I don't watch Hindi films. I have nothing against them and I am not deriding them.
In fact, I try to avoid watching them because they are addictive and incredibly magnetic.
You see, Hindi films bring you to a subliminal level where you make-believe that you are living in a planet inhabited by beautiful people.
The combination of ingredients in Hindi movies is lethal, lending to the characteristc high drama -- good-looking screen heroes/heroines, tear-jerking-heart-wrenching plot with yoyo climaxes and several sub-plots, composition of rich and poor/wealth and poverty elements, mesmerising music plus dancing, and amazing cinematography bordering on fantasy.
Now, you see what I mean?
Anyway, while visiting my friend the other day, the TV was on and guess what? A Hindi movie was playing.
I shuddered.
I wanted to look away. To look the other way.
But, as you and I know, Hindi movies are potent in its appeal. And at that point of time, I must admit, I was willing to be devoured.
Oooh. How could I look away. ooh... what a hunk of a hero and, ooh... what a hunk of a crook. Yummy!
And when they showed the leading lady or heroine....my heart stopped. What a beauty. So ethereal!
You see what I mean? You get hypnotised. And I always tell myself that I am never gonna go that way! You know, becoming a Hindi movie junkie.
Some of the most sane and sensible people I know have turned over, and never ever able to turn or look back.
It is crazy, I tell you.
But, I digress.
Here's what I got from a dialogue. What a gem....
A woman attending her girlfriend's wedding. And this girlfriend of hers is marrying someone she does not love. She left the love-of-her-life (a hunk of a guy, I swear) because of a stupid misunderstanding. A little misplaced and unsubstantiated mistrust ( from what I could gather...)
And she was sad on her wedding day when she realised the folly of her action.
This friend told the bride:
"You must not love anyone too much, too deeply.... that a little misunderstanding between you both can be so misconstrued to be an unforgivable act of betrayal..."
My mouth was agape.
Was that a pearl of wisdom or whaaat?
I felt as though someone had slapped or pinched me, knocked my head even.
Yeah, lady.
Too much love can really go awry.
Too much love really blinds you.
Too much, Way too much.
Pain. Ache.
Love. Love. Love....

Witch,
I dont like to watch movies in a language that I dont understand. A hindustani movie more often than not will have 2 subtitles, Malay and English, making it difficult to read the subtitles. Reading subtitles itself is distracting enough.
I heard there are great Indian movies in English.
Sister,
Again, your posting stabs right through my heart.
The loving too much part is seriously painful.
Sadly, people miscontrue love to be the ultimate essence of a marriage. Soon, they will discover what a lethal mistake it is to think that way.
While love is essential in a marriage, too much of it could be potent.
Love: thy will be done!
What do you think sister?
zawi,
i know what u mean. but i love French movies. Also Mandarin movies. There are some good Hindi movies, but stangely, they do not have the (indian) commercial appeal. And now, I have been watching some great Iranian films.
I don't like dubbed movies.
thanks for visiting...
elviza,
someone very wise told me --- never to love your man more than he loves you.
That never made any sense to me until I found myself in love. then i understood.
and yes... never give too much of your love to your man....
wei shahrukh khan wei my fav bollywod actor..
ya ya love is boring in a certain way..but nice when u love some love weeee..
hassan: i always believe -- to each, his/her own!
as long as you are happy....
They say, everything in moderation! I believe that but not about love. We can never love too much. Whenever someone fails us or betrays our trust, we feel hurt. It does not matter whether we love that person little or much.
hey tony, mr stand-up philosopher.
you,my dear man, are an incurable romantic.
well, we oughta have you cloned -- becose, methinks, you are well on your way to becoming part of an extinct specie.
can i marry you?
Men especially, have too much love in them. Even after they have given much love to their wifey,kids,parents there are still much love left to give away.
anon@8:50am,
and that is the start of all our problems....
women have so much love too...but they know better than to be spreading all that luuurrrvvvee....
Hi WB :o)
My mom gave the same advice b4 i got married.
save 20% of your love for yourself for you never know what can happen in the future. i think the scope of the advice can be wider - same goes for money, assets etc.
nothing is for sure, right? better be prepared than sorry.
Syana,
I so agree! Listen to your mom, girl!
and take care..
