IN A PRISONER’S EYES
By David Bomber
One of my fondest memories was playing an extra in the movie, “War of the Worlds.” As it turned out I played the role of a survivor, who among others, was migrating to God knows where after the aliens invaded.
Basically, the filming entailed walking around in a field for two days, in which we pretty much froze. However, my efforts did garner me a few precious seconds in the movie. Of course you have to know exactly where to look, but I can honestly point me out. Nevertheless, it was an exhilarating experience considering that I was able to rub elbows with the likes of Steven Spielberg, Tom Cruise, & Dakota Fanning.
The thing that I loved most about the entire experience was that there was no judgement, no “I’m better than you” attitude from these celebrities. In their eyes we were an integral part in the production of the movie, and it was obvious that sentiment meant a lot to us extras.
In comparison, there is a greater sense of gratitude in knowing that there are people, such as yourself, who invest their time and energy in a platform that truly benefits and inspires someone such as myself, who is imprisoned.
In a prisoner’s eyes, it is you who is truly distinguished and notable, and words cannot adequately express the gratitude that someone like me who is imprisoned has for your willingness to interact with them and show your support.
