Movie Confusion...

Hi All...

Sorry, because I am in the confused mood again and still writing this. I think: you should be clear whenever you are making any statement or putting forward your opinion. But still today, I am in confused mood writing this... see the confusion -I am repeating...

The culprits behind this confusion are three movies which I saw in these three days... Earlier I watched The Reader (Academy award winner: Kate Winslet), The Secret Life of Bees(2008 USA) and just finished 아내가 결혼했다 : Anaega Gyeolhonhaetda : My Wife Got Married (2008 Korean movie).

My Wife Got Married is a story of man, he likes a girl, starts sleeping with her, breaks up, asks for marriage, gets married and suddenly his wife tells him: she wants to get married with the other man and she wants to live with him and the other man too... Here comes the thing ... Now onwards everything is what I feel and its my personal opinion and I don't have much knowledge about films but still I want to write why I am confused... OK let's get back to it...) It's like director has wasted half of the film in the showing romance between the girl and first guy... ( it might be necessary for the professional success on box office ...) but I did not find The Thing (The Love) between the couple or in their romance. It doesn't show that he is mentally involved in her. He goes on acting like " she is mine and she should be mine only ... " and in this pursuit he asks her to get married, to show that she is now his property. But she is not the bird in the cage - she moves ahead and likes another man and says that she liked him before meeting our hero. OK I understood this. Now she gets married with the other man too... and lives with him for weekdays and with hero for weekends ...

OK I will not reveal all the plot and again I am not advertising the movie but I want you to go, see the movie and tell me answers of my questions.

Why they didn't show the thoughts of the heroine? It's like till the end I didn't understand the reason behind her second marriage. I think there exists some reason behind it but it should be uncovered Just saying sentences like " He is just like me or our thoughts are same " do not help to clarify her feelings. I can understand this is the movie from the perspective of Hero but it's injustice with the Heroine that showing her like the selfish one and just seeing for herself.

In today's society, you have rights to live your life on your terms but still I don't feel that you should live your life hurting others' feelings all the time and not thinking about them. Because it's not the case that you can live without other people. So you have to give, not much but little respect to society.

(Oh is it heavy ? should I write like this or not ... I am confused again ... )

I am not going to talk much about the reader but I would suggest you to watch this movie, too. It is a good drama. But I personally feels the same about it. Director failed to show the real bonding between the two leads. He failed to display why the boy loves the lady so much. Is it because she is his first love ... but that's the thing ... I am not getting The Love in it ...

( May be I am searching just too hard but ...)

But I could find the Love in The Secret Life of Bees. The love between boy and girl, between sisters, and between friends... I guess I think a lot ... Again as mentioned in the earlier post I should not think ... But these movies made me confused and so ...

I will write again soon ... and I promise: that will not be such a heavy thing ...

Till then Good bye, नमस्ते , Shabba Khair, An-nyoung, sayo-nara, 再见, Auf widersehen …


Have a nice time and Stay Warm (you have to say it, when you are living in Fargo…)
