Transparent revisited

I wanted to re-encode this DVD for a long time. Since I've taken in out from my shelf, I watch it one more time. I know very well about the story. Even I can tell what is next scene is going to be. I still like this movie, after more than a year (nearly 2 years). Maybe, it subconsciously changed the way I behave, and changed my thought about life. The change comes in both directions. I find myself telling more truthful facts to people surrounding me. But as a side effect, people always thinks that I'm not telling the truth, because they think it's just "too good to be true", simply it's not something a normal guy in their society would say. How RIDICULOUS!!! In Chinese, it is called "Gou2 Yan3 Kan4 Ren2 Di1" (dogs do not look up to people) and many many more (can't recall offhand, but this is descriptive enough).

I now slowly understand the the meaning of the conclusion in the show "There's more to the myth about Medusa. When the hero Perseus slays Medusa, Pegasus is born of her blood... In the modern age, as words proliferate, it is difficult to know people's hearts. And many people suffer because of this. Maybe the modern age needs Transparents... If we all accept Tranparents as normal, perhaps we'll have ushered in a new age... As Pegasus born from Medusa blood, spread his wings across endless skies. So I have come to believe".

P.S. For those who are still interested, it appears (again) in schemers.
