Foundations to life



Whilst at the cinema today ... watching Breaking Dawn Part 2 (which was Fabbbb!).... I saw an advert for a movie called The Impossible. 
The Impossible Poster


It is released in January 2013, and is (as described by IMBD) "An account of a family caught, with tens of thousands of strangers, in the mayhem of one of the worst natural catastrophes of our time."
From my understanding of the advert, it is a recreation of the 2004 South Pacific tsunami, based on a true story. 
When it comes out, it will definitely be a tear jerker of a movie, as I was nearly crying just by watching the advertisement!

 The trailer can be watched via the link above. 
The first 30 seconds of the trailer would disillusion you into thinking that this is either a Thomas Cooke commericial or a cute family movie, however it is far from both these portrayals.
Despite the saddening nature of the film itself, I think it has a very positive portrayal on human race. There is a quote that comes up which is very true...
"Nothing is more powerful than the human spirit"
In the situation, you see each person, helping out others, The son of the family was helping others to find their family, and the father saying "Ill look in all the hospitals and I'll look in all the shelters... I will find them, I promise you". 


hope, inspire, motivate, quotes, pictures, thoughts, inspiration, motivation This is a film of hope. We may be constantly bombarded of images in the media of a workd that lacks hope and love, something which is part of the foundations of the Human Beings ... What are we without hope.. "without hope we have nothing"






Without love, we as humans are just empty vessels."To live without love is merely existing, its a robots life" . As the human beings, we need to love and be loved. 


Therefore this film highlighted to me, the two things which are paramount to our Human of Being. When considering this, the famous love verse from the Bible crept into my head, and I thought I would share it.


"Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or 
rude.

Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong,

 but rejoices in the right. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things." 



On a lighter note, this week I discovered the term "Omnishambles" which has been shortlisted for the Oxford English Dictionary, and is defined as a "situation which is shambolic from every angle". Its a comical word, and my aim is to try and use it in a sentence sometime in the next week! Try it for yourself!

Take back the night ...

My blogging activity has been poor recently due to the mountain of work that is currently building up in my diary. This week has been a busy one, with admissions tests and mock exams, so on Friday nights I like to relax and read some emails... 
With being a part of the "Stop the Violence" campaign network, I regularly get informed of other great charities who support our cause. Tonight, ironically, the organisation I am looking at is called Take Back the Night - Website can be found 

A woman walks alone down a dark, deserted street. With every shadow she sees and every sound she hears, her pounding heart flutters and leaps in her chest. She hurries her pace as she sees her destination draw closer. She is almost there. She reaches the front door, goes inside, collects herself, and moves on. The lock she secures helps her to forget, at least for tonight, the gripping fear that momentarily consumed her.

Take Back the Night Foundation seek to end sexual assualt, domestic violence, dating violence, sexual abuse and all other forms of sexual violence. It aims to create safe environments and respectful relationships. As highlighted on of my previous posts I reiterated the silence that is violence against women ... WAGGGS Stop the Violence campaign along with other organisations such as Take Back the Night aim to turn this silence into a shout! 

Personally, the aim of creating respectful relationships is one that I believe will be a large task. The stigma of relationships, teenage especially, is that you let the male be in control and the female is inferior, and relies on the male ... she has the status of "in a relationship" therefore has lost all independence ... NO this isn't how it should be! 
Girls, remember L'oreal says "you're worth it!" ... You are worth so much more than to be abused in a relationship (both emotionally, mentally and physically) and you definitely don't deserve any of it!
