Trauma Characterized
Homunculus (2021)
Synopsis: Truth and illusion blurs when a homeless amnesiac awakens from an experimental medical procedure with the ability to see people's innermost traumas.
The film is based on a manga (a Japanese comic), and it’s brilliant writing and adaptation as well, the film suffered a lot because it cut out some good parts from the manga, but the film does manage to deliver the main plot it aims to show. An extra bit long, but very interesting as you delve deep into the traumas of the characters you come across in the film, it’s dark and enlightening at the same time.
4100 pull-ups
Truett Hanes
David Goggins is the world's toughest human. He once took up the challenge of breaking the pull-up world record and after a total of 3 attempts, Goggins set the bar at 4030 pull-ups.
That record was soon then broken.
Truett Hanes, son of Cameron Hanes who is friends with David Goggins, took up the challenge of doing 4100 pull-ups.
The toll so many pull-ups within 24 hours take on the body is insane. The hands bleed and leave deep cuts because of the time spent gripping the bar.
In the video linked below, you can witness the toughness of humans and their willingness to go above and beyond.
and miles to go before I sleep
I am obsessed with one thing and one thing only: running. It’s been a journey, ~3000kms, and counting, and looking back makes me feel at peace and fires me up to go the distance and pursue even greater distances.
As I continue the path, I want myself to know what I am capable of and what I am capable of….
MORE!
Until next time, ciao.
