Dressed and with her hair in a ponytail, Zoey watched Avis a little blankly at first as she rattled off a bunch of her thoughts, pouring herself a cup of coffee and sitting to listen. For the most part she simply nodded along in her agreement, until Avis concluded. Her chin rested in the palm of her hand as she considered the words, before shaking her head.
"Death is about duality, as is Spirit in its own way. Death is not about the ending of anything, not in particular, so much as the consistant change between one state and another. It's similar to the Tarot card Death: Endings, beginnings, change, transformation and transition. If you think on it more in that kind of open-context, I'm sure you can sort out the many ways it applies to film.
"Spirit," Zoey continued, "seems to me an easy one for film. Conceptually it's the notion that inanimate objects have a desire to fulfill some purpose that they were created for. Film itself does that - the goal that was wound into each frame of each image was to entertain and enlighten audiences, to tell a story, and to express enjoyment, or fear, or contemplation... the spirit of the movies.
"And I agree, in part, regarding Fate, though not entirely," she added. "The phrase Fate is Fickle is not often fully embraced in film. Predictability is what too often happens. And Fate is certainly not a predictable essence. However, when you consider both Fate and Death for a moment, there are plenty of rumours regarding hauntings on set during film, instances where actors do voluntarily leave their lives in the hands of Fate when performing stunts or difficult situations. Jackie Chan, for instance, has broken many, many bones in filming at Fate's whims. Fate may also play a roll in the popularity of a film, or the ascension of an actor or actress in any given instance..."
She took another sip of her coffee. "But really, I'm not quite awake enough to provide a more thorough analysis of the subject than that... so give me a few minutes for the caffiene to kick in."
