Stargirl : Stargirl's award winning speech

 

    For today's blog, I’m going to do a monologue from one of DC’s American Superhero Television Series called “Stargirl” created by Geoff Johns. This TV Series is based on his DC Comics superhero "Courtney whitmore".

Stargirl (2020) - Brec Bassinger

    I don’t know why I was giving that speech. I don’t know why I do a lot of things lately. I bet you find that, too, right? And it’s because we don’t think. We just do. We don’t take a step back and process. Everything’s so instant these days. How can we? Dinner in minutes. A thousand photographs in one burst. You have to “like” something this second. You have to know how you feel about everything. You can’t be unsure or confused or change your mind. There’s no time to figure out who you are. You have to know right now.

    Have you ever seen a flower grow? I mean of course not. It’s nearly impossible to wait for anything that takes that long. But if you did, it would change you. It would slow you down. It would remind you that real things take time. And it’s magic, too, isn’t it? I mean so are 1,000 photographs in one burst. But a flower. You plant a seed in the ground and a whole world develops and stretches out and opens up. It’s easy to get confused when we’re moving so fast and to think we’re doing the right thing when really we’re not. But if we’re lucky we could find a balance. We could take a step back. We could take a breath. The next time that you see a flower sticking up out of the ground or in a vase, just remember that part of what makes it beautiful is how long it took to grow.
