Late Night Television N

Hello. So a few days ago I was watching some tv around midnight waiting for my computer to download something. I somehow found myself watching Death of a Salesman from 1985 on TMC or something. It was about half way done and it was at the part where the mother is chewing out her kids for not respecting their father and how hard he’s worked or whatever. She was talking about how he’s worked his whole life at some sales firm and now they took his salary away and how he seems to be cracking under the pressure. I remember reading the book last year and I think it ended up with him committing suicide or something (The ending always seems ambiguous to me for some reason.) Thinking about it, it’s really weird how the author captured such a mundane life. The way the characters interacted with each other and that kind of gut feeling it generates when you hear how shitty his life is going. That feeling of pointlessness and a bit of anger. That’s something huh? How this guy just wrote some shmuck into such a situation and have it seem so real. I didn’t watch all of it. I was getting bored. It just seemed so funny to me how accurate the movie and book were. Eventually the mother got to the part where she says that the father has his faults, but he’s a human being and deserves better. At that point I thought to myself “So what? That’s life. You work and then you die and it doesn’t matter.” Thanks for listening.
