LIVING LIFE TO THE FULLEST!!
i watched 2 movies today.
In the afternoon i watched
the Prestige with Melvyn. Brilliant movie about 2 competing magicians and how they begin fighting for fame and ambition and how to outdo each other, at the expense of their souls...they begin raging and plotting against one another, for better performances..and finally to the cost of their lives. The sin of rage and power... to the cost of everything they hold dear.
Then after dinner with family, i watched
Sweet November with jie. This is a show about a dying girl who's only hope in life, is to get people around her excited and passionate about life. So Charlize Theron's character meets Keanu Reeves', and begin a journey of fun! Keanu Reeves' character begins with a person who's sole being is at work, and is fully absorbed with his secular life..that he has no time for relationships, or hobbies or anything for the matter. He bumps into her..and she forces him to make a pact to be with her for a month (that being November!) And as he falls in love with her..he begins finding out the things that he missed most part of his life-LIFE!
2 very very contrasting movies. And 2 movies that speaks of themes that lie on opposite ends of the spectrum. 1 is of loss..and another is of being found. 1 is of anger....and another's of love. 1's of death...and another's of life. This is the central theme to the tug of war life is.
What is life? The balance, or at least the struggle to balance between the 2 different themes of love and hate, of happiness and anger, of hope and despair... so on and so forth. And more importantly, to allow one theme to shine more brightly than the other!
There's something i need to do...to let the theme of faith govern my life..
Carpe Diem! Seizing the day! Actually been trying to live my life based on this philosophy from quite some time back..and as much as there may be shitty times, it has been a meaningful journey.
But the Euphoria that should come when one is in hte crux of life, living it...the peace that comes from being friends and being loved, the love that 'springs forth from within', the enjoyment of the movement of life and animals and plants and the skies and the people...the sheer basking in the greatness and splendour of the love of my family..the singing to the rythm of life as said in e cj talk..its smth im constantly reaching out, to grasp and just to be intimate with life.
