"PADAK PADAK"
Drawing of Flatfish, in the ocean, camera angle low, waters dark behind him, looking up to the surface, tears escaping his eyes as his mouth stands slightly agape.
He's bent around in a turning posture, as if he's whipped around to look back up immediately after hitting the water.
*****
Watched "Padak" Horror/musical movie for the first time.
Best movie involving fish, exestential hopelessness, & empty redemption that I've ever seen.
Flatfish made it, at the end.
The others had died.
He made it, but how will he cope, now?
Sometimes the good guys don't win.
Sometimes Justice does not happen.
Sometimes the bad guys get what they wanted, and they became broken, too.
Sometimes everybody loses.
Sometimes it just doesn't seem to matter.
Sometimes you're just a fish in a tank.
Just a fish on a plate.
Just a fish in the sea.
But it's worth it, to try, I think.
There will be more fish in the sea.
More in the tank.
More on plates.
This movie fully encapsulated the feeling of "nothing matters, & life will keep on moving, with or without you" for me.
The excitement is the rush, of living while you can.
It makes risks seem pointless to listen to, sometimes.
Everyone will die, one day.
You, me, everybody.
At some point.
If it's decided you're already dead, why not try, anyway, then?
If every action is wrong, right, or pointless, why not just do -something-?
Something is better than nothing.
And sitting in nothingness will not make it go away.
So do -something-.
Even if it's meaningless.
Maybe eventually it will begin to mean something.
Try it.

I would 100% recommend this movie, if existentialism & psychologicsl horror is your thing.
*****
"Pointless curses, nonsense verses, you'll see purpose start to surface--
No one else is dealing with your demons, maybe meaning defeating them, can be the beginning of your meaning, friend."
