THE WORLD RUNS ON IDEAS. A SITUATIONAL AWARENESS MOVIE REVIEW OF BRAD PITT’S NEW MOVIE “AD ASTRA” FOR SENTIMENTAL PEOPLE WHO WANT WHAT IS IMPORTANT – by Gary Smolker, Movie Reviewer, Values Critic, Social Commentator, and Trial Attorney

The new Brad Pitt Movie AD ASTRA is an action packed science fiction movie – it takes place in a new near future.

It is a storyabout a FAST TRACT MAN, a  man on the fast track, a man who was “never there.”

His wife finally left him.

She complained he was never there.

  • He didn’t have time to go on vacations.
  • He wasn’t there when he was traveling.
  • He wasn’t there when he was at home with her.

This deeply bothered him while he was on a mission in outer space to save the world.

He wanted his wife.

He wanted to be with his wife.

At the end of the movie, after he successfully completed his mission, he figured out what he was going to do going forward with his life.

He resolved:

  • To live life.
  • To love his wife, and those he was close to.
  • To share his burdens with his wife and those he was close to and to share their burdens with them.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching this action packed movie with a message.

TAKEAWAY

Takeaway: The world runs on ideas.

This movie sends a good message.

I totally 100% agree with the message this movie sends.

About Gary S. Smolker

PERSONAL PHILOSOPHY: No enterprise can exist for itself alone. Every successful enterprise ministers to some great need, it performs some great service, not for itself, but for others. Otherwise, it ceases to be profitable and ceases to exist. Imagination, open mindedness and flexibility are the most important factors in unlocking potential. Those who embrace innovation, improvisation, continuous learning, time management, are action oriented, high energy, passionate, creative, purposeful and intense individuals are best equipped to succeed. We all have ideas and the ability to make progress by sharing information and our ideas and also by changing our ideas when appropriate. We should always be on the lookout for teaching and mentoring moments. We hold time like water in our hands; however tightly we clench our fingers, it drips away. But, if it falls on a seed, a seed may grow to become something that will have a positive social impact. PERSONAL INTERESTS: I have a passion to learn, to innovate, to lead, to mentor and to teach. I seek to write things worth reading and want to do things worth writing about. I enjoy (a) driving a fast car, (b) having intense conversations (c) teaching/mentoring, (d) reading and (e) being involved in productive activity. PERSONAL: I believe in cultivating and backing passionate people, innovation, and old fashioned good ideas. I love making human connections and spreading good ideas. I am strongly motivated to achieve in situations in which independence of thought and action are called for. PERSONAL GOALS: I want to live life vibrantly, to be as sharp as a tack until my last breath and to change the world by being me. My personal goal is to be fully engaged in life, to lead by example, to set high standards and to continue to amass firsthand experience and knowledge in all that interests me. PERSONALITY: I love fun and mischief. I relish absurdity. I have an irreverent, facetious and satiric disposition. I dread boredom. I have spent a lifetime reading. I have no bias against people who have lived successful and/or complicated lives. I write to release tension, to get things off my chest. SOCIAL MEDIA: I post articles on the "Gary S. Smolker Idea Exchange" blog at www.garysmolker.wordpress.com, and "Dude's Guide to Women's Shoes" at www.dudesguidetowomensshoes.com. I also post images and comments on Instagram @garyspassion.
