Why do we feel pain? So that we know we're alive. But, that is really contradicting the point of living. What's the point of living when we feel pain all the time, right?
Anyway, enough talk about living. Lets talk pain. Everyone feels pain. Great, cliche. Everyone feels different pains. Not bad, still a little cliche. Now, everyone FEELS traumatising pain at some point in their lives. Pain so unbearable we border on the point of life and death, emotionally and physically.
Hell, yeah. Tis' not something one would be particularly fond of talking about. But, the truth is, we need to face our fears, right? When there is something indescribable that is so painfully stuck in our minds, why the hell do even bother to bring it up? Because, we want to. Our nature of wanting to heard and felt by others mysteriously puts us in a state whereby we only want to talk about that deep pain inside, instead of finding ways to resolve it ourselves.
Okay, take 5, guys. Visualize everything we know about our pains or traumas which have been stuck inside us for light years. THIS IS NOT THERAPY. So, once we have grasped that, do whatever we think is best for ourselves. IF you want to let that pain 'destroy' you, let it. Or, if you were to 'destroy' it, then please, by all means, do.
Only we know what's best for ourselves. That's painful enough...
Review of The Week!
Movie : The Avengers (2012)
Awe-inducing, funny and action-packed, this could be the superhero movie of the year (not that there are many).
It is unusual for directors to modify the genre of superhero movies. To be precise, if we are looking for some popcorn entertainment, Joss Whedon could have easily turned this into a full-blown alien-versus-superhero affair (that actually would not be too bad). Interestingly to note however, he does not. With an affinity to blend action scenes with tongue-in-cheek humor, he balances the tone of the movie to be both rewarding and most definitely, superhero-themed.
There are plenty of noteworthy things you can brag about this movie. The cinematography, the script, the visuals, the cast, the production design. Surely though, there would be one or two flaws, but they are not really meant to be called 'flaws' per se. Bending the laws of physics, 'saving the world' is saving the US and how Hulk manages to comply to orders are just some of the minor 'flaws'. These are probably things that you would just like to ignore for the sake of giving the director the benefit of the doubt.
It is quite evident that Whedon has made this film his own. He incorporates humor into almost every scene, as if things are not to be taken too seriously in the world of The Avengers. And it should be like that. Again, the emphasis on superhero movies usually lie on destruction, life-saving and personalization of characters. But here, there is some of that, but not completely. No chessy lines. No rushed pacing. No cliche-ridden narrative. (Just Loki speaking in a not-so-sharp English accent.)
The movie can also be likened to last year's Deathly Hallows (Part 2); a lot of hype, and duly delivered. At least we could expect how the last Harry Potter movie was meant to be : an emotional, epic battle. The Avengers did deliver but there is something different to the whole theme that somehow manages to change our view on how superhero movies should be in the future. Is it Robert Downey Junior's Shakespearean jab at Thor? Or is the excellent cinematography of sticking to single shots instead of quick-fire editing? Heck, it could even be Scarlett Johansson's semi-obscene display of bust. Anyhow the movie is a success, most definitely.
Unprecedented, now that is one word to decribe Joss Whedon's take on a superhero movie.
Personally*... Stay in your seats till the end; there are rumors that an extra scene is added to the US version of The Avengers, for compensation of the late release.
