OTH




Lately, I've been addicted to One Tree Hill. There's really something about foreign TV shows. One difference is that; they're not like ours. They don't make TV programs for the sake of the actors to be popular. They create these shows with so much sense in the story. The characters are well-established and constant, like completely diverse kinds of people created the script. I love how they make a good plot from the start of an episode to the last. Why can't our show business industry do the same? I know I know, too much for nationalism. But what the heck? It's not the point, I meant the "sense" of the program is missing. Our shows are like..... I don't even know how to describe it.

Before I start ranting about all the bullcraps.. I just like to share one quote that I considered one of the best ever written for a script.

Episode 16 Season 3

Coach Whitey Durham: [on present time-capsule] It's been fifty years, fifty long years since I've done this. Looking back on what I said all those years ago, all the hopes and dreams I had, I've come to the conclusion that if having things turn out the way you wanted them to is a measure of a successful life, then some would say I'm a failure. The important thing is not to be bitter over life's disappointments. Learn to let go of the past. And recognize that every day won't be sunny, and when you find yourself lost in the darkness and despair, remember it's only in the black of night you see the stars. And those stars will lead you back home. So don't be afraid to make mistakes, to stumble and fall, cause most of the time, the greatest rewards come from doing the things that scare you the most. Maybe you'll get everything you wish for. Maybe you'll get more than you ever could have imagined. Who knows where life will take you. The road is long and in the end, the journey is the destination.



More and more reasons to love OTH. :)
