I watched Mohabbatein again today. It's a touching
movie. I couldnt stop crying while I was watching it. I had to get up
and do jumping jacks and run in order to snap out it. I feel weird now.
I havent cried in ..a really long time. It's okay to cry.. but a i
often view crying as a sign of weakness. Crying doesn't solve
anything..but it lets out emotion..but so does exercise.. dancing..or
playing an instrument. Which, compared to crying, are a lot more..i
dont know..worth a person's time. I like happy tears. That type of
crying is alright with me. Like the filmy.. "i love you, too" type of
crying...or seeing someone after a long time type of crying.
People cry during movies because they can either relate to a character/characters, the story, or because they sympathize with one or more of the characters, right? For me, it was a little bit of both and because I feel like a fish swimming against a ferocious current. I could relate to that in Mohabbatein..(Shah Rukh trying to win against Amitabh..a little far fetched, i know).
Anyway, I was on the phone with Amrita today. And we were talking about music. I let her listen to this song I was listening to by Enya called "Return to Innocence". It has this African guy singing in it. I told Amrita that I really liked it even though I couldn't understand what the African guy was saying. And then I told her about how I like the Turkish music Nazli burned for me. I like good music that I can't understand. And I love techno. And so Amrita said, "You like to feel the music rather than listen to its words" or something along that line. And so yeah, that's pretty true. That's probably why I can never memorize songs..I really can't. The conversation we had reminded me of
Our conversation reminded me of The Chosen. Which, I've related to my life before (right, Amrita? :p). Anyway, the part that I thought of was when Danny explains to Reuven that his father doesn't speak to him because he believes that words distort feeling.
