It was like any somber day. Pattering rain tearing through the sky and scenery, grouchy clouds blotting out the upbeat sun that paints the world bright and intensely hued with its light, and taciturn streets that are most often bustling are empty to keep from being drenched with this dreary weather. Most often people try to get work done around their snug homes on days like this. Others try to relax and spend their leisure time performing activities for their enjoyment. Boredom, however, is different. Boredom, as normal as any other being; eats, sleeps, and breaths. The one difference though, is while most others try to work and be productive, Boredom lays draped over a piece of furniture doing nothing. Boredom’s mind is blank and unable to decide on some form of productivity, whether it actually is productive or simply a form of entertainment to fill the empty mind. This …show more content…
‘I don’t know what to do with myself’ resonates repeatedly off the walls. Boredom occasionally yells in frustration at not knowing what to do. Thunder cracks outside followed by a flash of lightning shredding the sky. A dark shadowy figure travels across the window almost as recklessly as the flash of lightning. Boredom merely decides to watch a movie to satiate the feeling of sparseness, ignoring anything happening going on in the outside world. The movie is one that Boredom has never seen before, new to the stimulation of the mind. “The movie better be worth it,” Boredom mutters in hopes to temporarily satisfy the intense emptiness. Everything from the dreary gloom in the world outside to the feeling of emptiness begin to fade and are forgotten. As the movie continues Boredom’s facade slowly begins to melt away, revealing something gruesome underneath. Boredom is slipping away as the movie continues, a favorite character is found and Boredom watches intently; it is prepared to see what happens

Some people think that boredom is a serious problem astronaut in outer space. I, however, think that it shouldn’t be. I have two reasons for that statement. Firstly, astronauts should be busy because of ship maintenance or research about Mars before they arrive at their destination. Secondly, Space is one of the most interesting things in the universe, especially for space-lovers, like - of course – astronauts.

As rain seeped from the heavens, the dreary charcoal buildings began to resemble grotesque tombstones. The rain swirled across the concrete road, past the abandoned basketball court haunted by the echoes of childhood and under the park benches where lovers had once met to profess their passion. The rain-soaked wind pushed the corroded swings, their eerie creaking harmonizing with the wind’s soft moans. In its wake, the rain left shallow ebony puddles doomed to virginity, forever untouched by the rubber soles of childrens’ rain boots. Raindrops tapped against dark window-panes, filling the street with a melancholy melody.
In Ellen Ruppel's, “In Praise of Bordeom” she explains from her personal history that boredom can be more beneficial than having an itinerary for your child because it can suppress the room to grow in creativity and imagination. For example, when she was a child, she consistently attended a vacant parking lot and would entertain herself with activities such as reading books, bouncing balls around and playing in the grass. She mentions that we are losing trust in our kids and don’t give them a long enough leash to navigate into the world. Ellen points the finger at marketing, because these days we are taught that the more money we spend on a learned progress like karate, organized sports and lessons, the more successful they will grow up to be. She feels that parents are straining a child's creativity and that play is

I suffer.” For purposes of this paper, I can say that consciousness, as depicted in the movie, is existent as the mind because when one travels through the tunnel to John Malkovich’s head their conscious mind is aware of what he is experiencing but we are unsure of where the body goes until the 15 minutes is up and the body is thrown into the ditch. This idea of the conscious mind of a person being able to inhabit John Malkovich’s mind temporarily further supports Descartes notion that we are a thinking thing and that our minds are able to live without our bodies as he says, “If I stopped thinking, I would stop exisiting.”
The most apparent themes in this film are loneliness and isolation. Based on the cinematography, it is evident that wide shots of the characters occupy a small space alone or an extremely large space with many people who are completely unaware of their existence. Both of these things work to portray the idea that Murray's character, Bob, and Johansson's character, Charlotte, are lonely, isolated, and missing something. The director also uses the concept of balance to pass the message on the emotional state of the characters.
He suffers from psychological complexes, that alienated him from society, and he 's unable to face the realities of life.
