Thank you for Smoking
I recently saw the movie, thank you for smoking. I thought it was a very unique piece. The main character made a living by talking. He was a lobbyist for cigarettes and was the most hated man on Earth. However, he was able to talk himself out of countless situations and that was how he made a living. He didn’t ever have to study this field of talking, he did not graduate college, he was not a smart kid in high school, and etc... The only thing that he could do was talk and that was what ended up being his career. If I ever had talk for a living, I think I would be homeless within a day. The way this guy is able to stir up rebuttals and the way his mind thinks is totally different than any other mind that I’ve ever met. He is able to mold arguments within the argument. Therefore, he is not fighting the direct topic, yet, he is fighting a topic that consists of the topic at hand. So, he is able to win any debate that he wants because of the fact that he structures his argument in such a way that no one can refute what he says. Through this movie I learned that you can take any talent that your really good at and put it to use in the real world. I’m sure everyone can talk but no one can talk as well as this guy. I’m sure everyone can eat, but there are a few certain chosen ones who eat better than others, and those are the people you see shoving 50 hot dogs down their throats during the 4th of July. Everyone has a special talent that they are really good at it and as long as they stick by their talent, they will be able to be successful in life and will be happy in life because of the fact that they are doing something that the love and are good at doing. Therefore, they would never get bored of it and would never be disappointed because they are they best at what they do.
