We Are Young + Parody + Sunscreen.
As an assignment, we were tasked to react on three videos which were shown to us last week. Since the message of the videos were kinda alike, I took the liberty of putting it into one entry.
From Fun.’s song “We Are Young”, I learned not to take the lyrics literally. The song uses symbolism through words to set the message creatively. And from it’s parody, “We’re Not Young”, for me, it talks about that cliche quote: “Do what you love or else you’re gonna be forced to love what you do.” It’s never too late to make things work out for yourself. Yes, we are young, but it is not an excuse to make pointless decisions that will eventually take us nowhere.
And lastly, “Everybody’s Free To Wear Sunscreen” by Baz Luhrmann taught me to enjoy my youth. It’s true that we will never recognize the worth of our youth until we look back 10 or 15 years later, when we feel our bones crack. When the “noise” we hear is actually just teenage music. When we start to love sleep more than we love ourselves. You know, the things older people feel. To sum it all up, making the right decisions in life, especially during our youth, will bring us good in return. To quote the awesome One Direction, “live while we’re young”. :D
