Hunted

Watched "The Hunted" on Monday-7 March 2006. The action wasn't bad but the plot was crap. The title provided some food for thought.

We are all hunted in some sense. Hunted and haunted by societal demands and norms, the pressures of our family and of ourselves. Yes, we not only hunt others as a society by imposing our standards on them and judging them if they do not meet our standards, but we also hunt ourselves. If it's belivably possible. We try to be the perfect kid, the perfect student, the perfect spouse, the perfect _______ so that we can kid ourselves that everything is perfect. It is a farce. The truth is, we are not perfect and never will be. And so we are going around in circles, trying to attain perfectness in whatever we're trying to achieve, creating tension within ourselves, trapping ourselves and hunting ourselves. We are thus the Hunter and the Hunted. Reminds me of the saying "One's greatest enemy is himself."
