these days so many 3D movies are coming out. its almost as if, every new Hollywood movie is made for 3D. Of course, to get the people to movie theaters from their huge TV sets at home, something more will have to be offered. piracy through internet has also made movies available on most people's laptop.
anyway, we are not talking about such a change in technology. i wanted to talk about the aspect of time travel, which is coming up so often in these 3D movies. x-men - days of future past, tom cruise movie, edge of tomorrow to mention just few. of course, going to the past or the future in time is amazing concept. its highly improbable, but nevertheless a juicy idea to play around with our limitations as a human being. of all the species, only human beings can imagine be lost in this 'time travel' concept.
however, what about our everyday life? aren't we traveling through time? even though in one direction, and without much control. from present to future, with memories of past. how much do we appreciate this everyday time travel? a question i would like to ask myself every morning ;)
recently saw a movie called, goal 2: living the dream. amazed by the football scenes from that movie, as that movie's hero is an international football player, for Real Madrid no less. i have never ever seen such real life sports visuals in a movie ever. after watching countless hours of football during fifa 2014 world cup, i was still stunned by the realistic (and even hyper realistic) football action shown in this movie. but see the part 1 of this movie first, if you plan to watch goal 2.
recently, for a week, i was taking care of a dog. a 6 month old Labrador puppy, was about to be handed over to another owner, and the in-between week, i was the keeper. this dog thus stayed with me for most part of the day and whole of night as well. she would swim with me, sleep just below my chair & bed, and was like a shadow, for a week. then she had to be handed over to the new place, where she would be going.
first i thought it was silly to 'miss' a dog, who was with me for just a week. but it was tough, and i was really missing her presence, even after couple of weeks had passed. generally i can let go very quickly (at times, even i get scared of this occurrence, as my 'let go' happens so quickly and without effort on my part.. so far, i had just accepted this 'let go' ability as a part of me, and that's how i deal with it, i guess). so, this 'missing' feeling was something i never imagined i would be capable of.
well, maybe when it comes to attachment, dogs are different. or maybe deep down, all humans are same. ;)
