Changing perspectives through changing situations...

Last night i saw the movie 2012..no, am not writing a review of the movie here. While thinking about the movie a simple thought came to my mind: how circumstances can change our views and feelings drastically. Though the movie doesnt bring it out explicitly, but if we see carefully, it shows how people come together in tough times. A couple who had parted long time back, come together when they are fighting against death. On a broader scale it even shows how whole nations come together to save the 'human' from the catastrophe. How the rift between people of different nations is removed and they realize they all a part of Earth, and not of a particular country. At that point it is not about the survival of an individual, or a power, its about survival of the Earth as a whole. Its not even all good. There are people who think of their individual good and even at the cost of others.

Well, coming out from the movie and talking about the real world, most of us spend so much time fighting, cribbing and other such negative activities. But am sure whenever we look back, it will always be the happiest moments of our lives which we'll want to remember. As rightly said "It is the happiest moments of lives which bring tear to the eye." Perhaps am being a bit philosophical but its actually a very simple thought. Years later we wont remember the fights we had with our friends but the fun we had together!

So, why to waste our time in fights and violence. Its not because I believe in the theory of the world coming to an end. But the world around us would be so much more beautiful if we filled it with colours and happiness. Why to do something which we'll regret later. Lets just make the most of today for a better tomorrow.

LUCK...wanna take a chance to watch it??

LUCK!! The movie truly follows its title from the beginning till the end, but I don’t think there is anything else worthwhile to watch in the movie. The viewer is in fact reminded about the title every five minutes. One can actually take a click to count the number of times the title comes in the dialogues.

The introduction of the movie is with some stunts, but they fail to get the impact. The concept was perhaps Hollywood style, but the movie fails miserably in effects. Due to lack of proper effects, half the impact goes, and the dialogues motivate you to get up and go in between the movie. Half the scenes and dialogues are so predictable, that there isn’t any suspense left in the movie. After a point you can’t help laughing at the stupid dialogues. It seems the writer has taken a mixture of all possible old dialogues, and fitted them together in the movie. Whether the dialogues suits or not, is not a concern.

There has been an attempt to put all possible situations of action, romance, crime and revenge in the movie, but none of these are able to grasp the viewer’s attention. So all my dear friends better think twice before watching the movie!!

Perspective

One day a father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the firm purpose of showing his son how poor people live. They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family. On their return from the trip, the father asked his son, "How was the trip?" "It was great, Dad". "Did you see how poor people live?" the father asked. "Oh yes", said the son. "So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?" asked the father.
The son answered, "I saw that we have one dog and they had four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of the garden and they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night. Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon. We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight.. We have servants to serve us, but they serve others. We buy our food, but they grow theirs. We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to protec them." The boy's father was speechless. Then his son added, "Thanks, Dad for showing mea how poor we are."
Isn't perspective a wonderful thing ? Makes you wonder what would happen if we all gave thanks for everything we have, instead of worrying about what we don't have.
