#The River and the Mountain One day, the river thought to herself, 'Do I have to keep flowing all my life? Can't I stop and rest for a little while ?'' She needed advice, so she called out to the mountain and shared her thoughts with him. The mountain just laughed and said: ''Hey, look at me, I have been standing in the same place for ages!'' The river replied, ''You are firm and fixed in one place, how could you ever get tired ? Look at me, I have to be on the move all the time. I don't get to rest for even a single minute!'' The mountain smiled. ''That is how you see it, but I get tired of standing here,'' he replied. ''Every day I see the same trees and the same patch of sky, sometimes I wish: if only I could run around like the river, I would visit new forests and villages. I would water their fields, give life, and be so deeply loved by all. ''The river interrupted, ''That's strange! Your life is so comfortable and peaceful, yet you feel this way.'' ''You don't get it, my sister. You are worshiped by everyone.'' the mountain replied lovingly. ''You flow for the sake of others. And that's not all! After giving away so much, you offer whatever remains, to the sea.'' On hearing this, the river bowed down to the mountain and said with great enthusiasm, ''You are absolutely right, my brother. The true purpose of my life is to give life to others. Thank you for your kind wisdome!'' She said. Then, while the mountain smiled at her newfound positive energy, she gushed away with a loud gurgle, feeling very happy.
I think that river is often compared to human life. River is not only passing through, but also where something flow in and flow out. It is dynamic activity. This film gives me a lot of those thought. Nice music and nice story. Thank you, great creators!
La manipulació que feu de canviar el color dels subrètols no va gens bé per a llegir-los. En distorsiona la lectura i de reconèixer-hi el que sentim; tot altrament de la pretensió que us ho fa fer. Ho acaba d'espatllar que ho desdobleu els subrètols xarnecs: això dispersa la vista, fa més costent la lectura -perquè costa més de concetrar-s'hi- i malaguanya l'espai que hauríeu de dedicar als neerlandesos, perquè així llegir-los fos més fàcil i doncs més fàcil que restessin a la memòria recent per a poder seguir el fil de l'explicació. Mercès.
