Eloi and Morlocks 1/21/2025 9:30:39 PM
Maybe George Pal and H.G. Wells knew something we don't. I always thought of the Morlocks as the bad guys. I now see them as the savior of what was left of the human race. Poor little Eloi getting eaten by the blue meanies.
If you put it in terms of 'followers' 'doers'...the Eloi deserved their fate. Like the cattle they were, they blindly trusted and followed when the siren called. Never questioning their lot in life. Remind you of something in this day and age?
The Morlocks, although burdened with blue skin, resembling smurfs that didn't know how to diet properly, were the smart ones. And how did the Eloi, who supposedly remained above ground survive radiation poisoning plus manage to come out looking like the Children of the Corn. They must have had some powerfully effective sun block, is all I'm saying.
I am a Morlock. I don't mind being blue for the most part. I will take brains and discrimination over beauty and...stupidity any day of the week.
I will not listen to a siren. I will place my hands over my ears and wait until the 'all clear'. I will replace stupidity with common sense and common decency. I will stand back and watch...and learn what is right and what is wrong. No one will tell me these things. I will patiently seek the answers out for myself. I will make an informed decision on how my life will evolve. Elois...suck.
