Flight 8

Dusty Crophopper: I’ve been flying over the same patch of grass, day after day, month after month, for years!  I’m just trying to prove that maybe, just maybe I can do more than what I was built for.

I can only count the days in my hands when my son Sky failed to watch Disney’s Planes movie. The movie became his bedtime story. We both laugh, sing and from time to time as I’ve noticed we’re feeding our heads with Planes conversation. Sky sing along because the soundtrack were very catchy and of course some taste of rock genre music (his favorite genre). It’s just too funny to think about it sometimes, when songs are played he will always asked me to sing along with him. In the long run, I was able to stir up my interest in taking down notes of the movie’ s quotable lines. The movie for me personally is full of values that we can connect to our lives. It talks about the reality of our life. It portrays about; 

  • Ambition
  • Gaining confidence
  • Friendship
  • Trust
  • Teamwork
  • Deceitfulness
  • Willful blindness
  • Humiliation
  • Obscurity
  • Empathy
  • Victory and a whole lot more.

Moreover, Dusty Crophopper is a hardworking, full of ambition, empathic and goal driven plane (if we will describe him in humanistic point of view). The movie is full of inspiration and Sky became a fan of El Chupacabra’s  lines for Bulldog;

    El Chupacabra: You make joke? Very well…you leave me with no choice! I swish my cape to you! You’ve been shamed.

    Sky will imitate his Mexican accent and ended up laughing. 

    On the other hand, the movie itself basically has an impact to myself personally. Another line from the movie and by this time it was Chug who was telling Dusty,

    There is nothing better than dying while doing what you love most.”

    A very well said by Chug, in which I basically overcome my fear of doing the things for what my heart desires. It is because I gain more confidence in pursuing my innate talent that was recently awaken. We all have that fear of rejection, but because I was able to learned how to conquer it by means of breaking away from the negativity. The humiliation that I got became my tool to inspire myself and excel in the field that I have which is the creative world. It is infinitely true that if we have the empathic values, we may be able to understand life as a whole. The divergence of introspection to outrospection. I grew up and live a life full of questions but but because of radical change I was able to find the answers.  I want to inspire people that there are a lot of things that we can do and it’s never too late to achieve it. Build up that confidence and prove to them that you can do more than what they expected. 

    Then let this conversation of Dusty and Franz be the inspiration,

    Franz: You are an inspiration to all of us.

    Dusty: All of us?

    Franz: Yeah, all of us who want to do more than just what we are built for.
