Classic movies are one of my inspirations when I'm working on my story game. What I have found is, modern people are probably too sophisticated. And I love two fools. One is Forrest Gump. Another is Mr. Smith ("Mr. Smith goes to Washington", 1939). They both have that kind of ‘’wisdom of fool’’.
Jefferson
I want to make that come to life---
Yes, and lighted up like that, too ---
for every boy in the land. Boys forget
for every boy in the land. Boys forget
what their country means – just reading
“land of the free” in history books.
And they get to be men – and forget
even more. Liberty is too precious
to get buried in books, Miss Saunders.
Men ought to hold it up in front of
them – every day of their lives and
say: “I am free – to think – to speak.
My ancestors couldn’t. I can. My
children will. “
