Movies Galore

I managed to catch up on some good movies over the past two weeks, notably The Untouchables which was touted as the best movie since 'The Godfather'. The movie was about the life of Al Capone and how Al played by Robert De Niro will try to outwit the law enforcement officer in charge of Al Capone's arrest played by Kevin Costner. The movie was above average as Robert De Niro shined in the role and the untouchables gang which had Sean Connery was unpredictable and funny.

I also caught The Exorcist, the 1973 version which was touted as the best horror movie. After watching the movie, I felt cheated as I couldn't feel goosebumps while watching the movie. I watched it alone in my hostel room but I still did not feel fear engulfing me. I will perhaps watch the movie with the lights off to create the atmosphere the next time around. After the movie, it suddenly began to hit me that the Devil can possess anyone anytime if the story is true as claimed to be and that's a very scary thought. I began to wonder why should the Devil prey on an innocent girl when it should have preyed on fucked up men but then again, these fucked men have already fulfilled their purpose and the devil needs more good people to come to its side. It also exposes the devil's brutal nature as it does not leave children who in my opinion should not be touched as I feel that they should be protected from the harsh realities to a certain extent until a certain age.

It makes me wonder if the Devil actually exists or it's a concept coined by humans to induce fear in human. As I was telling one of my friends, hot vs cold, left vs right and lots of opposites exist so there could be a possibility of Satan to oppose God. I strongly believe that God is the cause of both good, bad and ugly and I won't be surprised if God if indeed created Satan so that people will realise and appreciate the good things in life.

Nobody is perfect and I have made some horrible mistakes in the past and did not feel good about making those mistakes but if you do not make the mistakes, you will not know it's a mistake. That experience have strengthened my resolve to not commit the same mistake and I'm glad to have made the mistake and learnt from it and continued with my life. Living a mistake free-lifestyle is a mistake. Making mistakes and learning from it is what makes life!!
