The Wisdom of Solomon

“Focus is about Saying ‘No.’”

— Steve Jobs

“What he's trying to do is bring The Audience and Humanity into this situation. 

In this movie, he is trying to get through to us all... the human race in the movie theaters watching this... that we are doing these things but don't see it, that we are committing these horrendous things over and over again and then forgetting them... which is... of course, he represents many, many times in the movie... by having characters seem to know something and then not know it and forget it. 

Jack :

You, uh, chopped your wife 

and daughters up into little bits. 

Grady :

….I don't have any recollection 

of that at all. 

[ Thats because he hasn’t done it, yet. ]

That's like the human race. 

We commit atrocities 

and then forget it.”

“You Exterminated His Race —

What could you possibly 

say to him, that would 

make him feel better…?

That what conquering nations do —

That’s what Caesar did;

You don’t hear him moping around, saying -

‘I came, I saw,

I feel really bad about it.’

The History of The World is 

not people making friends —

You had better weapons,

and You massacred Them, 

End of Story.

It’s Kill or Be Killed, here -

Take yer bloody pick.”
