CUT TO.
(CONTD. VOICE OVER)
& This is Bombay where apparently every second lives change.
(Mumbai Montage)
CUT TO.
(CONTINUOUS VOICE OVER WITH MONTAGES OF THE THINGS HE IS SPEAKING ABOUT)
what is life?
oxygen? heartbeat?
is it the growth of cells in our body
is it the nature? the environment?
family? friends?
God?
What is the meaning of life? who are we?
Why are we here? Whats the purpose of our sense of being?
How does it work?
Are we real? Or is everything around just an illusion?
Colors, People, Vehicles
(THE OPENING SEQUENCE HAS TO BE VERY APPEALING VISUALLY)
WhatUp! Inc. presents
(CONTD. VOICE OVER)
I dont know what life is, how should we differentiate between good & bad? what l
ies ahead? whats above & whats beneath?
Im confused. (RANDOM CUTAWAYS OF THINGS SHOWING WHAT LIFE IS, SUPPOSE FOR GOOD W
E CAN SHOW AN OLD LADY SMILING,
FOR BAD WE CAN SHOW THE JOKER)
& This is my attempt to crack it up. (SLOW-MO SHOT OF A GLASS SHATTERING)
(FILM TITLE)
'EXPEDITION'
(SUB-TEXT)
(DICTIONARY MEANING OF LIFE)
I want to find the light. The light.
An average human uses only 7% of his/her brain at any given time
Does that mean, that all humans have the potential of becoming super-human
Or is it only by channelizing our ideas & focusing our energies onto a particula
r object or material that'll make us use our
brains to the fullest.
The brain is the most powerful element on earth.
It creates, preserves & destroys.
(CONTD. VOICE OVER)
IN TEXT - CHAPTER 1 - GOD:
Does this mean that Vishnu, Brahma & Shiv(Hindu Gods) are not really Gods, but j
ust phases or states of the human mind?
Is the entire concept of God just made up by the previous generations
Probably yeah, probably theyve just given names to the human state of Happiness
as God, confusion as Man & Negative as Devil.
So whatsup with religion?
Who wrote the Bible? Who wrote the Qur'an?
Are humans so blinded that they cant choose for themselves what they want to pra
ctise & preach?
Nobody knows, nobody will ever know
(CONTD. VOICE OVER)
IN TEXT - CHAPTER 2 - MIND:
Its all phycological.
How much ever hard you try, people will only believe in what they want to.
Thats how social groups & cultures are formed.
How we are subconsciously programmed by society and civilization, from the moment
we are born, to walk and talk a
certain way, think a certain way, and be a certain way (And when all the program
ming has been done, we are told
Be yourself! My expedition has mostly been attempts to break this programming or the
mental,
emotional, and moral conditioning that everyone has garnered in their minds over
the years, to the point of them becoming
unconsciously etched in and unquestionable.
(CONTD. VOICE OVER)
IN TEXT - CHAPTER 3 - HUMAN:
Most of these questions have no answers to them.
No one knows how it all began, Big Bang? Adam-Eve?
How were humans made? What are they made of?
Love, Hate, War, Peace, Anger, Ego.
They talk, walk, run, drive, dive.
Can swim upto limits to suffice themselves with material.
Girls become mothers, sacrifice their food for their kids.
Fathers are grown men? leaders? priests?
It all comes to one thing. SURVIVAL.
No mortal's living a life, everybodys just surviving. Makes us shallow, but till
the money's rolling in, nobody cares.
(CONTD. VOICE OVER)
IN TEXT - CHAPTER 4 - SCIENCE:
Science.
Theres more to it than just pendulums, catalysts & reproduction.
The hormones in our brain control our actions. Questioning, reasoning, speech.
Science contradicts, makes the human mind fickle.
Revolution, rotation, Physics, Morning, Night, How does it work? Is it all an il
lusion?
or perhaps the best kept secret.
Thoughts are planted into our minds conciously, subconciously & unconsiously.
There's no 'hence proved'in true science
(CONTD. VOICE OVER)
IN TEXT - CHAPTER 5 - x_x :
We support, judge, prove, all for nothing. Nothings right or wrong.
How morally ambiguous is life
I want to break these shackles, run away, take birth again.
I want to go to, to be at a far off land from this Man-made world, barring langu
age, barring looks, beyond the
right & wrong doings, no life, no death. where people are strangers, but respect
each others presence.
A place, where people are not cultured, or taught about whats good or bad, a pla
ce where religion does not exist.
where all creatures, have their own take on things.
I came out to search for answers, but Im going back with more questions.
I am SAMEER. & Im still in search of the light. (THE EXTREME CLOSE UPS OF THE EY
ES, HEAD, LIPS TOGETHER FORMING A FACE
(THE CLOSE UPS WERE OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE, DOESNT MAKE A CONTINUOUS FACE, SHOWING
THAT SAMEER IS NOT ONE PERSON, BUT EVERYBODY))
BLACKOUT
END.
