Was watching this movie today. Today, i felt the lowest depths of lows and each time i pushed my self to cross over a bridge to a land called 'feeling better' the bridge just gave way. I realise i am a person of extremes. too much love, too mush sadness, too much laugh, too much cry, too much fear , too much brave. Like God created contrasts and exclaimed roaringly his balance of all creations, i too am a person within whom lies a series of dark contrasts. The only difference is there is hardly a balance.
so coming back to the movie. Beauty and Beast. Two contrasts. Somehow i couldn't help see the deep underlying meaning and my own interpretation kind of lifted my spirits today. The bridge was clear and i could finally hold on. As the movie rolled, my mind wandered on some abstract interpretation of it. 'Beauty' is the natural kindness, love, warmth, care that i have been blessed with by God, my parents and all who love me. I have people who feel i am important to them. That makes me secure. That makes it easier for me to exude warmth.
'Beast' is another part of me. The jealous, selfish, self centered, proud, wierd, part of me that makes me feel that i dont care about the world; noone needs to. I need to think about what i am and what i will be.
When beauty meets beast , beauty has a certain kind of tolerance, understanding, patience and determination to make beast a better person..(oh well...or maybe a better beast).
Cut. Me,
My goodness needs to tolerate and understand where this jealousy, or the bad side of me comes from. why am i angry? is it just a defence against my insecurities?...why am i self centered? is it because i dont trust anyone?.... Slowly, beauty has more patience with my beast side. The beast side of me resists, tries to overpower beauty. Gives in. Becos it doesnt like being a beast. Becos theres way too much determination that beauty has.
Phew. Maybe it doesnt make any sense to you now that you are reading this.
well all in all i just loved the movie...it talks abt everything everyone likes.... bravery, love, genuinity, sadness, dreams, family, romance.....All colours i have in my life already, maybe not all ....doesnt matter...
