Film Transcript
What is it? Among all of humanity's fallacies, wonders, discoveries, theories, superstitions, we cease to understand this world. It's so foreign to us, but is the basis of everything we know. So much, but we know so little. The more we uncover, the more we learn how little we know. It's so weird to think something that's around us — the entity of everyone and everything, the foundation of all thought and comprehension — is the most unknown thing to us.
Sure, we name, characterize, assort, arrange, extract and give meaning to the things around us, but at the end it's meaningless; its value is only sustained by the beliefs we carry. Its meaning is only constructed by the confines of our mind. The world we see is nothing but an assortment of ideas and thoughts strung together by the curious and devoted thinkers of our kind attempting to unravel the ambiguities of our existence in hope to distinguish a fundamental initiative. But no matter the extent of our ventures among the exponential realms of existence, we're still clueless.
The world that has nourished all elements of life, that has unified and cultivated all we know, leaves us as perplexed since the dawn of civilisation. The sentiment of life derives from mankind's primary senses: the ability to hear, to feel, smell, taste, see forms the very fabric of life as we know it. They're the only existential components we seem to inherit — preeminent features that transverse our understanding of this world. They are the founding of all thought, meaning, conversion and everyday existence, crucial outlets to help us perceive life and to attain existence for ourselves. Life is a requisite proposition. We're just alive without any obligation or reason; we're just here, but the magnitude of this world's beauty stems from one's view of their existence.
I feel it — the ocean breeze brushing my skin with its gentle touch, to hear the sound of the waves; it's always been so soothing to me. Nothing seems to change it, a frozen solitude of time. I kind of think of it in a strange sort of way. I've always wondered, though — well, I guess I've always dreamed of, I suppose — what colour is the ocean?
