The other day I was watching 2 movies on my LCD Screen. Which moves me and makes me question a lot of what’s happening around the world.
First up is the 1995 The American President, this is a great movie with some of the best actor and actresses in the same place to watch and the writing is magnificent. This is the only place where you’d see Michael Douglas, and Martin Sheen (who later became the President in The West Wing) in the same screen, with Michael J. Fox. Annette Bening is the President’s Love interest. And Richard Dreyfuss is the next election opponent. It’s a miracle that the movie ever been made even. Well to avoid the seriousness of the subject, they interwoven the fictional love story of a widower president with a lobbyist with some humor. (which in reality I’m wondering if it actually is a crime?). Anyway, regardless, aside from the main line of love story, the caliber of the writing is just impeccable. The story touches on a lot of issue that to my realization almost 20 years later we are still talking about the same issues and the issues is becoming more and more real as the time drags on. The Global Warming and Fresh Air issue, the uselessness of some crime bill, the Libya tension with America, the women’s right bill passed unenforced. And one more thing that dawn on me, that how many people in America and the media address the most powerful man in the world today most of the time as Obama, and very seldom do I hear them pronounce him as President Obama. I as an outsider find it strange that so many president before President Obama is often called upon with the title in front but for the past couple of years I’ve heard more “President Elect Obama” in the last year of President Bush’s administration than I’ve heard “President Obama”. This movie is a great reflection of what’s happening today. And makes me thought of a couple things I’ve thought of before. It’s not easy to do the RIGHT thing. But that doesn’t mean that it ain’t Hard to take the EASY way either. If you ride through the turbulence then the Fight for the RIGHT is worth it. But to Dwell in the Hellish chasm of EASY WAY of cowardness and ignorant and self pity and anger for the rest of your life. Which one is Better? Which one that often people takes? Which path u often take? We all have our own answer, but my hope and love was that please, please, take the RIGHT path and wake up and walk straight to your destiny with all my Love and prayers to your success.
The next one is a more recent TV movie. The Lost Valentine, a Cynical journalist interview the main line of the story, an old lady waiting every year on Valentine Day for the past 40 years for her husband who is MIA in the Vietnam war to come home to her. Through the journey, the Journalist found love and the Lady attain a closure in the end.
My thought is that the choice of waiting til the right one comes along and falling in love and waiting for him forever which one you’d rather. And it’s pretty clear that everyone would rather fall in love and then with that love in your heart and wait forever to reunite than never experience it by not letting go and putting yourself out for the “Perfect” one. And in my opinion, “Perfect Circle” comes with Black and White and Good and Bad, only by that will it becomes complete and will only by accepting it that we would elevate above the circle to see the “Whole Truth”.
Love is the main title here, and when Betty White fall crying at the return of her husband at the end of the movie. I find that regardless what happened and what’s missing, time or the person for all those years, true love and the experience of it is the “Eternal” remain in our soul and I want that.
