Some people have a unique way of understanding the world. Call them crazy, weird or simply different ones. Fact is: we as humans have the natural curiosity of wondering how their minds works. What do they think? How is the celebrity´s daily life?
The 1999 movie "
Being John Malkovich" brought us a provocative plot: imagine that you discover a hidden tunnel right in your office which leads directly to the mind of another person. In this case, inside the famous actor´s mind. Once there, you´d be able to experience - in first person perspective - every physical and psychological aspect that surrounds the fame and professional success. Quite addictive, huh?
The need of public recognition is something that we seek. Pop Artist Andy Warhol said that we were suposed to have at least 15 minutes of fame...
In the movie, each experience only last for 15 minutes. After that, you were literally expelled. To repeat the process, you should go through the tunnel again. And the line of anxious and curious people was getting longer and longer.
See any resemblance with Twitter?Just change the following:
- "Enter the mind of others" equals "Twitter Profiles";
- "15 minutes of experience" equals "every 140 characters post";
- "Line of anxious and curious people" equals "Twitter Followers";
- "15 minutes of fame" equals "one sucessful Twitter post".
