Salam Alaikum everyone.
May you all be in the best state of health and faith.
Well, how many of us watch movies? Any type is accepted. 70%? 80 or may be 90%. And some of us are literal movie addicts. One example is writing this article.
Recently I got to know about a real fine actor, Edward Norton. A fun-to-watch guy. His acting is really nice, I mean I was really surprised why didnt I got to know about him before? Anyways, back to topic.
I was watching the movie, keeping the faith. Loved it. Though I had nothing to do with the movie, as it was for catholic christians and jews, still the acting, cast, cinematography, everything was nice. And there starred the guy Edward Norton. Forget everything, his versatile way of acting was truly stunning. When I used to be 13, 14, I was always watching the movies of guys who were cute. Come on, every person goes through this stage, I am no exception.
Well this time I watched the movie for the sake of acting. I searched for more movies of Ed Norton and found one cute, light movie 'The Painted Veil'.
The movie's story was wonderful. A cute couple, married for no reason. The thing I loved was,"You hate me? I dont hate but wont love either'" theory. The main actress, Naomi Watts (who also happens to be the producer wtih Ed Norton for the movie), was playing Kattie. A selfish, spolied, fun-loving english girl. Mr. Walter Fane, Kattie's husband was played by Edward Norton. A serious, quite but somehow loving english man. Who fell in love with Kattie even though they were no match.
The start went good between them. But as time passed, their relationship got lost somewhere. As Walter wasnt what she expected, she falls in love with some other guy. A really wierd (FOR ME weird cos I hated that character) guy who pretends to fall in love with everyone. Named Charles townsend. Hated him from all my heart.
But Walter wasnt as much of a fool as Kattie expected him to be. He knew everything. One condition he kept for Kattie that whether he will divorce her or take her with him to a Cholera epidemic effected area of Interior China.
She asked him not to make it a scandal. But Walter was a man of his rules. All he wanted to do was punish her for what she did to him and punish himself for deciding to marry her. That was really sad for both of them.
Kattie asks Charlie that Walter will let her divorce him quietly if Charlie agrees to marry her and let his wife divorce him. But Charlie turned out to be a true coward. He said,"We have to keep my wife out of it as much as possible."
And there goes the climax. Kattie has no option other than going with her husband, who happens to be a doctor and a bacteriologist. And took charge of the hospital serving cholera patients.
Now watch the movie yourself. Cos I dont want to spoil the fun. As for why I am writing the article. The reason is the main concept. When Kattie started to hate Walter, I liked his way that he never hated her. Nor did he divorce her. No matter what, he was her husband. Though what he did, taking to a disease effected area wasnt much of a sincere thing but he remained to be a true person. How he saves her life from the nationalist people was superbly amazing. At the end of the day she was Mrs. Walter fane. And you like it or not, they were married. A couple. I wonder how awesome it would be if all people become loyal like this.
Forget about couples. I am just 17, have no reason to think about marriage. Nothing personal actually, I would hate to get married. Forget it..!!
In friendship, how much loyalty is required. People, their hatred, love, money, ranks, everything means nothing infront of a friend or I should say a loyal friend. I remember one of my friends. She was one awesome person. Or a friend people dream for. I had that dream. But after all her promises, sincerity and other stuff turned out to be a lie, I was devastated. Wonder why people do this? You dont have to be a president to become a friend.
It was heartbreaking. Still I am trying to get over it and thinking, WHY? I mean whats people's problem? If you cant be a human, dont pretend to be one. If you are no sincere person than back off and stop making friends. Be with your loved ones who really love you and stop messing with other people's life.
Loyalty means being with your friend and being with him even if he isnt with you. Being a friend means being sincere. Its like to be a Muslim, you HAVE TO believe in ALLAH and the Last Prophet peace be upon him. And thats your responsiblity. So be a good person, be loyal or dont mess with others. Not all people hate others, but some. Not all people are loving but some are. Be careful.
Stay blessed.
Fi aman ALLAH
