Today I was watching a movie namely “The Last Kiss” about a troubled marriage after the child. The story first shows how much the couple loved each other and were about to start a family. They were even planing to buy a house when she gets pregnant. Suddenly the guy starts feeling that his life is over and there is no adventure left in his life and he gets involved with another gal only to find himself in a situation where he looses both of them but his constant efforts was successful finally in persuading the love of his life.
At one point in the movie when the female lover was persuading her lover not to get disheartened and keep trying to look positive and work in the direction of the goal ( buying a house), she says these words ” You need to breathe or you die“. The boyfriends laughs.
Even I laughed at first but once I imbibed the deeper meaning, it got me stunned and eventually motivated. I have always wondered how easily in simple layman’s language these Hollywood movies state those bitter truths of life.It graciously flaunts the superiority of Foreign cinema of its emotional quotient in the most simple of the language possible. A message to all those who take foreign film industry as a paradise for action and science fiction lovers only. Some of the movies are just brilliant in explaining the human emotions rather beautifully and sometimes even without a single word. Consider movies on Nazi Germany like “The Pianist” and you’ll realise the emotional strength of cinema even without words at certain places.
Our first look will only find those beautiful words as any general statement of the language but if you could get your conscience work while listening one of those sentences or if your conscience ( rarely active) catches one of those sentences it will get you enlightened by the deeper meaning of life. The conscience is something having a direct connection to the soul and thus we are talking about words that connects with our soul. The part of us which is non perishable and yet not visible. The beauty of such words always lie in the simplicity of the sentence and hence having a simple meaning too for those sitting with a closed head or conscience and the deeper meaning meant for the one looking for the path of light. Such words are like the saint spoken words showing the path of light to lead which possess the power to set us on the path to The final abode.
