Patterns and methods for their destruction

    We all live in a world based on some repeating patterns and phenomena. In the middle lane, where many of us live, summer replaces spring, autumn comes in summer, etc. But if you fly to where it is always cold or always hot, we will find ourselves in an unusual environment. Nature itself gives such an opportunity, unconventionality. And then, it happens, what cataclysm will strike or surprise with the weather. Either snow will fall in Africa, it will flood Europe, then another hurricane will erase human buildings from the face of the Earth.

    These are all the tricks.

    For the human soul (forgive me for going back to theology and esotericism) there is nothing worse than living your precious time in a stereotyped and uncreative way. On Monday, at work, on Saturday at the cottage, December 31 - "Blue Light", March 8 - a rose ...

    I see that on Habré there are a lot of people who, realizing this, at one time decided to live differently from how most people live. Live in pleasure, doing what you love. To create, to rejoice, to do something unusual and unexpected, to allow yourself stupidity and not think about what someone will say: “Some kind of fool. I would live like us, and not twitch. Life will put you in your place, see. ”

    Being crazy is not so bad. At one time, when the desire to break out of the cycle of everyday life was growing in me, I occasionally allowed myself something that can be considered not typical for an adult. No, don’t think anything like that! In secret: I simply allowed myself to smile on the street if I wanted to smile. Shhhh. Only to anyone! And when they started telling me that I was kind of weird, I realized that I was moving in the right direction.

    Rave! But many people are so stuck in the belief that what is right and what is wrong, that a person smiling on the street is almost perceived as a psychopath (I'm not saying that this person can still jump on one leg from happiness. Then, exactly 03 will call )

    They said that I was crazy, and I replied that they were crazy, but damn them, there were more, and they won. Nathaniel Lee, an English damaturge whom friends placed in a mental house.

    Creative people suffer very much from imposed, and sometimes self-created patterns. I recall the programs watched on TV (that’s where the main template engine, like all the media in principle) is about famous actors, TV presenters. One actor - one role. Sometimes it happens that a certain stereotype is attached to the actor after the shoot, after which he is offered the same type of role: a scoundrel, a hero-lover, a comedian ... But a real actor cannot play only one type. This is not development, there is no way out of emotions, there is no realization of talent, there are no colors and tones! That was Louis de Phineas, who, by the way, played great jazz music - everyone laughed at his comedic roles, the current French comedies have given a good hand in comparison with the comedies of those times, and yet he was a very unhappy person in life. How does it feel to go on stage and play a fun character? Many clowns in life are gloomy and unfriendly people ... If you have actors in the circle of friends, if you watch them on TV, then you probably heard how difficult it is to break the mass prejudice that you are capable of playing other roles.

    Recently showed a program about Leonid Yakubovich. The host of the Field of Miracles tried to break out of the captivity of his template, tried to create serious programs, but he was not allowed to do this, the people simply did not perceive him as a serious host. Here's a spin the drum, try on a turban, guess the words - yes, that's it, but to lead the analyst, raise national problems - does not fit somehow. Although Leonid really wanted to make his transfer ... But I would not be upset in his place, since there is always a way out. a little further consider the options.

    The same Andrei Malakhov and "Let them talk." I am sure he was sick of the hell out of this show, these constant squabbles and screams in the studio, situations of the same type, talk about nothing, but he was so attached to this environment that he became synonymous with the show. Visiting his program recently was Alan Pizz, a specialist in gestures and facial expressions. As illustrative examples, he was invited to comment on the gestures of some public people in the video, including Andrei himself on the recordings of programs. Alan clearly identified Malakhov’s behavior in the studio when communicating with the participants in the program, signs that spoke of unimaginable melancholy and boredom.

    And famous people have problems, and we have such problems. I remember my youthful years. School, lyceum, university ... The change of scenery, the transition from one social group to another was characterized by a sharp change in my model of behavior. Sharp - does not mean cardinal. It is more about comparison with how hard it was for me to change something in my model of behavior within the framework of the formed circle of communication, and the easy and painless transformation of behavior when moving from one environment to another, where you are not known. Do you understand what I'm talking about. It is very difficult to change within the framework of an environment where certain behaviors are already expected from you. Does the "smart girl and the excellent student" want to do something like this ... yell with a good mat, climb a tree, crow. Surely! But he can't he’s “smart and excellent” and upset the teacher and mother with such behavior. A bad guy (my type)? He also longs for love and respect. But everyone expects nasty things from him. And, believe me, I have them. He provides these nasties to the fullest. That's how we live.

    What to do and who is to blame? To the second question, I would answer this way: no one is to blame. This is our world, we shape it ourselves, according to our understanding. This is an objective reality. But always, each specific person can create his own place in this world on his own. You just need a little awareness to understand why everything works this way and not otherwise.

    For example, what I would recommend to Leonid Yakubovich before starting my serious program (it seems that several issues have come out). The mistake was that he tried to change the image without the appropriate preparation of his audience. Everyone is accustomed to seeing a blankhead, always cheerful, playful, pliable, humorous. And suddenly he was gone. Remember the cartoon in which a bug was asked for a moose by the horns, then a spider, then a frog or someone else. Over time, taking advantage of the kindness of an elk, the whole forest people, including a bear, were registered there :), and they began to dictate their conditions, where to go, what to do. Until the moose in the fall did not drop the horns. And then, the poor fellow, having dumped all this load, sadly answered the stunned inhabitants of the horns: “But still, it somehow awkwardly happened ...” So in life. The people said indignantly: “Where ?!” And Lenya was returned to his place. And what had to be done was: launch Leonid’s video in an image that would shock the audience, split the shell of his “miracles”, stun and stun the target viewer. If necessary, there can be several such videos, all in different images, you can duplicate in the media, because Leonid was printed in a newspaper in a camouflage somewhere in the Caucasus region, but this was one article and she didn’t have such a goal, so pass by.

    I was asked to soap on a theme of Santa Claus, add to the image of thrashing for the cartoon. There will be an order, there will be ideas. No problems. As an example, and for the author of the letter, the plot: Santa Claus rides on a sleigh, on his reindeer along the road. Behind the bag with gifts. A bus full of children is catching him. Children rejoice, squeak, wave grandfather handles, waiting for gifts. Santa Claus shows a “fuck”, spurs his deer and leaves. Children in tears.

    In fact, we are talking about the fact that the familiar stereotype breaks down, collapses. Shocking. This image may be unpleasant to someone, but it is the reaction, the unexpectedness that helps to achieve the goal. This is like an advertisement for Benetton, as the plot of the cartoon South Park, etc.

    PS. Break stereotypes, allow yourself pranks, do not accustom others to your image.

    Good luck
