School of Rock, Good Will Hunting and Frequency

[Doer Ahn]

Watching School of Rock, Good Will Hunting and Frequency three different days in a row, I found them all contains the real lead to life fulfillment. Obviously it’s hard to find out what fulfills one in a sustainable manner and whatnots. But simply being based on what I felt from these masterpieces, I can argue that the secret key to fulfillment always stays in us as far as we get truly focused on our own inner voice. Our true heart is dramatically about what we have to be after in life and what seriously matters for the quality of our lives.

In School of Rock, one’s passion was shrewdly focused on Rock. He was up to that in a say ‘Rock the World Mania.’ All it mattered for him was Rock, not a Rule! Even after his team mates turned the back on him, he still started by looking for other mates who could play with him with enthusiastic passion. With that in mind, he exploited an opportunity wherein no other professionals than himself could find, elementary school. With elementary kids, he skyrocketed over tipping point and achieved a high potential winning a mass applaude in a competition. The combination of his passion and the kids true inner voices made a change. And the changed mattered a lot. 

What about Good Will Hunting? This touching piece of film is also about passion, but in a slightly different way from the one shown in School of Rock. Main guy in here, had suffered from an abuse in his young life, so he neither feels so confident in his skillful passion nor humane passion. He timidly understands what it matters to him and what grasps his interest. Skillfully, it is a math. Humanly, it is an attachment. He, however, doesn’t want to leverage it to be an effective man from other people’s point of view because he’s afraid, afraid of human breaks. Nevertheless, driven by his sleeping intuition, he decides to be a 'janitor in MIT' while boasting his work as a 'JANITOR in mit' is also about holy chores to make money and keep everyday relationship with old friends. But his luck comes from that point-his decision to work in MIT. One professor kicked off an empty can and it weaved a historical math solutions. In the course of his math-surfing days, he met a woman from Harvard and his ever slept emotion of love starts to spur his real existence as one man. As a man of potentially history changing genius, he knew he could freak the world using his talents. However, how counterintuitive it is when it comes to real life, he chooses LOVE instead of the super hero career. Passion for love meant more to him than anything else. And he followed it. And I believe it will pay him off with emotional fulfillment.

And last one. Most fundamental drive of fulfillment as an anthropological human being comes from a movie, Frequency. It talks about an attachment and love within family members. We can see what this strong relationsip can make a difference. They share the virtue of responsibility to each other and everyday discipline of warm care. They just do that since the course of those activities, they believe, is true happiness for both individuals and the family society. Passionate love in family was not demonstrated from previous two pieces, but it should be articulated true as in here, unbearably so. This team of frequency family, in a different time dimension, ends to save more than nine women's lives who might have killed by the serial murder incidents.

I believe pure passion for one’s craftsmanship–‘Rock’ in School of Rock- and love –‘Destiny’ in Good Will Hunting, ‘Family Love’ in Frequency-can lead us to fulfillment without any mistake. I also believe one’s own edged and seasoned craftsmanship will surely be a pragmatic drive for sustainably happy life. But what’s weird in ourlives is even though they always stay within us it’s hard to realize and act on that.

Why only to survive? Why not live a life? Life is once.
