A movie,1993,close to Pulp fiction.Life,death, evil acts all simplified in a single platform.a casual sattire on one of the most gruelling truths of life,death.Ends on a happy note.What struck me was a ironical display of belongingness,of love,care and emotions amidst brutality,crime and the greed for money.Contradictions-are they so easy to portray? Can we be good to some and evil to others at the same time?? Do we all wear multi faceted masks,changing one each time,to get our parts right all the time? Do we act good ,when deep inside we hate what we do?Do we or dont we??No thought,or a lot of thought?? Perhaps,no thought,all is fiction.
But, when you see stories of brutality and revenge in newspapers,media all around,you feel estranged. Every alternate day,some or the other story of a revenge,of dowry deaths,of people not managing well with each other peacefully after marriage,the persons in question being the "ones who were once upon in love with each other"? When love starts making you what you never wanted to be,is it still love?You should fall in love,and rise thereafter.But if the feeling of being in love makes you think that you were better off single,its not love anymore...Is it a gift of our high collared jobs which leave us with less time for bonding with our loved ones?Or the westernisation of ideas where breaking trust is no more a sin,or where the frustration of working hard with not much recognition leashes upon tender relationships?or where some decisions are borne out of circumstances than will??
Wonder,as its high time we recollect,retrospect and realize how important relationships are and whether we can accept a person at his/her worst before looking at brighter sides .And put an end to ignoring the differences and endless arguments above certain limits and reconcile with realities with an open mind and an open heart?
And love shall prevail.
