Movies, people and million other little pieces. Not being able to feel permanency in life is a rather strange feeling. I think, something has changed. Inside me. I have always been a strong believer in human relationships, I cherished movies like Blue Valentine, Restless and even Crazy Stupid Love for that matter. Movies where the focus is on relationships, not just the one between a boy and girl, but more.
But now, I seem to be losing that passion for people conducting and functioning in bonds with other people. I don't deny that it is quiet lovely. I have a friend who has been in a long distance relationship for last 7 years, my brother in fact is quiet an epitome of functional love.
I like feeling love around me, even the kind you feel from a friend. But an instinct inside me screams out its transiency. Maybe it is a transition, the one you feel while stepping into a new house, and then entering into a room, the moment you see it its yours. Maybe I have stepped into a new house and found my perfect room.
People are driven such small things, the greatest men to almost insignificant one. I have watched movies like Persona and Everything is Illuminated, there is no greatness about them, maybe that's why they appeal so much. Though need of companionship may seem unnecessary, but it is required. There are times when shutting yourself and doing nothing helps, but has the greedy heart ever been so innocent? Talking and communicating adds and removes various things. I might feel these trivial relationships are meaningless, but the truth is that they are mandatory. Who would want to travel the world (happily alone) and come back to an empty house? We want someone to tell our stories to, if not always accepted, but just heard. Though beauty of such little aspects feels fading, in the world all around...
Dark Knight Rises, I can talk about it for hours. But what I feel really is, how magnanimous and courageous, does love make some. Bruce Wayne fought the hardest to fulfill the dreams of his father for Gotham, caretaker of the people. Alfred, the most amazing character, sticks beside Wayne family even years after the demise of his real masters. Even while standing in front of their graves, he apologizes for failing them. Where did such beauty disappear? We all are puppets of our childhood, a series of events that lead to form a man or woman. Catwoman lacked a family, and she changed with just few words, "There is more to you". And how Bruce reminds Gordon of the day he lost his parents and what gave him hope was Gordon telling him that it wasn't the end of the world. Its not fantastical, its a story behind every soul worth looking at. A bit of love when you have your first fall, forms you and an ignorance of some innocent need is like dominoes falling.
Jung wasn't wrong. There is a collective consciousness that binds people, keeps them in a grid. This worlds needs a larger emotion, but even when they do feel it, they'll probably grab someone closest to them and make them a part of it.
I don't appreciate the state of our civilization, it is very close to being a disaster. And this, it doesn't apply to all. One needs to be aware of oneself. Happiness, is the ultimate aim for everyone. From Batman to Christopher (Into the Wild), in their final moments, they seek for a home. But to understand the beauty of it, a disaster is needed. A big one, that induces fear and a need for survival. All of us should put ourselves out there, feel threatened and beaten once in a while.
I would like to conclude this with a quote by Ra's al Ghul-
" If you make yourself more than just a man, if you devote yourself to an ideal... you become something else entirely. A legend, Mr. Wayne, a legend!"
