Thoughts emerge out from a mind that prefers to type them out rather than pen them down.

What do the movies teach you?

| Tuesday, August 26, 2008
When you watch movies for the second time, you are familiar with the story line, the plot and the suspense. That's when the mind starts thinking about the lessons to be learned from the movies. When you pay attention, there are lots of lessons to be learned from the movies. One just needs to pay attention to what the director wants to convey. So let us start analyzing what the movies have to teach us by taking up the recent Will Smith starrer Hancock where Will Smith plays John Hancock (assumed name. Real name: No idea!!)

What does Hancock teach you?

1. All of us are born in pairs.

2. You are free to do whatever you want as long as you go solo.

3. While you are solo, you are as good as a superhero.

4. Once you find your “better half”, your powers start draining out.

5. Your “better half” or the proximity of your “better half” is the reason for the drain of your powers.

6. While you were solo, you could stop trains and take on machine gun bullets but now, a revolver is more than enough.

7. You don’t realize that you have lost your powers until it’s too late.

8. They don’t tell you the secrets until something drastic takes place.

9. The farther away you go from your “better half”, the faster you regain your lost powers.

10. While you are gone, they move on while you drink on.
