Open F2F Class notes 24th August (Eddie)

untangle = (figurative) clear up

the straw that broke the camel’s back / the last straw = (figurative) a breaking point

a breath of fresh air =

he didn’t think it was that big of a deal

Original:
I think this short documentary tells a person’s real life story in a very cool way with monologue, white and black images and background music like Jazz. And the sentence shows some points to me. Nowadays many people would pay for expensive products or luxurious way of life to kill the emptiness in their hearts. They don’t really know what they want and they just live and work for money which is used to buy more stuffs. We are sometimes kind of lost in the materialized world where would not provide us long-terms happiness. So sometimes we need ask ourselves what really makes me happy and what I want to do right now.

I think this short documentary tells a person’s real life story in a very cool way with monologue, white and black imagery set to a jazz soundtrack. I believe the character makes some points. Nowadays many people would pay for expensive products or luxurious way of life to fill the emptiness in their hearts. They don’t really know what they want and they just live and work for money which is used to buy more stuff. We are sometimes kind of lost in the materialistic world which does not provide long-term happiness.

So / Which is why sometimes we need to ask ourselves what really makes us happy and what we want to do right now.
