Saw Richard Attenborough’s “Grey Owl” on TV. (Saw “Gandhi” in my elementary school years.) It featured Pierce Brosnan as Archie Belaney, a.k.a. “Grey Owl.” Based on a true story.
Loved the movie. Like “The King of Masks,” it touched on the relationship between living an authentic, passion-filled life and merely “playing” a role/part. Or more derogatorily, merely “faking” it.
Can one live an authentic life when one is engaged in a deception? Can one have “authority” when “authenticity” is lacking? What does it mean to be “authentic”?
