a coincidence. God is just watching to see what we do

with the time we are given just as those before us were tried

and just as those after us are tried. We may have modern

technology and advancements, but the problems are still

the same when we get to the core.

Do what good you can to triumph over the evil and bad

with the time you are given because although it will repeat

with the next generation, you won’t have no more extra time

than the time you are given.
