ENGLISH
1:51 --> 1:52
So you have to ask yourself:
1:53 --> 1:55
Do you think human creativity matters?
1:58 --> 2:000
Well, hmm.
2:001 --> 2:005
Most people don't spend a lot of time thinking about poetry. Right?
2:005 --> 2:006
They have a life to live,
2:06 --> 2:009
and they're not really that concerned with Allen Ginsberg's poems
2:09 --> 2:010
or anybody's poems,
2:10 --> 2:011
until their father dies,
2:011 --> 2:013
they go to a funeral,
2:014 --> 2:016
you lose a child,
2:16 --> 2:018
somebody breaks your heart, they don't love you anymore,
2:19 --> 2:020
and all of a sudden,
2:20 --> 2:021
you're desperate for making sense out of this life,
2:24 --> 2:026
and, "Has anybody ever felt this bad before?
2:27 --> 2:028
How did they come out of this cloud?"
2:29 --> 2:030
Or the inverse -- something great.
2:31 --> 2:332
You meet somebody and your heart explodes.
2:33 --> 2:036
You love them so much, you can't even see straight.
2:36 --> 2:37
You know, you're dizzy.
2:37 --> 2:039
"Did anybody feel like this before? What is happening to me?"
2:40 --> 2:044
And that's when art's not a luxury, it's actually sustenance.
2:44 --> 2:046
We need it.
2:46 --> 2:048
OK. Well, what is it?
2:048 --> 2:053
Human creativity is nature manifest in us.
2:53 --> 2:056
We look at the, oh ...
2:57 --> 2:059
the aurora borealis. Right?
2:59 --> 3:000
I did this movie called "White Fang" when I was a kid,
3:01 --> 3:002
and we shot up in Alaska,
3:02 --> 3:004
and you go out at night
3:04 --> 3:007
and the sky was like rippling with purple and pink and white,
3:07 --> 3:009
and it's the most beautiful thing I ever saw.
3:09 --> 3:11
It really looked like the sky was playing.
3:11 --> 3:12
Beautiful.
3:13 --> 3:14
You go to Grand Canyon at sundown.
3:14 --> 3:15
It's beautiful.
3:15 --> 3:16
We know that's beautiful.
3:17 --> 3:18
But fall in love?
3:18 --> 3:20
Your lover's pretty beautiful.
SPANISH
1:51 --> 1:52
Así que, debes preguntarte a ti mismo:
1:53 --> 1:55
¿Crees que la creatividad humana es importante?
1:58 --> 2:000
Bueno, hmm.
2:001 --> 2:005
La mayoría de las personas no pasan tiempo pensando en la poesía. ¿Cierto?
2:005 --> 2:006
Tienen una vida que vivir,
2:06 --> 2:009
Y realmente no les importan las poesías de Allen Ginsberg
2:09 --> 2:010
Ni de nadie,
2:10 --> 2:011
Hasta que sus padres mueren,
2:011 --> 2:013
Van a un funeral,
2:014 --> 2:016
Pierden un hijo,
2:16 --> 2:018
Alguien rompe tu corazón, dejan de amarte
2:19 --> 2:020
Y de la nada,
2:20 --> 2:021
Estás desesperado por hallarle sentido a la vida
2:24 --> 2:026
Y, “¿Acaso alguien se ha sentido así de mal alguna vez?
2:27 --> 2:028
¿Cómo superaron esto?”
2:29 --> 2:030
O en otro caso, pasa algo bueno.
2:31 --> 2:332
Conoces a alguien y tu corazón explota
2:33 --> 2:036
Amas tanto a la persona que no puedes ver bien.
2:36 --> 2:37
Ya sabes, estás mareado.
2:37 --> 2:039
“¿Alguien se ha sentido así antes? ¿Qué me está pasando?”
2:40 --> 2:044
Y ahí es cuando el arte no es un lujo, realmente es necesario.
2:44 --> 2:046
La necesitamos.
2:46 --> 2:048
Ok. ¿Cómo es?
2:048 --> 2:053
La creatividad humana es cómo la naturaleza se manifiesta en nosotros.
2:53 --> 2:056
Miramos a las, oh…
2:57 --> 2:059
Las auroras boreales. ¿Cierto?
2:59 --> 3:000
Hice esta película llamada “Colmillo Blanco” cuando era un niño,
3:01 --> 3:002
Y filmamos en Alaska,
3:02 --> 3:004
Y al salir en la noche
3:04 --> 3:007
El cielo estaba teñido de morado, rosado y blanco,
3:07 --> 3:009
Y es la cosa más hermosa que haya visto.
3:09 --> 3:11
Realmente parecía que el cielo se divertía.
3:11 --> 3:12
Hermoso.
3:13 --> 3:14
Vas al Gran Cañón al atardecer.
3:14 --> 3:15
Es hermoso.
3:15 --> 3:16
Sabemos que es hermoso.
3:17 --> 3:18
Pero, ¿enamorarse?
3:18 --> 3:20
Tu amante es bastante hermoso
LITERAL
It's beautiful.
Es hermoso.
