Living Means Being Optimist


According to Bruno Bozzetto's presentation from my point of view living means being optimist. People usually have to face different situations where they have to choose on facing them with a favorable view or with a negative one. Beside the election that people make, if they decide to keep living that means they are waiting something better; therefore, they are optimist after all.

Bruno Bozzetto shows us a metaphor of the creation of the world; at the first step, he created the earth; second, the vegetation; third, the animals; fourth, the humanity, and finally, the urbanization. Everything was happiness at the fourth step when people lived without so many technology, but when people started to be civilized, they started to be as barbarian as possible. There were people shooting each other, street crime, and suicide, among others. The music in the presentation started to be an uncomfortable noise. At that point, Bozzetto observed the situation, deleted that world, and threw it away. At the end, he had a box full with balls, the happy music started again as it was at the beginning till the fourth step, and he went up stairs simulating going to bed at night.

This shows me that this is a Bozzetto habit, he wakes up every morning trying to create a new world, then he tries to delete every bad attitude or situation at the end of the day, and he goes to bed wanting to start over again. Therefore, he decides to live, and living means being optimist always trying to start over and over again.
