Was actually quite clueless as to what movie to watch after Flight. GI Joe and Star Trek sequels are not in any time soon.
Can't believe that I actually caught on a film premier (*a belated post as I watched on the 8th), and owing to this fact and ethical concerns, I am not gonna elaborate on too many details ;) Some personal gains from a hilarious and meaningful movie :)
#1- Good and bad siDes siTes
Contrast and antonyms make good & bad looks on the opposite polar, and that one has to fight/ suppress/ ignore the bad so that only good shows.
Good is socially approved, highly celebrated. Doing thing that others/ majority agreed is good, doesn't necessarily equate to total goodness and far-fetched badness. Good and bad is subjective, and subjective means (relax, plenty rooms for error ^^)
Bad, on the other hand, is the opposite of the aforementioned (cutting grandma story, and oh yes, dilemma myself ). But I don't mean it in the all-or-none fashion, or either siDes. I believe they co-exist, and we choose which siTe to wear on ourselves in situations encountered. Like Theodora.
Absolutely no intention to haughtily preach about "you have a choice in everything and hence you choose sadness, not the otherwise". Sounds insensitive, zero empathy, worse than noise pollution. But I do believe it- we choose who we want to be, how we would want to feel, think, and act. External situation influences, but they still not as powerful and capable to decide. I think social exchange theory explains cost-benefit analysis and sacrifice well. Off course the ideal would be win-win (benefit offsets cost) situations, but looking in depth, win-win in reality could be benefit outweighs cost greatly (super little lost- hurray drum rolls~), benefit outweighs cost moderately (heart still can withstand- breathe in breathe out tomorrow is a brand new day), and benefits super little despite minimal cost (somebody dial 999 please)
The point being, it would be quite hard to be in a situation with outcome that is purely personally satisfying without having to devote to other thoughts. Life is a series of choices made, and where we are today reflect the past choices. Like Theodora (for God's sake this is no Harry Porter sequel get down from the broom).
敬仰的作家刘墉老师说过，情到深处总是伤。
但伤本身并不代表坏－自己坏，别人坏，世界坏。
伤，痛，是身体对外界的一种反应。
当然伤痛感觉很糟，因为感觉真的很不好。
都在疼了，感觉不好了，怎么还要生自己的气呢？仿佛跟疼痛神经元过不去。实实在在地跟所有与痛有关的人，事，过不去，包括自己。
伤痛疼不是输了，失败了。
但如果选择跟疼痛神经元闹，跟执著纠缠不清，让报仇和怨恨主宰人生，就算刚开始，世界真的对不起自己，到最后，是自己选择了对不起自己。
Quote 几米老师：“感谢伤痛使我更灵敏”。
Also, listen and accepting opinion humbly is different from letting people strewn malice and walking all over. (*To add to the hilarious, Theodora could tell her sister that her fire meant to make her looks hawtt. Although hawt-temper is really an alternative, and a bad, self-demeaning one) :P
感谢这电影，让我明白，原来，伤痛并不丑恶。
反之，自己允许别人继续伤害兼自残，自怨自艾，怨天尤人才是最可怕的。
伤痛也许会留疤，但真正让自己出丑的，是拿伤痛跟疤大作文章。
也许现在，满腔怨恨，心灵破碎。
东山起不来，万事还有自己。
如果想大作文章，不如利用伤痛作为警惕，让自己日后活得漂亮，活得真切。最重要的，就是要知道，选择丑陋与魅力、美丽，只有自己能够做到 (Theodora could get off the broom and stop photosynthesis herself, 'coz I dont think it is in anyone's favor to ask her get off the brown and probably consider SK-II) ;)
