Scandinavian Tyrannosaur


So ... Loved the movie. Never seen anything like it. Problem is ... I'm sort of the main character myself. Sure, 20-something years younger, living in Scandinavia. But I'm writing this as a sort of ... I dunno really. Help? I gave up on my life long time ago.

Just this night ... I cut my own throat ... Again .. I don't feel pain in a physical manner, as much as I do on the inside. Nor do I fear death, and not in a bragging-sort-of-way ... I'm just ... "Robert De Niro", you know ...

Tyrannosaur really got to me. It was ME, besides some actions (like the dog-kicking, rejecting compassion etc). But not since Taxi Driver, I've felt so connected with a story/character. Regardless of what happens to me, I want the makers to know, this thing is a *beep* masterpiece, and I doubt it could be created by someone who hasn't gone a similar path as the main character, or me.

Anyways. I'd like someone to pray for me ...

What are you doing that to yourself for?

reply

I think I damage myself so I don't do it to others. I have to let it out. And to let it out on others just isn't on the map. I'm talking anger/hate/sorrow/ 24seven. In solitude. That sh*t has to come out in some way.

Sök hjälp. Nu!

Tack, att jag inte tänkt på det innan.

Does that mean "seek help now"? If so I agree...

reply

Really? It's THAT simple in your world?

I sought help. Afain and again. Decade after decade. Got a kick in the face. Again and again. The latest came this morning, in fact.

I know you mean well, but, juts shut up if that's all you got. The lady in the store knew it wasan't that easy. Sure, she didn't knew the answer, but she didn't point Joseph in a direction with shoes she never worn herself. That was one of many things so great about the movie. It was a slice of how the real world works, or rather, don't work.

"Seek help" ...

reply

No one said it was easy or simple. All an anonymous stranger on the Internet can do is express the fact that they give a toss about another human being's suffering. Sorry.

reply

Then write THAT instead. "Seek help" implies that a) there IS help to get and b) I haven't tried to get it.

Sorry, I know I'm rude. But you'd understand it all if you'd see what I've seen. I wish very few people to go through it.

How did you think Joseph would respond to you if you met him and said that? No, really, think about it.

reply

I think it would be different if I met Joseph as there's a lot more you can express/ways you can try and assist if it's in person. I imagine so anyway.

Regardless, there was no offense meant. I really hope you find peace.

reply

I know neither of you meant anything mean by it, at all. You did nothing wrong. But perhaps you got something out of it, talking with a real Joseph. Anyways, I'll admit I was rude.

And maybe I'm a hypocrite, but I think you should think twice before trying to aid a Joseph if you should encounter him in real life, face-to-face. He was WAY out of line to Olivia's character when blaming her when he thought she was rich, a snob etc.

I'm not sure he could be dangerous to good people in a physical way. That dog-thing was NOT cool. But his physical actions often originated from troubles started by other. He never asked for trouble, trouble came in his way. And he had to deal with it. As it is for every one of us. But some has more bad luck than others, less benefits, a more dark past ...

I could almost feel how tired Joseph was of being a magnet for trouble, like the pool-fight. A situation I think many would put the blame on Joseph, but I would not only have done the same thing as he did, but I also would feel that it was the right thing to do.
