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. 

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". 

 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!
