I am watching A Few Good Men 1992.

It's a brilliant movie!

I think i have flashbacks of ███████. ██████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████I think this is the way to save Sri Lanka.

3:30 p.m.

(b)

People DO NOT talk like this, Aaron Sorkin!

At least, with the editing, it is unrealistic, it takes a few seconds to compute / process this heavy stuff.

I have to pause this video to register the logic and to make sense of it.

3:45 p.m.

Brilliant writing! Very clever, very good. It rhymes!

SO PERFECTLY!

I think in Singapore, Valerie HY Chai, she would do personal tutoring for me. She is smart, so she talks very fast, but I am slow, so I asked her to slow down. It was still too fast, so I asked her to slowdown to kindergarten pace, and then, and only then, did i do very well, scoring As and Bs.

4:00 p.m.

I don't agree with the idea that one person should write a script by herself. It's a stupid idea. Aaron Sorkin, is considered, the best. I learned from his MasterClass. I am writing dialogue into my script.

BUT.

There's a few problems.

There are* a few problems with this:

1. I think in the real world, people watch their mouths now. They are aware of the cancel culture. They are afraid of being shouted at. It's a very oestrogen driven world we live in nowadays.

This is perhaps, a good thing. People share negative views in private, at least, I do. I think people nowadays write their negative views in their diaries and then make a list of people they hate, and ask G-d to███████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

People say things with intent, with motive, with tact, with finesse and style.

Why is this a problem, you may ask?

What's the point, Lehan?

Get to the point, Lehan?

Well, you are programming people with media, so if they see people do xyz, if they see people drink Coca Cola in Jaws, or scream at each other, or kill each other, they may have that programming implanted into their minds, and it normalises it.

So, they may want to do it too.

This is why, it's good when dialogue is clever, when there are no umms or buts, and other human errors. Good dialogue writers avoid things like, complete sentences to mimic human speech. Contractions like ain't are useful.

2. When you write the dialogue for characters A, B, C, D, E and F. Six people. How are you truly supposed to do it? They are not real people. In The Social Network, you might think, oh Zuckerberg, real person. But nope. It's a fictionalised interpretation of that person. It's an actor playing a role. It even says that this is a work of fiction in the disclaimer, and any you know, any resemblance is a pure coincidence.

So, what, Lehan?

I don't get it?

Here, it's too fake. You are creating fixed characters, with a particular set of character attributes. Oh, so, this guy, Zuckerberg, he is like this. He has 03 out of 10 strength, 8 intelligence, 5 wisdom, 4 charisma, and i guess, 2 luck. He has this ruthless character trait.

So, he must always be this way.

Yes, there is a restricted movement in his character arc, his attributes grow by 2 points throughout the filmed portion of this drama presentation--even if wisdom falls by 2 points, but that is okay.

This is not very realistic. In real life, people often grow, they learn, this is not captured in film making.

It's often a punitive portrayal, a punishing, journalistic depiction, or representation, to prove a point, to make the audience feel a certain way about the case.

3. Those people, they do not talk that way. It's not natural, it feels fake, it feels IMPERFECT.

I would prefer, if people, even if AARON SORKIN or LEHAN EDIRISINGHE are the screenplay writers, that they checked it out, they spoke it.

Made it seem good, seem realistic.

Quentin says, "NO", I pay you to say my lines.

But I disagree.

4:30 p.m.

I like to see Penny ██████ in her uniform.

4:30 p.m.

Aaron Sorkin is right!

Or was it Jack Nicholson?

I get the feeling, Demi Moore is more guilty.

What did Aaron tell her?

This is to make Army guys look bad?

For being male chauvinists?

5:00 p.m.

(b)

I didn't LOVE Knights of the Old Republic, some of my friends forced me to play with them.

I played the Juggernaut cause I liked Darth Vader

I had a suit like this, i was called, "Darth Lehan"!

SITH ALL THE WAY! !

6:00 p.m.

(b)

I took my dad's Rolex. I think i kept playing with the turning thing, the dial knob, I think I broke it.

My dad Palith was a previous generation. He and everyone else is just fossil fuel for me.

Even though, I am a nuclear power plant.

I am the Patek Philippe.

The limited edition Grand Master.

Hear me chime, b-tches!

6:00 p.m.

This guy looks like Philippe ████.

6:45 p.m.

They have crickets chirping for 5 seconds, but the awkward silence lasts for 10 seconds or more!

I think this happened in Pauline's room!

I was thinking of stuff.

I often think about stuff before i say things!

8:30 p.m.

I'm watching A Few Good Men. It's a good performance. A good movie.

In our company, Cyberspace Command Ltd, even if I am the chairman and ceo, even if I tell someone, do this or do that, it's not an order.

I think that, like a minister, or president, my job, is "leadership", it's a very valuable service product.

It's a very, perfectly flat, organisational culture. People can do anything they want. It's like a fake company. You don't have to come to office. It's a very relaxed setting. Everyone, has some good in them, some value, at least 1%, they can help out in some way. These managerial strategies, they are useful because we can then attract talent internationally. It's very useful.

If you go about barking orders, it's a bad idea.

I think only my new security team will have a direct chain of command for security reasons.

Lalith Kahatapitiya, they sit at the table with teammates in his company KIK. I like that guy over at WSO2, I don't fully agree, i don't like their low tech solutions, I don't like the Sysco Labs low tech solutions, or Dinesh's Hsenid low tech HRM products, but that's because I want to see them make more advanced solutions that can outcompete.

Today, people don't just work to survive. They work, to enjoy themselves, we entered the quality of social life era a few decades ago. It's not a factory in Oliver Twist era, or a slave plantation.

I think you are better off with it.

This was a mistake in hindsight ;

; because,

memorizing, takes away the person's ability to answer with honesty and respond to questioning successfully. Memorization is never a good idea.
