kafka

After watching the film, Kafka, my perspective of metamorphosis didn’t really change at all. I thought it was an overall good movie but in the end didn’t affect me about the book. It did however make me think a little deeper into the story. I though about humanity how people are and how the story in my opinion wasn’t about Gregor necessarily. It was more about people’s fear of the unknown and the way people react to drastic changes within their lives, wether personal or in the world around them. When it comes to people, in general I think change is a very bad thing because if enough people think or react the same way then a lot of others will follow and it will be nothing but mass chaos except for the few people who have grip on what is actually happening. what do you think is the "moral of the story"?
I am assuming that the moral of the story is to look at everything a little deeper than what everything may seem so that one can understand in full what is or isn’t really happening. Also, it has to do with the love a family, your family and any other family that you may have wether it is a friend that might as well be family or a mother or father. Your connection with them is vital in life because if you don’t have a relationship with them then one can’t have a relationship at all, for they are the people that teach you about love and compassion, and without it you turn to anger and rage. Sometimes that anger and rage ultimately leads to ones suicide weather it be taking your own life or social suicide, which would be to become a hermit, (or a bug) so to speak. Humanity is the big picture that is seen in the book because everyone who knows or looks at Gregor is repulsed and wants nothing to do with him. This can be related to African Americans, or people of color if you will. Before the modern ages of factories and civil rights that is exactly how people of color were seen. They were seen as disgusting and revolting, not even worth the air that they were breathing, but in the end everyone finds out what life means and knows that everyone even a bug is a living creature who deserves everything that everyone else may have. In my personal opinion we are equal in everyway except for the looks. If we were all blind and couldn’t see, what do you think life would have been like? Or even if we only saw shapes and no colors or sizes? That is the question.
